Hey Sarah Sarah

Posted by otterman on 22 February 2008

I have a student who says she likes old songs. So I played her a Doris Day song. She brightened up when she heard the song, and said she and her friends used to sing this to one girl, just to drive her nuts.

The name of the girl? Sarah - they sang “Hey Sarah, Sarah”.

The name of the song? “Que Sera Sera“.

This reminded me of a Lat cartoon which had a kid howling a tune next to a jukebox, “Oh Carol, I am bloody fool!”

Sigh.

This pool owner decided she had better acclimatise to the pool in case they fall in accidentally.

Turns out they took to it like ducks to water.

Tommy Lee Jones is an alien in Japan

Posted by otterman on 8 February 2008

It’s just a coffee ad, but there are ten of them! He takes on various jobs in Japan and always ends drinking the cofffee. It’s all in Japanese but strangely amusing. Hat tip to Alvin.

Japan Probe has YouTube embeds the lot except for the 10th clip.

Wait a minute, there is a no. 11.
