Anyone know the name of the song & where it's from? Thanks |
| Connard Sage | 24 Jul 2009 10:16 a.m. PST |
Wagner? More info than three variant spellings might help in your quest |
| Black Cavalier | 24 Jul 2009 10:18 a.m. PST |
No, sorry, not Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie. There's something like a German Beer Hall song where the chorus is: Valkyrie
Valkyrai
Valkyrah-hahahaha I'm sure my spelling of the words is off, but that's the closest to what it sounds like. |

I love to go a wandering!
Beneath the moon and stars!
But when I'm tired of wandering,
I go to topless bars! Val da ri!
Val da rah!
Val da ri!
Val da rahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! |

Amusingly, that *almost* describes "Dragostea din tei", the song from a couple years ago better known as "The Numa Numa Song". |

Thanks all, that's the one. & OFM, the scary thing is that I immediately recognized the "Tank you, dat a-nice" quote. Too many nights spent at my grandparents I guess. |

In my case, too many nights listening to what my grandmother wanted to watch in our house: that, and Art Linkletter, and Perry Mason--later Ironside--and Kojak. No wonder I'm warped. Allen |

The Happy Wanderer? Darn you, OFM! Now I'm having flashbacks to sixth grade… |

Originally written by Friedrich-Wilhelm Moller after World War I, The Happy Wanderer is one of Germany's most popular folk songs. |

In my case, too many nights listening to what my grandmother wanted to watch in our house: that, and Art Linkletter, and Perry Mason--later Ironside--and Kojak. brrrr.. That's an entire bad dreams worth of childhood flashbacks. Toss in Arthur Godfrey on the radio and it's time to buy some brain scrub. |

There was a "Muppet Show" segment where they did that song with mountain climbers. Spoiler alert;look out for that mountain goat. ;^) |
