According to Alsongs.com , the lyric you're looking for is, "Uh, uh, loggin' in now." Alsongs.com has made mistakes before, but that lyric makes sense in the context of the song.
I hear "downloadin' now." Another trip to Misheard Lyrics?

I was watching Bedrock Anthem last night, all the way through for the first time in a long while (I think I've been hitting the skip button on that one because I REALLY don't like Al's cosmetic dentistry). I can't BELIEVE I had forgotten about the slow intro part where Al's standing there in his close-up, bare-torso'd glory. That will make up for a lot of cosmetic dentistry. But that's hardly subtle. Anyway...

I'd never noticed the "Kick Me" sign before, or the fact that one of the silhouetted guys jumping around at the end has a jump rope and a set of Mickey Mouse ears on. And watching Bermuda's bits was fun too.

And in the Spy Hard video, when the third fat lady swims by, I'd never noticed that trail of bubbles before... :blush:
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Yeah, BA is one of the videos that it's good to watch in slow motion. There are several gags happening simultaneously in almost ever shot! BTW, Bermuda IS the one jumping around with the Mickey Mouse ears. You can tell because at one point you can see him pantomiming (sp?) playing the drums. That, IMO, is Bermuda's personal best video! He's great throughout the whole thing!

I noticed this the other day... on the Surgeon's tray in LAS, there are some crayons and a bunch of other silly stuff.

Yes, in fact one of my favorite toys of all time is on that surgeons tray -- a whee-lo! When I was 5 they gave me hours of fun. Mine had decals you could put on the wheel part.

There's also a wheel-o in the Bedrock Anthem video.

I saw that, but couldn't think of what it was called. I didn't have one... So it just spins around? :unsure: That's um... cool... I guess...

Well ya, when you're 5. It was easier to use than a yo-yo.

I finally snagged a copy of the ultimate video collection.....and the sight gags just go on and on, but a couple things I love are

a map of the operation man in LAS
the map that says you are here in LAS
when the guy was signing the book, Ouch My Butt, in Headline News, he sprayed it with spraypaint!!


this is my first viewing of most of these videos, and I'm still soaking it all in!

I love watching the guys in the background on Fat. They are pretty funny.
