I like the first tune, it is stimulating. I can visualize it all day.
The second tune reminds me of the start of children's programs these days which makes me so bored I feel like going off to sleep. To me it is awful apart from some of the samples without the voices. As well as appealing to cultures I wouldn't feel any different watching that second one at the correct age.

Unlike you, Chefelf, I do mean offense to the Wiggles. The Wiggles are big fat poopy-heads.

Let's not forget, they make good old Aussie blokes like Yahtz look like a bunch of prissy fools who run around with dinosaurs and pirates...

Actually, I thought the delirious pirate was one of the highlights of the song. That and the edifying comments about eating fruit salad.

Although none of them except for maybe the guy in the red shirt really look like they belong in a children's show. They look like they should be train conductors or something.

I mean the graphics, layout and tune.
Anyway I get bored very easily.

Well, red shirts do figure prominently on Star Trek, so...

[Deepsycher]

Star Trek makes me bored too.

Joke:

"I could choose to become stupid and perform something similar in the second tune but I am afraid I'll fall asleep in the process!"

"What the hell are you talking about? The point is this, you ARE stupid."

"Then that would make me extra stupider."

"No dumb, you idiot."


I hear tunes very similar to that second one on children's programs or at the start and it appears to be so dilute compared to my younger days.

Well, I'm afraid that's nostalgia for you...

Children are so overprotected these days.

Kids enjoy being scared and challanged. the kids of today are growing up into retards.

[Deepsycher]

Yes I find it really stupid when a lot of parents have an obsession with sending their children to bed at eight. These parents I am talking about confuse it as protection but when the children can't or refuse go to sleep at the number eight they physically abuse them as I saw on some internet sites. I hate the number eight because so many parents I see openly boast about how well their children go to bed at eight, their uniforms all add up to protection in school as remembered. They nearly poisoned mine with that rubbish and told them to get books or what I call "manuals" that looked upon children as mechanical objects you can just manipulate without reasoning. According to this manual children all think and behave the same. It is like psychology written out in limited and restricted ways on what they "are really asking for" by someone else's assumptions or opinions but the reasoning behind every one I saw was flawed. I think it is working against. Absolutely degrading.

There should be better things to do than to quarrel managing people over bedtimes for the sake of it. Then there are these silly television nannies where you have:

The bossy know it all nanny
Authority
The parents
The children

This is where they work against the children and put them from neutral respect to doing as you are told. What they didn't realize (the first and last time I watched it) is that it was the food that made them hyperactive as clearly shown from the change in the behaviour after they ate on the table. Cheap packet foods. Nope silly nanny thinks that a strict bit authority would solve the problem by frightening them.

Maybe that could be an adventure for them to grow up into retards for anything that don't frighten them.

Just my experience. In my living and childhood space authority and uniforms ruined it all.

Is your childhood really better than my childhood, Chefelf? We had more than two channels, you know.

[barend]

Your childhood is better than mine, damn right it's better than mine, you could teach me, but you'd have to charge?

Yahtzee's a Brit.

I agree, my generation, i.e late 70´s onwards, had a much better childhood than lets say my parents. Who you know, weren´t allowed to hear the Beatles or Elvis because they gyrated there buttocks. Kids today, are a bunch of spoiled brats. They got to see Britney Spears gyrate her butt.....which.. come to think of it is pretty lame if you saw the VMA awards...which I didn´t

My parents made me go to bed at 9:00, to get back at them, I´d shout from my room asking for glasses of water every 10 mins. Drove my dad nuts.
