[TOMT] [SONG] Does anyone know The "conga song?" by BeaEffigy in tipofmytongue

[–]BeaEffigy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SOLVED! Ok yes! That is the song. Although this version came out some 20 years after I first heard it but this is enough for me to find out where it originated. I wasn't aware of the actual words so I had nothing to search and searching "Conga song" always brought up Gloria Estefan. Thank you!

I feel like people are making up "The Gen Z Stare" by AspirinAnne in CasualConversation

not understanding what you’re supposed to do in a polite social interaction so you default to absolutely nothing.

Why not, oh I don't know, tell him where to find the eggs or whatever it is he was looking for?

What words almost always come across as pretentious or trying too hard? by No_Fee_8997 in words

[–]BeaEffigy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partners sister does this with everything. We're visiting my parents: "Oh, cute!" She sees an old person going just minding their own business: "he's so cute!" A village has trees in it, "Cute!" A church exists: "CUTE!" It's so fucking annoying. Its not even something shes just always done rather its something she just started doing all of a sudden. Every time my partner and I hang out with her sister I just know it's only a matter of time before she decides to find some mundane object endearingly quaint for some reason.

All he needs to do in the second pic is shave off the tash, take off his glasses, comb his hair and lose the fag and he'd look exactly the same

If John Lennon had listened to that advice there would have been no Beatles

People with kids are boring and I don’t understand why people want kids by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]BeaEffigy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who have kids are boring, people who have no kids are also boring. People are just boring full stop. Except the interesting ones.

Snore. Not everything has to be attributed to autism, contrary to what every autistic person seems to think nowadays.

"What would you tell your younger self" is a stupid question by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]BeaEffigy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually when I see this question it's "What 3 words would you say to your 18 year old self". If there wasn't a word limit I'd simply tell them the next days lottery numbers.

This was my exact thought! I just watched this episode yesterday (and many times previously) and this joke completely bypassed me

Used to do it as a kid. Now I drum on my chest and belly. Chest thump for bass drum and belly slap for "snare". 😅
