Nukular

Jay Leonhart sings Nukular. Lyric: Nukular


At first I thought I knew what I was doing,
But then I found out I was wrong. In
Spite of what I thought was right the
World has shown me other wise
And so I wrote this song.

For you
See I always thought the word was nuclear, as in
Nuclear power or nuclear conflagration.
But now I've learned that the word is really nukular, yes
Nukular is the proper pronunciation.

It's nukular, nukular, n-u-k-u-l-a-r
Say it and you'll quickly come to love it.
It's nukular, nukular, join the rest of America,
Show the world you're stupid and proud of it.

Nukular has two U sounds that roll right off the tongue,
Nukular is macho and athletic. While
Nuclear is feminine, weak, and far too gentle,
Nuclear is passive and pathetic,

Nuclear's too complicated it sounds suspiciously like French,
It's just too meek and humble. But
Nukular is powerful it has a certain jene se qua,
Nukular is rough and ready to rumble.

It's nukular nukular and while it might seem peculular,
I now say nukular with no fear. But
How the pronunciation went from nuclear to nukular,
Still remains a bit unkular.

OK I guess I'm being nasty,
Being ugly and only getting ugular, but
With the the dumbing down of America today, I
Feel the need to go right for the jugliar.

It's Nukular Nukular that's the way you say it, the
Other way's too difficult and taxing,
Nukular nukular it rolls right off the toungue,
With nukular the uvula's relaxing

It's nukular, nukular, n-u-k-u-l-a-r
Say it and you'll quickly come to love it.
It's nukular, nukular, join the rest of America,
Show the world you're stupid and proud of it.

Jay Leonhart performed this on one of Jonathan Schwartz's programs on WNYC FM in front of an audience, and I only wish that I had captured a recording of it. Great stuff.

[anonimusabcd]

[Razbunyik]

Great song! (But "jene se qua" is actually spelled, "je ne sais quoi".)

[OrganCat]

Massive sounding bass! (wish I could sample it)

Whi is going to tell MORONS like BUSH, IDIOT JOURNALISTS, and IGNORAMUS POLITICIANS that NUCLEAR is pronounced NOO-KLEE-ER and NOT NU-KU-LER!!! Are their aides and their entourage that spineless or equally stupid to correct their superiors? One can understand that politicians such as BUSH are just too STUPID but when JOURNALISTS and the MEDIA keep saying NUKULAR you have to wonder WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!
