The dictionary defines "badger" as a burrowing, carnivorous, nocturnal mammal related to weasels and skunks…
It also says "to nag with requests". But the folks at www.badgerbadgerbadger.com don’t request a thing from you! They just want you to hear the song they made up. It’s so catchy, I can’t get it out of my head!

Noooooooo!
Actually, that is a liturgical dance interpretation of Genesis 3. (I’m bad…)
Tim, between your post and mine, it looks like there was a conspiracy of Jimmy’s guest bloggers to ruin everyone’s afternoon by getting songs stuck in their heads!
Come, on, let’s stay more topical. That site is so 2003.
“Well, we could build a giant badger…”
I suppose this wouldn’t be a bad time to mention “Bananaphone.”

I’ll understand if I’m banned from the blog for this. It’s far worse than the other two, IMO. At least I gave you a warning.
omigawd that was so silly…it made my day. Thank you so much for sharing that.
What, do they have something against “On Wisconsin”?
HILARIOUS! My 9 year old son just came home as it started playing (full blast)…he is begging me to put it back on…oh, well, here we go again!
God Bless.

(Slightly shifting the topic) Doesn’t the line, “We Don’t Need No Stinking Badgers!” come from the movie UHF?
In Jesu et Maria,
Very observant, Rosemarie! This tells me alot about you. You have not only watched Wierd Al’s tour-de-farce “UHF”, but have actually devoted precious brain cells to retaining useless bits of trivia related to it.
I doff my chapeau…
Let’s not lie to ourselves, UHF is probably the greatest movie ever. Though I may just be saying that because I’m a product of the public school systems.
OK, who’ll admit to owning UHF on DVD? Sometimes I’ll put the DVD in just to watch the “Beverly Hillbillies” Money for Nothing parody video.
Okay, you clowns. Who knows which movie the REAL line comes from? (And it isn’t exactly “We don’t need no stinking badges.” That’s one of those famous lines that was never quite said, like “Play it again, Sam” and “You dirty rat.”)

Attention, attention–Now hear this:
Tim Jones has just gotten a *lot* more time in Purgatory.
That is all.
Listened to that… sorry, I don’t think it can be called a “song.” Never want to hear it again.
[Still chuckling.]
This site has everything you’d ever want to know about “that line.”
That said… UHF is the best movie ever. (Yes, I have it on DVD.)

We only own the video. 🙂
My husband has a favorite quote from UHF:
“Where’d you find this guy?”
“I though you hired him.”
My favorite is: “It’s a sad, depressing story about a pathetic coyote, who spends every waking moment of his life in the futile pursuit of a saidistic roadrunner, who MOCKS him and LAUGHS at him as he’s repeatedly CRUSHED and MAIMED. HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!”
Though the “lesbian nazi hookers” line is funny too. Just too many great lines in that movie.
In Jesu et Maria,
I thought the line came from “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.”
Rosemarie,
This is my new mop. George, my friend, he gave me this mop. This is a good mop. It’s not as good as my first mop. I miss my first mop. But this is still a good mop.
Sometimes you have to take what life gives you. ‘Cause life is like a mop. Sometimes life gets full of dirt, crud, bugs and hairballs and stuff. You gotta clean it out. You gotta put it in here and rinse it off and start all over again. And sometimes, sometimes life sticks to the floor so bad, you know a mop… a mop, it’s not good enough. It’s not good enough! You gotta get down there, like, with a toothbrush, you know. You gotta really scrub. You gotta get it off, gotta really try and get it off. But if that doesn’t work, if that doesn’t work, you can’t give up! You gotta stand right up, you gotta run to a window and say, “HEY!!! THESE FLOORS ARE DIRTY AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!”
🙂
Oh no! I’m gonna have nightmares tonight…….
i want to see movie with the badgers dancing please
After too much research (I’m bored), the line is “Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges. I don’t have to show
you any stinking badges!” Why he remembers to use any in the last line is a mystery. If you are interested to hear the actual line from the movie, here is a link. aztlan.net/badges.htm
Can’t wait to see the dancing badgers…
