Underwhelming is my first thought. Not sure I’ll give it a second.

It’s a great song, but I prefer Nirvana’s version of “There’s A Bathroom On The Right.”

So glad you posted that! That scene is revered in the Lindsay household. We still sing the National Geographic theme, with lyrics.

The lyrics made up in the movie, or you make up your own?

Heh! Started out as the movie lyrics, but we started adapting those to whatever is at hand.

“Look at that snowwwww-plow, it just buried some guy!”
