== RKOL Sighting ==

Recently, I heard on an internet radio (radio KoL, from the website www.kingdomofloathing.com) a song called "Strong Bad vs Rammstein: The System is Du" that was taken off of this email. I don't know if this is a real song, or something an anonymous band put together, so I'm putting it here for input. -[[User:flatluigi|flatluigi]] 14:26, 10 Dec 2004 (MST)

RKOL sighting confirmed: it's in the Google cache for the KoL radio front page.  Full song title is "Strong Bad vs Ramstein - The System is Du (DJ Defekt mix)"  The name of the radio show (and it assumedly includes deejay handles) was "EyeSpeculum & duckyfresh's Assault on All That's Decent" -Anonymoz 17:04, 08 Aug 2005

-Just to let you folk know, they play that song a lot. Most DJs will play it every night, if they can, when the system goes down to "rollover." -A radio KoL fan, Barnaby36, 18 Oct 2005

-A note- this is because "Rollover" is the time when the whole website is taken down each night for maitenance.  Thus the playage (is that a word?) of "The System is Du"

-The first DJ to play this song on Radio KoL was Fusilliban.  It is one of the most requested songs on Radio KoL, both in regards to requests for the DJs to play it, and requests for a copy of the file from the DJs. -Haplo, Radio KoL DJ, 06 April 2006

*I've been looking for a copy of this remix for a long time.  I found DJ Defekt's website but couldn't find any additional information on where to acquire it.  Perhaps I will ask one of the Radio KoL DJs, but if anyone knows a source to acquire this, either through free download or purchase, please let me know! --LucySpace, 07 July 2006

== Removal of external link ==

* A DJ named "[http://www.djchrisle.com/ DJ Chris Le]" created a rave remix of Strong Bad's techno song which can be downloaded at his site.
I removed this from the fun fact listing.  We don't like to link to people like that in articles.  (Meaning, we pretty much don't link to anyone like that in articles.)[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Closed STUFF ==
===Silent J===
Strong Bad might have said "Oh very clever" after reading the name Silent J because it could be a reference to Jay and Silent Bob, a pair of recurring characters from [[Wikipedia:Kevin Smith|Kevin Smith's]] movies. It also may be clever because it's referring to the concept of a silent letter (for example, one would say "the word 'jalapeno' has a silent J"), and making reference to Silent Bob at the same time.

*'''Decline.''' I think the Silent Bob connection is a real stretch. The silent letter connection is much more reasonable. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 25 Mar 2005
*'''Revise.''' Funny, I think it's the other way around. It never occurred to me that "Silent J" would be anything but a play on "Jay and Silent Bob," but maybe that's my pop-culture-saturated brain. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 10:01, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' The latter part doesn't work but the Silent Bob connection does. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:42, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' The 'Jay and Silent Bob' part is right on.  The 'Jalepe&ntilde;o' part is wrong.[[User:Theving|Theving]]
**'''Comment.''' My brain is pretty saturated with pop-culture, too! However, it's from a time when Disco ruled and dinosaurs walked the earth (25 Mar 2005)! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 
**'''Second''' Jalepe&ntilde;o is the stretch; Silent Bob is the obviously correct one. And I haven't even watched J&SB! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:52, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' I had thought he meant the fact that "Silent J" would mean he shouldn't actually say anything at all, so he was sort of duped, and he was mockingly calling him clever. I don't know. [[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 22:48, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
** Ummm...no.Thats more of a stretch than the "jalepeno" part of the fact. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
** I think this is what is meant as well.  After reading an e-mail, Strong Bad almost always starts his response with "Well, [insert name]", or "......, eh [insert name]?"  Since the writer is calling himself Silent J, Strong Bad is at a loss to use his name in his reply.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 21:38, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' FWIW, "jalape&ntilde;o" does <EM>not</EM> in fact have a silent J.  The j is pronounced like an h, but it's certainly not silent. - [[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 09:25, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise''' - but the only revision this needs is to remove the uncertainty, because it's clearly a reference to Jay and Silent Bob.
*'''Second''' - I immediately thought of Jay and Silent Bob. -[[User: Miss Free Country USA| Miss Free Country USA]]
*'''Accept''' - I think the person who posted this fact was right. Whenever I see the name Silent J, it makes me think of Jay and Silent Bob, and I think TBC were also thinking of that. -[[User: Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]]
*it is a reference to Jay and Silent Bob.
*I know that the horse is long-since dead.  But while the J isn't particularly silent in "jalape&ntilde;o", it is much more silent in "marajuana".  That's always seemed to me to be the sort of thing that SB would think was eye-rollingly clever, while the J&SB thing really doesn't strike me in that fashion at all.

**Ever heard "marijuana" spoken by a speaker of Spanish? /ma-ri-hooa-na/ {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
**In Spanish, a J or a soft G sounds like an H. Ironically, an H in Spanish is always silent. For the record, RR is always trilled, LL sounds like a Y, and ñ is always like Ny. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 19:42, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

== Old movie quote ==

Anybody know what old movie "The system is down," is from? I just watched this email for the umpteen-million<sup>th</sup> time, and that really started bugging me. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 03:58, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's from any movie, or else it would probably either be a) known by me, since I am a sci-fi addict, or b) already listed in Real-World References. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:23, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

== Dooda Dooda Diddle? ==
It sounds more like "HOOKA LOOKA PIG DIDDLE" to me. {{User:Salty/sig}} 02:59, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
:In this sort of thing, it's near impossible to say how it sounds, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
