Just one more week. Seven days. (Well, technically, six and a half.)
To help make the waiting less excruciating, I will be posting videos of the worst cover versions of “The Final Countdown” I can find, one a day, until the big day. I don’t care if you’ve seen these before. I’m still going to post them.
Plus bonus videos. Today’s bonus video involves bear simulation.
According to our awful newspapers Hillary’s collapsed in the polls and the Orange one is poised on the brink of world domination. Is this true? I need to know if I have to start stocking up the bunker with cans of beans and loo roll.
(also apparently we are at war with Russia)
This election can’t happen soon enough! I voted (for Hillary!!!!!) But I’m constantly terrified about her opponents.
I wish it was over already. 🙁
My eyes read that as bear stimulation and I was O.o
I cannot wait for this election to be over.
Edit: my ears are bleeding. Thanks, David.
OMG THE EARWORM IT WILL DESTROY ME
Yeah, I’m kind of freaking out here…. I really can’t handle a Trump presidency.
It’s amusing to me that our territorial election up here in Yukon is on Nov 7. Counting down to that as well. 🙂 Hopefully it’s ‘good-bye, Yukon Party!’
@David Are we allowed to post our own video ‘rebuttals’? 😉 Maybe not so much ‘bad’ as ‘weird’?
C’mon, son. Learn to hold a tune before ya set up the concert. Or at least don’t do Final Countdown. Gotta work up to that one…
@varalys
Nah, her polls haven’t collapsed. They’ve been pretty steady. Trump’s are rising tho. This could be him gaining undecideds or hedging (pollsters manipulating things to make it seem close) or who knows. If Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania all get called for Clinton, she still wins. He’ll need some massive unforeseen weirdness to beat her
Also, “loo roll”? Took me a sec to get that. That’s funny ?
@Axecalibur: OK that’s good to hear, you have to remember our papers and nasty, spiteful, range from abit rightwing to extremely rightwing and have headlines that are basicaly clickbait. Still I was getting concerned.
Also did I make an accidental joke with the words “loo roll?” I was just being charmingly colloquial 😀
Also I have no sound abilities (still) on my PC, who’s doing the cover version?
I’m not from the US but i have never before wanted to vote there as badly as i do now. It really feels like everything is coming to a head. Whoever wins and whoever loses, it feels like it will be overwhelmingly important.
Is it okay if i post good covers?
re: loo rolls…
I’ve never eaten loo rolls, are they good? 🙂
@varalys
Nah, no joke. Just charmingly, humorously colloquial 🙂
Also, ‘loo roll’ kinda sounds like Lou Rawls:

So that’s fun!
The National Enquirer has apparently run a story about how Hillary’s “hitman” had ruined other people under her command.
The headline they ran before that was about how Trump finally released his tax returns, and, miraculously, they were somehow granted exclusive access to them.
I had a bit of a chuckle and an eyeroll at their expense.
Varalys: I wouldn’t put much stock in a single poll. Ultimately, only one poll matters.
I’m rather confident. From a demographic perspective, the numbers are not on Trump’s side.
After years and years of listening to this song and thinking it was about nuclear war, I only found out recently that it’s actually about a trip to Venus. Which seems profoundly weird to me.
@Tulse
Yes, and the lyrics make no sense. You don’t go “light-years” to get to Venus. Not even at its farthest point from Earth is Venus even 15 light-minutes away.
And I have this song stuck in my head now and it won’t get out. THANKS OBAMA
Well, a fire and brimstone preacher visited the campus today. He said I was an abomination, and a hellbound sinner. I told him, “Okay. See ya there.”
He also told me to be “normal” (ostensibly as opposed to pansexual). I asked if “normal” was like him. He said yes. So I asked whether I should grow a beard, get a suit on…
He also said I should be submissive and find myself a man. And, well….I spammed the Ws and the H.
Speaking of seven days:

The lyrics don’t quite fit the situation but it is the right number of days.
Kevin Rowland really liked putting his bandmates in matching outfits.

… yeah
@Axecalibur: I was going to be unladylike and write “bog paper” instead, but I could hear my mum tutting from 30 miles away for being uncouth. Also the fact there exists someone call “Lou Rawls” has made me lol, thanks!
I just realised, “Seven Days” is what Sadako/Samara says when she starts counting down your death. :O *surretitiously takes phone off hook*
varalys: it wasn’t just you.
Seriously this is getting annoying with how some of the new polls are now deciding to hedge themselves to ridiculous levels.
And the newsrags aren’t exactly being cooperative in interpreting the polls.
Weird? Fun? Final Countdown?
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you
The Kazookeylele
Seriously, watch this. It’s amazing. If it doesn’t make you smile, nothing will.
That cover made my ears bleed!
The singer couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.
Have some Erasure doing ABBA:

Just wanted to say I love Richard Cheese.
Also, I love that Erasure vid. But I love Erasure, so…
