Surely it will pass, much as the Bud...Wise...Er? did?

I'd really like to believe that. But the amusing frogs never recorded a novelty dance record, did they? This is getting serious.

And they were in no way as irritating as "WAAAAASSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUPPP!!"

No, but the frogs adverts did get successful to start off with because it had that Wiseguys record on in the background to most of them, which landed somewhere high in the charts. Now it seems the same process is going in reverse.

Erm....there was a frogs record, but only on WL. It was pretty bad.

Is it because they is black?

I won't even dignify that with a reply.

Please let it be stricken from the records.

You wouldn't believe how many idiot students I have to hear shouting "WASSSSSSSSUUUUUUUPPPPP!!!!" into their mobiles every single day...

Wears my temper a bit, I can tell you.

I share an office with my line manager. About two weeks ago he changed his incoming email sound to a WASSSUUPP (I feel vaguely embarrassed even typing it) sample. It was mildly amusing the first five or six times.

Thankfully, the record I heard was only a white-label and probably won't have a wide circulation. Still, the fact that it exists is worrying enough. Steve Lamacq mentioned that there are at least four different "Wasssuuuppp!" sampling records in existence. Be afraid.

I have reason to believe that there is now a white label 12" featuring the sound of Phil typing the above post.

Bugger! Now all my postings will be interrupted by crap samples and frantic scratching.

"WAAAAASSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPP!!!!"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

(Lengthy instrumental break)

To truly understand the horror of WAASSUUP, one must be a teacher, apparently.
An educational friend of mine informed me that it has almost driven him to murder his in loco parentis charges on several occasions.

Funnily enough, I am a teacher, and the WASSSSUPPP phenomenon hasn't been anywhere near as prevalent as I expected. But I am in the middle of London, and 'the kids' valuee their hip-ness. They're probably all quoting some whitel label advert that's big in the underground clubs. Or something.

Al, they're all quoting the white label of Phil typing.

The really hip ones are quoting the record that samples Steven typing something. That's a double album.

I suppose everyone knows that they've now been offered a sitcom as well...

Who, Phil and Steven? "Type Gentlemen Please"?

LOL!

Or 'No Paragraphs Please, We're British'

>I suppose everyone knows that they've now been offered a sitcom as well...

No, the Waaaassssuuuuuup people...
