Since we’re bringing back the classics.
Transcript: Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom…
Badger Badger Badger is a Flash animation video created by Jonti Picking (TheWeebl) released on Newgrounds on September 1st, 2003. The video consists of images of dancing badgers over an electronic song while a voice repeats the word “badger” for three measures and changes “mushroom” in the fourth. After about three loops of badgers and mushrooms a mini-chorus about a snake plays as an animated snakes crawl across a desert, and the animation loops once again.
Boy I watch this one a lot. The first time I watched it, I was convinced that there is a secret Easter egg or something and I probably washed it for 15 minutes before I realized it was on a loop.
This time it won’t be a snake or a mushroom, this time it won’t be a snake or a mushroom…
Pfft, looped that thing for hours. After a time my brain just began conjuring other sounds out of it.
I’m that case, you may be interested in a related phenomenon called semantic satiation .
Our brains are fascinating.
But sometimes only to me.
We’re nearly at bedrock here!
I just showed this classic to my kids!
Likewise. And still hearing the refrain 15 minutes later 😁

Was just singing Crabs by weebl at work today. Hope they’re doing fine.
I seem to recall hearing that the Ubuntu team did a dance/singalong with this song when Breezy Badger came out
