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.

Ok what about Darkwing Duck or TaleSpin?

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

Ah, yes, but did they do the full 3 minute version that most 80s and 90s Disney cartoon series had?

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

So, in Ireland, you need to go to a so called Off License to purchase alcohol or ciggies (the latter you can purchase at a newsagent as well). Went to my local grocery shop which had its own Off License to buy some tobacco. New guy working there, apparently from Poland. He asked me for my ID. I gave him my ID from another EU country which is basically the size of a credit card. He would absolutely not believe me that this was my official ID - even though as far as I know, the Polish IDs are the same format. He insisted I'd have to provide him with a drivers license (which I never had in the first place) or to show him my passport (which I didn't own either since you don't need one travelling from one EU country to another). This went back and forth for about ten minutes until I asked to speak to the manager for the first time ever in my life. Manager popped by and I explained what was going on. The manager checked my ID card and told the new guy: 'Of course that's an official ID, you gobshite...'. It made me chuckle and off I went with my tobacco.

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 can only do it in Finnish D:

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/.

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?

Duck tales has had a reboot that has the same theme tune. It's no longer a useful form of age verification.

This doesn't work if you have ADHD:

Ducktales! Ooh oo

And that's all I've got.

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?

What an ICQ number? Especially one that was only 6 digits. I'm so old and even ICQ is young.
