      Yes, Denny's. Which as we all know, is incredibly racist! Well,... not anymore.
      One of my mom's first jobs was as a waitress at Denny's. One of her jobs was ensuring that black people be seated in their own section. This wasn't in the '40s, it was the '70s. Shocking, right?
      Even in the '90s, some locations would seat black customers after whites or refuse to serve them at all.

    So it was that after many years of waiting in Meereen, Daenerys Stormborn, the last Targaryen, the Unburnt watched as her dragons grew into large beast capable of destroying worlds. Thus, she knew it was time as she mounted her fiercest and rode. Drogon left all those he flew over in darkness, Viseryon burnt through rock like butter on a stove and Albi burnt an Albanian boy, the racist dragon they named him...well not anymore.

    In the marmalade forest [forest]
    Between the make believe trees
    In a cottage cheese cottage
    Lives Albi [Albi] Albi [Albi]
    Albi the racist dragon
    Part 6
    And so all the people of the village
    Chased Albi the racist dragon into
    A very cold very scary cave and it
    Was so cold and scary in there that
    Albi began to cry dragon tears
    Which as we all know turn into jellybeans!
    Anyway just at that moment he felt a
    Tiny little hand rest apon his tail. And who should that little hand belong to, but the badly burnt Albanian boy from the day before
    'What are you doing here I thought I killed you yesterday'
    Grumbled Albi quite racistly
    'No Albi, you didn't kill me with your dragon flames, I
    Crawled to safety but you did leave me very badly disfigured, '
    Laughed the boy
    'Why are you crying? '
    I'm crying because all of the
    Villagers chased me here, I
    Think it's because I'm so racist. '
    'No Albi they chased me here too, when I became all disfigured like this
    They just don't like you and I. Because... Well because we're different to them
    And with that, Albi cried a single tear, which turned into a jellybean all the colours of the rainbow! And Albi wasn't racist anymore!
    So they sat in the cave [cave]
    And ate bubble gum pie [yum! ]
    Albi the racist - well, not anymore - Dragon... !

    I remember when I was a little kid, and my sisters friend just got an iPod, and they listened to it, and even now, it's still amazing :)

    Am I the only one here realising that "Albi the racist dragon" sounds like "I'll be the racist dragon"? Not sure if its on purpose though, love that song :)

    I think Rhett and Link only picked this song because Link saw so much of himself in the Flight of the Conchords... and yes I had listened to this before I knew who Rhett and Link were.

      Same, but as a writer there's a part of me that just finds the "part 6" part desperately hilarious, because it's so often that you want to write a particular part of the story, but you can't because there are all these other parts that come before it. (And yeah, I've tried skipping and going back, but then I always need to do big revisions. 🙄) So there's something kind of liberating about them just being like, f*** it, I'm writing the "good part," you can use your imagination for the rest. 😂😂

    Well here I am 16 years later and I'm laughing my ass off. Hard to believe it's been like 15 years since I've seen this video for the first time. I was a few months out of high school, and our neighbors introduced this group to us. And by us of course I mean my mom and stepdad and sisters. It was and still is to this day very hilarious.

      Conquer Earth As someone who makes a lot of lists, I can say he probably meant to click a different playlist, but accidentally added it to the ERB appearances one and didn't notice.
