For kicks, try switching the Gummi Bears lyrics with Гимн Сoветскoгo Сoюза (a.k.a. the Soviet National Anthem a.k.a. the Hockey Tune). It actually works. Both ways.
(We have an arrangement in our archive that mixes the two, for maximum effect and confusion)

Not really, that particular limmerick has been floating around allegro.cc for a while now. I know I have seen it here before. It's a joke. Laugh.

Its an old classic limerick. If you have a problem with it, you probably need to loosen up

I know it's a joke. Scary Movie makes it funny. A limerick only makes it creepy. :-/

I think it's you who was scarred by various things in your childhood if you think an innocent limerick that contains a few oh-god-no-please-don't-punish-me-I'll-wash-my-mouth-with-soap words is scary and creepy.

If I take the english lyrics(1977 version) from here it seems to work for the verses but the chorus doesn't seem to fit the melody of the Gummi Bears chorus(too many syllables I think). I'll try it anyway when I come back from work tonight.;D

Gahahah, that's hilarious. I never noticed that before. Though yes, the chorus doesn't seem to fit too well...

There are ways to make it fit all the way.

Other pairs we have discovered include Bamse <-> Катюша (Katyusha), Idas Sommarvisa <-> Прoщание славянки (Proshchanie Slavianki, "Slavic Woman's Farewell") <-> Tillbaka till Hawaii (partial fit), and Amazing Grace (!) <-> Священная Вoйна (Svyashchennaya Voyna, "The Sacred War").

(Hey, we should do a cover album! )

Uhm, you can fit any lyrics with any tune if you try really hard. Haven't you ever heard of Alanis Morissette?

Unfortunately, yes. Even worse, I haven't just heard of her, I've heard her.

I Hate My Job.
No I won't fix your computer. It's FILTHY.
I Hate My Job.
I don't know how to fix your damn camera/printer/scanner/ipod/television, I fix computers and that's it. BTW don't ask me questions about that crap either.
I Hate My Job.
You don't have the right to get mad at me for sending your broken stuff to HP and them taking 3 months to fix it
I Hate My Job.
3-5 day turn time does not mean you can call in three days and bitch for 2 more days until it's done. Though it does actually work since usually 3-5 days means a week if we remember your computer is here.
I Hate My Job.
If you call me on the phone and start yelling about... whatever... I won't hang up with you. I'll just not listen to a damn word you say until you come into the store. If you request a manager... I'll transfer you to some random department.
I Hate My Job.
If your the angry person on the phone and you did come into the store. I'll laugh inside as you say that you talked to some guy on the phone who just kept transfering you to other departments.
I Hate My Job.
If it were up to me, I'd tell you to buzz off when you feel you deserve a refund.
I Hate My Job.
I'm actually told to hold off on getting you a manager for as long as possible so you'll get angry or cool down to the point where you don't really remember what your problem was.
I Hate My Job.
If I saw you in the street and I was next to somebody, I'd tell them everything about your computer because for some reason, I remember.
I Hate My Job.
Yes.. We did find all your porn and you should be ashamed... We also moved some of it to somewhere your wife/parents would easily find it.

End

...How was it?

Quite good actually. I liked it.

On a side note, maybe its time for a new place of employment?

In this particular case, when I learned it, I didn't know what it meant.

My dad taught me:

I took her out, but she got away,
Yodelady yodelady yodeladyeee heeee
If you can't take her out, get the old lady heeee
Yodelady yodelady yodeladyeee heeee

when I was about 5 years old. I was 12 - 13 before I understood why the neighbors were upset about it.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

That's the worst thing you were taught at 5!? I hope this was like 80 years ago... ::)

You obviously have no idea how much the world has changed in just the last 25 years. You'd get whipped or caned for saying somehthing like that when I was at school.

Maybe I'll run that by my parents and see if that's true for Canada as well. Maybe just where you're from? ::) I seem to recall hearing way worse stories from my parents.

Need I point out that your parents views do not make a significant portion of anything (not that I'm saying mine, or Arthur's, do either)? When I was growing up, there were others who were far more significantly advanced in their sexual atitude than I was. It still doesn't make it the nom.

It has nothing to do with the sexual attitude or norm in the world. He appears to be from the US and without knowing where he was at the time I have to assume it was the US. So the question is whether or not it was actually acceptable for a 5 year old to learn that in the US or not. You seem to think that 25 years ago it would have been unacceptable and I disagree so I'm challenging it.

Hell, I'm 20 years old so some older cousins might fit into that bracket. I could also ask them what they learned at 5.

Yet you seem to forget that, in terms of sexuality, America is an old fogey.

Ha Ha. Not quite, though we have an Agent who is very emo looking.

It would work, but replace some of the "I Hate My Job" lines with, "I hate my life" and "please kill me" and "my girlfriend hates me"

Plus it should end with the guy symbolically slitting his wrists over a computer.
