The Biking Viking (Song)
SlackerDan the Internet Slacker
Nov 5, 2023

Well I’m a Viking
And I go biking
It’s to my liking
It’s quite striking
When people see me
They want to be me
’Cause I’m a Viking
And I like biking!

You say try hiking
Or maybe climbing
Do some hang-gliding
Try my hand at sniping
All the girls tell me
They want to bike with me
’Cause I’m a Viking
And I like biking!

(Chorus)
Mighty Thor’s lightning!
From the skies its striking!
There’s a Bigfoot sighting!
Now it’s time to go biking!
Set sail on the ocean blue,
Ride our bikes with a shark or two.
Give a lift to a big dolphin!
Biking Viking will always win!

I do swole lifting,
Arnold’s my King,
And I get psyching
With the weights I’m pumping,
But don’t try telling me,
It’s my only glee
’Cause I’m a Viking
And I like biking!

From a mid European aliens view. Isn‘t it even worse than what Zimmerchiller summarized while fighting dehydration in the french sun?

Isn‘t para and sol Spanish, „For the sun“?! Si claro! Zimmerchiller, keep up fighting dehydation!

Whereas pluie is rain en francais? But ins“t it „pleut“ and parapluie should be wrong and it should read parapleut. Even to me that sounds less elegant. Well done France, not only because in Cologne it is locally called Paraplue, thanks to Napoleon and the french occupation here.

BTW the most famous Regenschirm in Germany is the Knirps. A foldable parabrella, a Knirps = tiny boy. Like Tempos.

But even after having lost a gallon of sweat (no A/C) while compensating with another Veltins I only get one idea what made Brits connecting „um“ with „brella“. BTW, brella or brolly reminds me of east german meal, a „broiler“ , a grilled chicken. Nahhh, to hot for it now.

Well, in Italy it is a ombrello! So it may be from the time when the first wave of migrants, aka the Romans, managed to cross the channel for occupying that island in the Northsea. And while sitting there in the cold and permanent rain, heavily armed and far away from the mediterranean, they kept jabbing about the rain and how much they missed a ombrello.

Here we go! The secret of Europe: French are Spanish, Germans are French and Brits are Italians! Cheers.

The Romans and their language of Latin has a lot to answer for. If you understand some latin, it is amazing how many French, English, Spanish and Italian words all have Latin roots. Not many in Germany I think, probably because the German tribes did a better job of resisting the Romans.
