Skipper Dan by Weird Al

[WDW Insider]

Bump for the evening crew.

Interesting.

One of the lyrics was "paying his rent" by being a tour guide. That's probably better than being a starving actor.

Pretty cool.. Thanks for sharing...

My friend sent this to me on facebook. Terrific. I love Weird Al, and he hit the nail on the head for some of the skippers I know. Not naming any names.:lol:

I was hoping for more Jungle Cruise jokes, though. He could've thrown in a "12 inches to a whopping one feet" joke or a "they still have their trunks on" joke, but I still love it.

Well he based it off the Disneyland version, which doesn't have the butterflies, so no 12 inches joke.

Brilliant!

Can't wait to hear what our resident JC guides, er I mean skippers, think of it.

In a word:

We love it.

"Just think, kids - four years of college and you too can be a Jungle Cruise Skipper!" :ROFLOL:

Genius. Right upthere with Weasel Stomping Day.

Great! Thanks! It will live on and on with Disney fans!

Hilarious!!! The "back side of water" comment shows he's been there, done that.

 

[CastleBound]

haha I love it!!

 

[Tom Morrow]

Brilliant! He captured the life of many, many Cast Members...


...sadly.

 

[Captain Hank]

So incredibly true. So incredibly funny!

 

[Jasonflz]

:lol: That was the highlight of my day.

Very good song. I wonder what Disney thinks of the song as a company, considering that it makes fun of one of their classic rides... Luckily he was talking about the Disneyland version because the WDW version allows skippers to change the script a tad. I've been on it at least 3 times since I started the CP program and it has always been different.

Yes! I was waiting for some kind of reference to that...

One female MK skipper actually joked about her parents sending her to 4 years of drama school to do this. "They're so proud!" Only time I've ever heard that. Pretty funny.
