Duck tales has had a reboot that has the same theme tune. It's no longer a useful form of age verification.

......woo hoo?
Still not convinced? How about the Animaniacs theme song??
I'd do the "The Nations of the World" but I put my back out last time.
I put my back out getting out of bed.
I put your mom's back out getting into bed.
This doesn't work if you have ADHD:
Life is like a hurricane,
Here in, Duck-berg!
something something rhymes with cane,
It's a, duck-blur!
Let's solve a mystery,
or rewrite history!
Ducktales! Ooh oo
And that's all I've got.
Oh it's worse not only do I have ADHD, back when I was an edgy teenager a friend of mine made up a racist version that's insanely inappropiate and overly violent.
Now we weren't racist or anything, it was the early 2000's we were bored, we thought shock humor was funny, and we didn't think anyone would think we were racist. Trump hadn't normalized Nazism, so people just thought you were being ironic at best or they just didn't give a shit at worst.
But I think of his racist version when I think of Ducktales.
No I'm not going to recite the lyrics for you, are you insane? It's so bad I wouldn't post it if this were 4chan.
I had a similar experience with the devil went down to Georgia. One of the first mp3s I ever had was a parody version about cannabis. I don't know any of the lyrics to the original but I know that one by heart
JOHNNY ROLL A BALL OF HASH AND MAKE SURE ITS THE BOMB
CAUSE THE DEVILS GOT THE KIND OF STUFF THEY SMOKED IN VIETNAM
Every day I've been making!
Fuck! I was singing that song after reading the post and I sang that fucking line right before reading your comment and now I can’t remember that part of the fucking song!
The brain is fucking stupid.

They used the same song for the 2017 reboot, so that wouldn’t work. (Same lyrics, new recording.)
Can confirm. My kid’s watched the series over summer break and it’s been stuck in my head.
🎶🎵Duck Tales WOO HOO 🎶🎵

I tend to point at the grey in my beard, but they still ask.
Former Retail Worker Here: I got cussed out by a lot of senior citizens who thought I was fucking with them when I asked to see ID. I absolutely wasn't, the machine would not let me process a sale of alcohol unless I scanned in the ID. I didn't have a choice.
Moving to the UK I have not been carded once. I look young for nearly 40, if I say so myself. It's much more civilised.
So, in Ireland, you need to go to a so called Off License to purchase alcohol or ciggies (the latter you can purchase at a newsagent as well). Went to my local grocery shop which had its own Off License to buy some tobacco. New guy working there, apparently from Poland. He asked me for my ID. I gave him my ID from another EU country which is basically the size of a credit card. He would absolutely not believe me that this was my official ID - even though as far as I know, the Polish IDs are the same format. He insisted I'd have to provide him with a drivers license (which I never had in the first place) or to show him my passport (which I didn't own either since you don't need one travelling from one EU country to another). This went back and forth for about ten minutes until I asked to speak to the manager for the first time ever in my life. Manager popped by and I explained what was going on. The manager checked my ID card and told the new guy: 'Of course that's an official ID, you gobshite...'. It made me chuckle and off I went with my tobacco.
For those curious, the "off" means "off premises" (or something like that, they may use a different wording), so a license for a store that can sell alcohol that must be taken elsewhere to be consumed, i.e. a liquor store or package store. The inverse is an "On-License", a license to sell alcohol that may be consumed on premises, so things like bars, pubs, and restaurants.

Yeah the IDs should be the same across the EU except for the background motive
Edit: nvm they're all over the place

This is the song that never ends.
… Fuck you.
Me at 21 with a beard: No questions
Me at 34 with no beard: No questions . Damn, ouch.
I’d also accept “The Nations of the World” by Yakko Warner.
Singing that one from memory is quite a feat
Especially with all the countries that no longer exist!
That's how you know they're old.

Gummy bears for me lol
The verse of the Gummy Bears theme tune is just the Soviet Union National Anthem speeded up. Same chord sequence.
If you put the Gummy Bears lyrics and the English translation of the Soviet Anthem next to each other, the two sets of lyrics are pretty much interchangeable.
Commie Bears.
Enjoy :)
Brilliant! Did you figure that out yourself?!
I think so, but it was a long time ago! I think I was trying to play the anthem on piano, and whilst working it out, suddenly thought "this is just the Gummy Bears theme tune slowed down".
With some more talent, confidence and free time, I would have attempted to produce a recorded version in the last decade or so - but I never did, so if anyone else can, please do so. It's probably worth quite a few "Internet points" :)

James Bond jr?
If not, what about Darkwing Duck?
When there's trouble you call DW!
I can only do it in Finnish D:
I can do the whole Fresh Prince intro, though! Back in school in the early ‘00s my geo teacher jokingly said “extra credit to anyone who can recite the Fresh Prince intro in front of class” and I stood up and recited it. Got points on my next assignment for it. Thanks, early /b/.
