Crazy Taff McViolent Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Word up Rudeboys and Rudegirls! Badness! Anyway, enough of the pleasantries and on with business! Firstly, hello fans, and I'm sorry for being away for so long. You can all relax now and remember just how much you all really like me. I'm not doing myself any favours here, am I? Anyway, lets focus on the subject at hand. I have the worlds most intensely serious question ever. And it goes a little something like this.... Personally, I think most of you lot are American. You know, in general. And you lot have probably guessed that I'm a stuck up little English oik. I drink tea and have a posh accent. Where is this all leading, I hear you cry. Well, although we speak the same language, there are certain things that get lost in translation. There are loads of examples, but I cant think of any. Ooh! Except one! Is it true that in America you have "Fanny bags"? Or fanny pouch? Or something like that? Here in Blighty, that is incredibly rude and funny. A "fanny" is a ladys you know what. We call them Bum bags, which isnt all that much better. ANYWAY, stop trying to distract me. I have heard a song which is called, and they sing it in the song... "LAFFY TAFFY". Do you know it? Good. Right, first things first. The River Taff runs through Wales somewhere. Here in Blighty people from Wales are nicknamed "Taffy". Taffy. - Welsh person. I am not actually from Wales but wish I was cos they're hilarious. Stupid but brilliant accents. Hence why I have included "Taff" in my namey thing. Which ultimately, leads me to my crowning glory. Is the song "Laffy Taffy" about a jovial welshman, or is there something more sinister to it, perhaps describing something entirely different to what we, here in Blighty, interpret it as? 1 Quote

LOL, I don't know about the song but there is a candy here called Laffy Taffy, my daughter loves it. From what I have seen it comes in every flavor imaginable. Fanny bag...I think you mean a fanny pack. Here a persons fanny is their ass or butt, a fanny pack fits on a belt around your waist, people let the bag part of it hang either to the front or back. Its not very big but its a hands free affair. If I remember correctly they started out being the kind of thing a jogger might wear but now you see all sorts of people with them.

Outlaw2747 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Speaking of a Laffy Taffy, there is a VERY ABOMINABLE rap song that does by that very same name. If you wanna know what it sounds like, just imagine a really stupid individual who records his voice saying the words Laffy Taffy, puts it on an old record player and breaking it thus repeating it over, and over, and over, and over... Gives me nightmares just thinking about it.

Gallytuck Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 I think that's the song he's referring to. I listen to BBC Radio 1 every waking moment when I'm at home so I hear it a lot. I hate it, but I know it. Quote
Outlaw2747 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Sorry, I didn't grasp his concept at first. But yes, I truly honestly hate that song. I never even heard the whole thing because it is so fucking horrible.

We need all the intelligent people to stay alive as long as possible. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHY?!?!?!?! That has got to be one of the most awful songs I have ever heard. I almost gave myself an aneurysm listening to that garbage. Now I must listen to some Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly to make myself right again.

Outlaw2747 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 See? SEE!?! Oh man, you are lucky you have survived that. I'll tell ya, I would rather listen to Aqua's Barbie Girl or The Numa Numa Dance (Dragostea Din Tei) than that wanna be broken record of a song. At least they have a damn awesome beat to it!

Outlaw2747 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 That song SUCKS. And I almost liked them, too. That song ruined it for me. Agreed. I see we have a similiar distaste in music. Oh and that grill song sucks ass too. I find it distubing the teens and our generation actually LIKE this shit. Man I love me the od school stuff back in the 80s and 90s when I was just out of the womb and whatnot. Hell I like all those 70 soul type music from guys like Earth Wind n Fire and real love songs such as the likes of Boyz 2 Men and Luther Vandross. I mean hell those were songs you could actually woo a woman with (I tried it and it works!). But this shit? They can have it. I don't even listen to the radio anymore!

We have a great classic rock station out of Springfield MA. The best morning show ever. We have one good rock station, and once in a while, I catch myself listening to the country station. I listen to the radio mostly in the car since I don't have my CD player installed yet (hopefully very very soon). But I tend to listen to almost all music-rap, classical, jazz, rock, country, punk/irish folk type stuff. Ooh and some good 'spic music. Gotta love Elvis Crespo and Celia Cruz. The shit that teens consider "music" these days is sad. I have a cousin who is 14, and she listens to all that garbage. It's depressing. I know teens are generally dumb but I don't remember listening to garbage when I was that age. I've always had good taste in music (in my opinion at least). Even at that age I was listening to the 'classics' (Floyd, Skynyrd, etc) Quote http://www.darwinawards.com/ http://www.snopes.com http://www.breakthechain.org STOP THE SPAM!!

Gallytuck Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Speaking of '80's shit you should check out Iron and Wine's cover of The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights". Mellow. For you clubbers, Robbie Rivera's "Your Mistake". Quote

Skaterdude409 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 I HATE RAP. Nothing but rock for me and not that pussy shit that they typicaly play on the radio(they do occasionaly play good stuff though) Quote
Gallytuck Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 We have satellite radio at work. Same station. ALL the time. They throw a new song into the lineup here and there. But you can almost set your watch to it. It just struck me, I haven't heard a John Mayer song for at least a week. Wow. Progress. For the last year I've been guaranteed at least three of his songs every day. Right now it's a lot of Madonna's new stuff. Which isn't half bad if you're into electronic music. They play a lot of BEP and Rob Thomas as well. Oh, and that fag Whatshisnuts Degraw. Ya know, that bastard who sings that "I don't wanna run away, I can't help it I don't understand" song where he hits the nut-shrivelling high notes. Quote
jokersarewild Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Listening to Laffy Taffy is like cutting yourself with the English Language... Quote RoyalOrleans is my real dad!
Crazy Taff McViolent Posted March 31, 2006 Author Posted March 31, 2006 Right you lot. What the hell is going on here? Firstly, 80's rock. A-ha, Take on me? Huey Lewis and the News, The Power of Love? Thats right, off Back to the Future. That Simple Minds song off The Breakfast Club? Good. I'm glad you all agree and I hope I've proved my point. Thirdly, I am still none the wiser as to what a "Taffy" is. Thank you for the candy answer though, I would never have thought of that one! I'm sure that in everybodys favourite song (you know you all love it secretly), the genius lyrics say something along the lines of "Shake that Laffy Taffy" in the style of an arse. That is to say they are referring to a "Taffy" as some sort of booty. So, to sum up, in America, is a "Taffy" an arse? And not someone from Wales, as it means in Blighty? Quote
