minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink91•edit-21 year agoSaying Aafrica twice messes with the pacing/delivery to me. Maybe it should just say “I blessed the rains.”
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink44•edit-21 year agoI know the song thanks. The point is everyone knows it, that’s why the joke lands. So saying “I blessed the rains” is enough that they’ll piece it together. Trust the audience a bit > saying Aafrica twice
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 year agotbf, I instinctually know Dunuh duh duh dunuh duh DUH, and the lyrics not as much.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•1 year agoi get what you mean. “Have you forgotten what happened down in Aafrika?” … “I blessed the rain” would have been a better punchline, but it’s still really good
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoYeah that’s all I’m saying lol it’d be stronger. Joke’s still funny of course
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•1 year agoOr change the set up “Have you forgotten what happened in Kenya?”

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 year agoSo by changing the set up to say Kenya, rather than Africa you obfuscate the punchline somewhat.
