Wow, so this is the where Nardwuar's "Doot doola doot do..." comes from! I always wondered how it was so ubiquitous that even people unfamiliar with his interviews knew how to respond. Very interesting.
- kome 3y agoI was thinking the same!
- xxr 3y agoI’m interested in learning where you’re from—I’d assume outside of North America/Western Europe? I take familiarity with it so much for granted that it’s fascinating that someone’s familiarity with it comes from Narduwar.
- rsaz 3y agoI am from North America actually, I’m curious where your association with it comes from. I just spend a lot of time on youtube/listening to hip hop so have heard Nardwuar do it many times. I’m vaguely familiar with it otherwise too, but wouldn’t be able to place it anywhere.
- MBCook 3y agoI’m American. It was in the movie Roger Rabbit, which came out when I was 5 (40 now). And I know I knew it then. I assume I learned it from looney tunes or some other cartoon. But it was ubiquitous enough everyone knew it. To me it feels a little bit like asking how you know who Superman is. It’s just too engrained.
- nomilk 3y agoFor Nardwuar fans (and those who've never heard of him), this talk is amazing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26678512 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26678512 He is 100/100 for initiative. Surprisingly relevant to HN'er folks like ourselves.
- mathgorges 3y agoThank you so much for sharing this! I had never heard of this incredible human, and I feel so inspired now that I do. Serendipitous connections like this are what make HN so magical for me, so I thought my appreciation warranted more than just an upvote :D
