Ome Henk
Ome Henk ("Uncle Henk") is the main character of a Dutch CD, DVD and comic series of the same name. The Ome Henk CDs consist of stories which depend on dialogue and sound effects, and songs, some of which are parodies. Ome Henk is a character created and performed by actor Frank van der Plas (born 20 May 1960, Amsterdam). He is portrayed as a cranky, unemployed, and often aggressive old man living in the fictitious town of Biggeveen, which is full of other obnoxious, feeble-minded and otherwise extraordinary characters. The stories on the Ome Henk CDs highlight these various personalities and build up to many painful and embarrassing situations. The sketches have an absurd, caricatural character, and traditionally end with an explosion. Ome Henk's songs are about daily nuisances and other topics of interest to a grouchy old man. They're built upon (sometimes spoken) couplets and refrains and often feature a lively crowd, cheering and singing along. This makes the songs very suitab ...

Parody Musicians
A parody, also known as a spoof, a satire, a send-up, a take-off, a lampoon, a play on (something), or a caricature, is a creative work designed to imitate, comment on, and/or mock its subject by means of satiric or ironic imitation. Often its subject is an original work or some aspect of it (theme/content, author, style, etc), but a parody can also be about a real-life person (e.g. a politician), event, or movement (e.g. the French Revolution or 1960s counterculture). Literary scholar Professor Simon Dentith defines parody as "any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice". The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon said "parody ... is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text." Parody may be found in art or culture, including literature, music, theater, television and film, animation, and gaming. Some parody is practiced in theater. The writer and critic John Gross observes in his ''Oxford Book ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

My Boobs Are OK
"My Boobs Are OK" is a 2007 hit single by Norwegian singer Lene Alexandra. Origin The initial idea for the song came in summer 2006, when Lene Alexandra was playing football. She hit one of her breasts, and after a few days someone asked her in Norwegian: "Is your boob okay?", to which Lene Alexandra answered in English: "Yes, my boobs are okay". Music video The partially animated music video was made by Marcel Lelienhof (husband of Norwegian artist Mia Gundersen), Rasmus Sivertsen and Qvisten Animasjon on request by label owner and Norwegian TV personality Christer Falck. The video features Lene Alexandra wearing skimpy clothes in an office, and in other scenes as a nurse in between flashes of the animated parts.

Patty Brard
A patty or burger (in British English) is a flattened, usually round, serving of ground meat and/or legumes, grains, vegetables, or meat alternatives. Patties are found in multiple cuisines throughout the world. In British and American English, minced meat that is formed into a disc is called a burger, whether it is in a bread roll or not. The word “patty” is also used in American English but almost unknown in British English. The ingredients are compacted and shaped, usually cooked, and served in various ways. Some foods termed "patties" use ingredients inside a pastry crust that is then baked or fried. Some patties are breaded, then baked or fried. In London, since the late 1980s, the Jamaican patty, similar to the Cornish pastie, is a common food item. Etymology The term originated in the 17th century as an English alteration of the French word pâté. According to the OED, it is related to the word pasty, which is various ingredients encased in pastry. Termino ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
