Wow, so this is the where Nardwuar's "Doot doola doot do..." comes from! I always wondered how it was so ubiquitous that even people unfamiliar with his interviews knew how to respond. Very interesting.

For Nardwuar fans (and those who've never heard of him), this talk is amazing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26678512

He is 100/100 for initiative. Surprisingly relevant to HN'er folks like ourselves.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I had never heard of this incredible human, and I feel so inspired now that I do.

Serendipitous connections like this are what make HN so magical for me, so I thought my appreciation warranted more than just an upvote :D

I’m interested in learning where you’re from—I’d assume outside of North America/Western Europe? I take familiarity with it so much for granted that it’s fascinating that someone’s familiarity with it comes from Narduwar.

I am from North America actually, I’m curious where your association with it comes from. I just spend a lot of time on youtube/listening to hip hop so have heard Nardwuar do it many times. I’m vaguely familiar with it otherwise too, but wouldn’t be able to place it anywhere.

I’m American.

It was in the movie Roger Rabbit, which came out when I was 5 (40 now). And I know I knew it then.

I assume I learned it from looney tunes or some other cartoon. But it was ubiquitous enough everyone knew it. To me it feels a little bit like asking how you know who Superman is. It’s just too engrained.

I was thinking the same!
