I've always wanted to know why Billie chose the song title Do Do Da? Anyone have any ideas why? :o

i feel like "sassafras roots" is slang for weed

I dunno, but all I know that it was supposed to be called stuck with me, but that and the original do do da got mixed up, so the names got swapped around.

Or something like that, anyway.

Also, 409 In Your Coffeemaker. What's 409?

It's a cleaning product. Stuffs amazing :wub: I use it all the time!

It's because the beginning riff sounds like Do Da Da.

I'm assuming.

Yeah, Do Da Da was originally meant to be called Stuck With Me apparently, but then it changed and it's a B side on the Brain Stew/Jaded single.

I always knew about Armatage Shanks...I remember taking a picture of my toilet during my foolish days.

But I thought Bab's Uvula Who was named after Tre randomly choosing a song title. Didn't know about the sketch thing.

There's a street called Longview in a neighboring town and I always drive down it when I'm there :D

I love that Platypus is called... Platypus. Nothing at all to do with the song.

Posted
This might just be me being stupid, but what does longview mean? I take it it's not a real word...

Also, 409 In Your Coffeemaker. What's 409?

I think I heard somewhere that it's some kind of laxative, and it was referring to a prank played on a teacher, which would make sense. Anyone know if this is true?

It's a cleaning agent as said before but my guess is that it would kill the teacher if she/he drank a cup full of it!

Ah right.

I guess it never actually happened then. Unless GD has some dark teacher-killing past we don't know about...

Ha, this is a great thread! I was wondering what some of the titles meant as well :)

i always wonder, why Poprocks & Coke calls Poprocks & Coke .. :blink: does anybody know?

Posted

When you mix poprocks and coke, they're supposed to explode.

I'm sure that has nothing to do with the song itself...

Just Billie naming a song with whatever entered his mind, probably..

Posted

Wow.

My aunt's brother went to Europe and took a picture of the toliet :lol: And I thought it was appropriate for this thread

^^Yup they're in just about every public toilet over here :)

Tbf though I always smirk still to this day whenever I see it :D

Posted
:lol: I've never seen it! I figured some other American brats have never seen it either so I thought I would share
Posted

Well, I live in The Netherlands, and I've never seen it! Lol :lol:

Posted

Well it's a British Company and they've been around since the mid 19th Century :)

*bit of history there for ya folks* :blink:

:D

Off topic, but whenever I see the words "Eminius Sleepus", it reminds me of something I'd hear in Harry Potter.

:lol:

Every single time I see it, I think of Armatage Shanks :P

Same here. Like you should just be waving a wand around and chanting it.
