WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

The Truth About Anna (again)

Posted about 1 year ago

Many of you Moggers will remember my now award nominated post, about how Anna was, and is, actually a bot. But I most apologise sincerely for not following up every available line of enquiry, until now.

You see it turns out she is not just a bot:

"In the Dutch Top 40 in the Netherlands, a spoof of the song has peaked at #6 in weeks 38 and 39 of 2006. It is also called "Boten Anna" and it is by De Gebroeders Ko, who also made other Dutch versions of known songs like "Dragostea din Tei". Although they knew the original song wasn't about a boat, they translated it as if it were (one called Anna). "Boten" is the plural form of "boat" in Dutch. In November another spoof of the song, again by De Gebroeders Ko, charted the Dutch Top 40. In week 47 the song called "Sinterklaas Boot (Boten Anna)" charted in the Dutch Top 40 and peaked at #7. This version of "Boten Anna" is about the boat of Sinterklaas. An Israeli band called Chovevei Tzion (חובבי ציון) spoofed "Boten Anna" with their popular single, "Rotze Banot" (רוצה בנות, meaning "I Want Girls"), which was extensively spoofed in turn.[2] Also the polish group Cliver made a version called "Za oknem deszcz" (engl. "Behind the window is the rain"). A German version of the song was released by Kid Bob, titled 'Die Dicke Anna' (The Fat Anna). The lyrics to this version are about a fat girl sitting in a boat. In Denmark the song was later made as a parody. The song was called "Hoen Anna" which means "Anna the whore". The Swedish lyrics are misheard and in that way it becomes Danish."

So, may I present the full evidence for the prosecution:

Sinterklas Boten (complete with racially offensive backing dancers)

Die Dicke Anna

Anna the Whore

Za oknem deszcz

Rotze Banot

And most incriminating of all Anna the Boat:

A reward of 10,000 songs has been posted for the capture of this fugitive, dead, alive sunk or deprogrammed.

    Blackfaced minstrels.  Check.

    Robocop playing a bass drum on the beach.  Check.

    Anime all girls school secretly attended by slutty superheroes.  Check.

    Nerdy kids lip synching behind home made Dragon Ball Z pictures. Check.

    Trippy Israeli dance variety hour. check

    Finding out that Anna is a robot that transforms into a very nice and new and shiny boat that costs a lot that helps De Gebroders get ladies to party with them.  Priceless.

    The first video with the Santa captain?

    The second one with Robocop banging a drum?

    Anna The Whore with the girly cartoons?

    The Polish 'group'?

    Anna The Boat "and all the ladies will be partying with me"?

    I think I'm about to give myself a stroke from laughing too hard.

    THIS SONG IS IMMORTAL.

    Mew Mew Power!!!

    Anna: If you tell us that your favorite film is "Das Boot," this will all make a lot more sense. (As soon as I saw Robocop on drums, I knew that the truth was out! Anna really is a robot, and she's dating Robocop!)

    Kevin, let's just say that there's a lot of kling klang involved.

    Mikey, since my only other option is to be a fat whore on a boat or something, yeah, robot it is.....

    Francois, the one who wrote that book owes me money as an advisor!

    poe ahahahahahah

    Isn't Princess Diana of Porn the WORST porn star name you've ever heard!

    Neill ahahahahahhahha "wiil something kill the baby up at the spa, if there's anything wrong, then she'll nuke us! 'Cause we ordered navy lotion", a jihad mention and the explanation of what a shea is. I have no words.....Best surreal lyrics. Ever. I think that 1 or 2 guys gathered, drank their arses off, and wrote what they thought they were hearing.

    Sorry for hijacking the post, Joxy. If you have a problem with that, let me know, so that I can ban you hard.
