A music video was produced for the song. In it, a man (Wil Veloz) sits in his house with his cat, getting ideas for the dance by watching clips of children dancing to the song. Two people comes to his house with a made-up dance to it. Soon, more people come outdoors of his house, performing the Macarena line dance. A girl's body transfers to a CGI replica on a screen, doing the dance. From this point, the video focuses on everyone doing the dance from it while Veloz sings it. At the mark of 2 minutes and 50 seconds, a car comes near the house. Two men come out of it. In Spanish, they say (complete with captions) "Hey! Can everybody dance your Macarena?". Soon, they (and two doubles) join the dance, leading into a fade-out. This removes 20 seconds out of the song.

Subject matter

"The Humpty Dance" is a tribute to Humpty's sexual prowess despite his ridiculous appearance.[4] Humpty introduces the appearance theme with the opening line, "I'm about to ruin the image and the style that you're used to," a protest against the uniformity among successful rappers of the time.[5]

In the final verse, Humpty describes the Humpty Dance itself as a loose, easy dance, "like MC Hammer on crack ... Anyone can play this game." The contrast is with the precision dancing in MC Hammer's videos. The song ends with an invitation for people of all races to join in the dance.[6]

I have an old chemistry textbook from like the 1860s and it includes every possible tangible property of every compound it lists. Melting point, density, solubility, crystal shape, color, smell, smell when burned, color of flames and smoke, taste, astringency, the feel between the fingers, even the sound it makes when you crush it in a mortar. Before analytical chemistry your senses were all you had

Some of the slang used in the film became popular in the years following its release, especially the use of the word "money" as a catch-all term of approval or quality. The exclamation "Vegas, baby!" also became a common quote when referencing the city.[3][23] Big Bad Voodoo Daddy credits much of their later music success to their appearance in the film.[3]

The show was known to have slimed their audience; when they did this they would pick someone, sit them in a chair, and ask them a question. If they answered correctly, they would get a bucket of slime (eventually changed to two buckets, then three) poured on top of them.

i am offended by people being slimed for answering questions correctly; it originated as something that happened to people who said "i don't know" :rant:

However, the drive is actually possible, travelling at an average of about 65 miles per hour (105 km/h). If he leaves Los Angeles around midnight, he can drive the 373 miles (600 km) to Phoenix in about six hours to arrive when she "rises" at 6:00 am. If she "stops at lunch" to "give him a call" at 12:30 p.m. when he is in Albuquerque, it gives him six-and-a-half hours to make the 420-mile (680 km) drive. The drive from Albuquerque to the Oklahoma border is about 390 miles (630 km), giving her plenty of time to get home and go to sleep.

i used to have a pet goose. my parents got one each for me and my sister, goslings young enough that they imprinted on us

those things continuously poo poo. they poo poo while they're awake and excited to see you, or following you around, or anxiously waiting next to the door for you to let them in so that they can poo poo lines all over the carpet. they even poo poo while they're asleep, significantly so

"like poo poo through a goose" is most definitely not hyperbole. they're kinda mean too

Geese are bad and I'm not sorry Andy is dead.

In much the same way that non-Kalamata olive trees should be extirpated to allow the cultivation of more Kalamata olives, geese should be replaced with ducks.
