It’s only two minutes, but it still has two verses, the bridge, and the key change for the last chorus. I think they upped the tempo in the new version, so they burn through the song faster.
I was struggling to remember the song and so clicked on your link. It's a surprise to realize it's the updated version. I was thinking for two minutes that I had a really terrible memory. Then I found the original and it's entirely familiar.
For those curious, the "off" means "off premises" (or something like that, they may use a different wording), so a license for a store that can sell alcohol that must be taken elsewhere to be consumed, i.e. a liquor store or package store. The inverse is an "On-License", a license to sell alcohol that may be consumed on premises, so things like bars, pubs, and restaurants.
i was buying perrier and the cashier at a walmart in utah must've thought it was liquor. probably had never sold alcohol because, y'know, the register tells you to check id. kept demanding to see my identification. I was amused. told her no. went back and forth a bit (including me telling her I wasn't buying anything that needed my ID) until we got her manager, who told her i was buying water and to stop being an idiot.
I can do the whole Fresh Prince intro, though! Back in school in the early ‘00s my geo teacher jokingly said “extra credit to anyone who can recite the Fresh Prince intro in front of class” and I stood up and recited it. Got points on my next assignment for it. Thanks, early /b/.
Doyle was the high school star
Everybody thought he'd go real far
But he didn't take a thing from the classes he took
Because he just wasn't interested in his books

I still say "holy cremola" when I'm shocked. People think it's a Batman reference, but I learnt it from Doyle!

Life is like a hurricane,
Here in, Duck-berg! somethingsomethingrhymes with cane,
It's a, duck-blur!
Let's solve a mystery,
or rewrite history!
Ducktales! Ooh oo
Fuck! I was singing that song after reading the post and I sang that fucking line right before reading your comment and now I can’t remember that part of the fucking song!
Oh it's worse not only do I have ADHD, back when I was an edgy teenager a friend of mine made up a racist version that's insanely inappropiate and overly violent.
Now we weren't racist or anything, it was the early 2000's we were bored, we thought shock humor was funny, and we didn't think anyone would think we were racist. Trump hadn't normalized Nazism, so people just thought you were being ironic at best or they just didn't give a shit at worst.
But I think of his racist version when I think of Ducktales.
No I'm not going to recite the lyrics for you, are you insane? It's so bad I wouldn't post it if this were 4chan.
I had a similar experience with the devil went down to Georgia. One of the first mp3s I ever had was a parody version about cannabis. I don't know any of the lyrics to the original but I know that one by heart
JOHNNY ROLL A BALL OF HASH AND MAKE SURE ITS THE BOMB
CAUSE THE DEVILS GOT THE KIND OF STUFF THEY SMOKED IN VIETNAM
When I was a kid, no one gave a shit if you had a Confederate Flag because people associated it with barbeques more than the Civil War. If people saw it on your law, they just assumed you liked Dukes of Hazzard.
Now it's basically the lowercase version of the Nazi flag, because the Republicans wanted to use it as a dog whistle.
So thank you GOP for taking a once-harmless symbol of the South and turning it into everything New York accused it of being.
I knew it was all over when they waved the Confederate Flag on the lawn of the White House to protest Obama, no joke, the Tea Party did that shit. How could anyone interpret that as anything outside of "President is bad because he's black"?
That's what pisses me off the most really about Obama and Trump being called "Dividers", it's not hte same thing at all. The Right hated Obama because they're racist, the Left hates Trump because HE'S racist.
D-D-Danger right behind you
There's a stranger right behind you
Nothing to do but grab onto some Duck-tales!
Tales of Derring-Do bad and good luck tales!
Not pony tails or cotton tails, no, DUCK TALES!
It's time for Animaniacs.
And we're zany to the max.
So sit back and relax.
You'll laugh till you collapse.
We're Animaniacs.
Come join the Warner Brothers.
And the Warner sister Dot.
Just for fun we run around the
Warner movie lot.
They lock us in the tower
Whenever we got caught
But we break loose and then vamoose
And now you know the plot.
We're Animaniacs
Dot is cute
And Yakko yaks
Wakko packs away the snacks
While Bill Clinton plays the sax.
We're Animaniacs.
There's Pinky and the Brain
Who want to rule the universe
Goodfeathers flock together
Slappy whacks them with her purse.
Buttons chases Mindy
While Rita sings a verse
The writers flipped
We have no script
Why bother to rehearse
We're Animaniacs
We have pay-or-play contracts
We're zany to the max
There's baloney in our pants
We're Animanie
Totally Insaney
[Add random rhyme: Pinkie and the Brainey]
Animaniacs
Those are the facts
i don't know who worked on ducktales in particular but alan menken worked at disney and he wrote so many amazing songs. to be able to pop by his idunno, studio? office? whatever and ask for advice probably helped.
Free money code for SimCity 2000. Also, The Sims. I've got those on speed dial despite their complete uselessness today except to prove I played those games years ago.
The verse of the Gummy Bears theme tune is just the Soviet Union National Anthem speeded up. Same chord sequence.
If you put the Gummy Bears lyrics and the English translation of the Soviet Anthem next to each other, the two sets of lyrics are pretty much interchangeable.
I think so, but it was a long time ago! I think I was trying to play the anthem on piano, and whilst working it out, suddenly thought "this is just the Gummy Bears theme tune slowed down".
With some more talent, confidence and free time, I would have attempted to produce a recorded version in the last decade or so - but I never did, so if anyone else can, please do so. It's probably worth quite a few "Internet points" :)
Former Retail Worker Here: I got cussed out by a lot of senior citizens who thought I was fucking with them when I asked to see ID. I absolutely wasn't, the machine would not let me process a sale of alcohol unless I scanned in the ID. I didn't have a choice.
My trans mom is visiting right now. We're livid about it. This was a conversation about getting carded for beer - if I'm not going to just go insane in this nightmare world you'll have to allow for a little compartmentalisation.
Even the stuff for alcohol can be excessive. I went to Chicago a while ago and they asked a man with greying hair for ID when he wanted to buy... like... dude, he was clearly over 21.
They used the same song for the 2017 reboot, so that wouldn’t work. (Same lyrics, new recording.)
Can confirm. My kid’s watched the series over summer break and it’s been stuck in my head.
🎶🎵Duck Tales WOO HOO 🎶🎵
Ok what about Darkwing Duck or TaleSpin?
They’d work. They both got referenced in the DuckTales reboot (along with Gummi Bears and Rescue Rangers), but they never got their own modern shows.
There was a rescue Rangers movie like 3 years ago
Counterpoint: No one remembers that.
Spin it let's begin it bear and grin it when you're in it, you can win it in a minute if you spin it spin it spin it!
Ah, yes, but did they do the full 3 minute version that most 80s and 90s Disney cartoon series had?
It’s only two minutes, but it still has two verses, the bridge, and the key change for the last chorus. I think they upped the tempo in the new version, so they burn through the song faster.
Scrooge is also voiced by David Tenant.
don't get me started on the voice cast. i have no good reason i haven't watched it yet
It’s worth a watch. Or at least a stint as background noise while coding.
Inspector Space Time and The Doctor have worked together.
Well, I can't be mad about that.
Its actually crazy wholesome. Harkens back to the idealistic ideas of the 'venture capitalist'. But in serious, its good.
I was struggling to remember the song and so clicked on your link. It's a surprise to realize it's the updated version. I was thinking for two minutes that I had a really terrible memory. Then I found the original and it's entirely familiar.
Well what about tiny toon adventures, then? Or the Gummies Bears?
Thunder, thunder, thundercats [blank]
Please fill in the blank, sir.
HooOOOO!
Here's your beer.
Hol up, did they mimic raising the sword up over their head? If not, you might want a second form of verification

In Australia🦘 we call this a takeysip.
No we don't, literally never heard of that.
I'm gonna believe the other guy because it's funnier that way.
Can't argue with that

Are you one of those 40 year olds that look like they are 15 or something?
Stop trying to pretend you're younger, spez
Sure buddy *winks*
Damn you Steeeeve Hufflepuff!

You're one of those 40 year olds who looks 38?
Yeah the IDs should be the same across the EU except for the background motive
Edit: nvm they're all over the place
The Cypriot looks like a police sketch.
Mr. Liechtenstein could use some sleep.
In Cypress is everything written in 3 alphabets?
Edit: two alphabets, 3 languages?
my favorite incident like this happened in utah. with mineral water.
i was buying perrier and the cashier at a walmart in utah must've thought it was liquor. probably had never sold alcohol because, y'know, the register tells you to check id. kept demanding to see my identification. I was amused. told her no. went back and forth a bit (including me telling her I wasn't buying anything that needed my ID) until we got her manager, who told her i was buying water and to stop being an idiot.
kind of angry at me for embarrassing her at work even though she embarrassed herself but needed someplace other than herself to place the blame?
I’d also accept “The Nations of the World” by Yakko Warner.
Singing that one from memory is quite a feat
Especially with all the countries that no longer exist!
That's how you know they're old.
Points at UK
"England"
He then also mentions Scotland separately.
Also the Gummy Bears theme.
Yeah but that one isn't hard.
Now crazy frog would be impressive.

Did you do the extra verse with the flight, or was it the usual version where he takes a cab from Philadelphia to Bel Air?
Just the TV version!
Duck tales has had a reboot that has the same theme tune. It's no longer a useful form of age verification.
Fine. Tale Spin it is or would you like the Super Mario Bros Super Show theme?

Racists ruined racist jokes, just like they did with national flags.
When I was a kid, no one gave a shit if you had a Confederate Flag because people associated it with barbeques more than the Civil War. If people saw it on your law, they just assumed you liked Dukes of Hazzard.

Still not convinced? How about the Animaniacs theme song??
I'd do the "The Nations of the World" but I put my back out last time.
I put my back out getting out of bed.
I can almost remember and it burns to not quite have it.

How did Ducktales get so many bangers associated with it in the 90s?
i don't know who worked on ducktales in particular but alan menken worked at disney and he wrote so many amazing songs. to be able to pop by his idunno, studio? office? whatever and ask for advice probably helped.
Hmm, how about the Samurai Pizza Cats or Fresh Prince theme?
Perhaps cheat codes for the original Doom, Duke Nukem 3D and StarCraft?
A Newgrounds username and password?
Recite the Konami code, how to use it in Contra, and what does it give you?
::: spoiler it gives you Bruises on the arm from a sibling for wasting all the extra lives. :::
What an ICQ number? Especially one that was only 6 digits. I'm so old and even ICQ is young.
Usernames? Who needs those? Just map users to a number. Done!

Free money code for SimCity 2000. Also, The Sims. I've got those on speed dial despite their complete uselessness today except to prove I played those games years ago.
I think the Fresh Prince theme has become enough of a meme that many younger people know it, too.
Gummy bears for me lol
Bouncing here and there and everywhere?
High adventures that's beyond compare!
They are the Gummy Bears!
Magic and mystery are part of their history
Along with the secret of gummyberry juice
The verse of the Gummy Bears theme tune is just the Soviet Union National Anthem speeded up. Same chord sequence.
If you put the Gummy Bears lyrics and the English translation of the Soviet Anthem next to each other, the two sets of lyrics are pretty much interchangeable.
Commie Bears.
Enjoy :)
Brilliant! Did you figure that out yourself?!
I think so, but it was a long time ago! I think I was trying to play the anthem on piano, and whilst working it out, suddenly thought "this is just the Gummy Bears theme tune slowed down".
With some more talent, confidence and free time, I would have attempted to produce a recorded version in the last decade or so - but I never did, so if anyone else can, please do so. It's probably worth quite a few "Internet points" :)
No? Ducktales not good enough? Okay, then what about ....
Heathcliff, Heathcliff, no one should terrorize their neighborhood. But Heathcliff just won't be undone, playing pranks on every one.
How about Adventures of the Gummi Bears.
Pfft, I would have given the cashier a menu:
Rescue Rangers
TMNT theme
Darkwing Duck
TaleSpin
......woo hoo?
This is the song that never ends.
… Fuck you.
If not, what about Darkwing Duck?
When there's trouble you call DW!

You do realize I'm legally not a woman in UK right?

I could do it!
my brain finds odd times to inject that theme song into my life
Humming the "Moon" theme from the Ducktails video game should also count
Even the stuff for alcohol can be excessive. I went to Chicago a while ago and they asked a man with greying hair for ID when he wanted to buy... like... dude, he was clearly over 21.
I think they literally have to swipe the ID every x number of purchases or something. Probably varies state by state though.
What if I draw a VGA cable?
