Possibly Thomas, after all what is orange in your language, and does it rhyme with anything? If it does rhyme then I'm guessing they removed it because the joke is lost.
"Orange" is spelled the same way in german, but it's pronounced in the french way.
Therefore, there are not too many words, wich would rhyme with it, if there is one at all.
A word that has definitively no rhyme is "Mensch", wich translates to "man"/"human".
But we disgressed into this german-topic again, and I'm afraid to piss some people off with it, so I'll stop now.

But if this song would be sang every time in the original version, they must really have removed it.
I once checked the code with ScummREVISITED, and discovered a variable, that is checked before the song comes, but I never found out, where this variable gets altered.
It indicates the language version, I guess.

I'd also like to point out that I did hint at big brother about the pirates song, before anyone else, but I figured he didn't need recorrecting like Mats was keen to point out.Ã,  :P

"Ah yes big brother, the sing-a-long section!" See? See?
Yeah, yeah, sorry!

The orange thing was Guybrush way to stop Haggis, Cutthroat Bill and Van Helgan's song since the word "orange" is a very difficult word to rhyme.
Oh yeah, this song.
I was surprised, when I read about it for the first time, because they never sang when I played the game.
Do I have to do something special to maken them sing?
Or is it because I have the german version?
Maybe they removed it, because it was too hard to translate.

Yay!
M:I-2 - LeChuck's Revenge just kicked arse!
And if this game half as good an M:I-2, I'll love it!
The art is quite descent, I've seen way worse!

I'd say drop the guns. Keep close to the original story.
No way, man!
The fun is to take a unspoiled story and put in all the needless Hollywood-stuff!
That's how it was in M:I-2 - LeChuck's Revenge!
#244
Yeah, germany rulez!  :D
Well, I don't like Rammstein so much, though.
Hey, does anyone know this song of them about america?

I'm a sociopath! Duh!

Well, VICTORY SHALL BE MINE!

Pronunciation doesn't equal meaning. That's kind of what I was getting at :P

But if you feel the need to call me a smartass, fine.
Aw, man, don't be so huffy.
I didn't mean you, I meant the people who would notice the different spelling after clicking the link and would be smart on me.
Besides, I thought you was getting at the interpretation/translation-thing and not at the spelling.

And besides, many names means something and are written slightly different.

Isn't that sort of an interpretation, rather than a literal translation? It would be like stone hard literally, making the most neutral interpretation "rock hard". Adamant is a pretty specific word :)
Ah, speaking german, are we?
Well, "adamant" is the official translation as you can see here.

For all the smartarses out there:
I am aware, that "steinhart" is actually spelled without "d", but who cares?
A german person would pronounce it the same way.
#248
Hmm, maybe you should change your name.
Steinhardt is a cool name, too.
It's german for "adamant".
#249
My suggestion: Stay with the name, you got (more or less) famous with.
#250
Ha! I just did a little research on the characters!
Klaus rulez!
#251
Well, I can't really judge it, since I never saw it, therefore I can't definitely claim that you are wrong in this point.
#252
First of all, the name is spelled "Griffin".
And besides:
Peter is no Homer, but he was never supposed to be one.
And I can't see, how anybody can't laugh about the cutouts.
Unfortunately, I never saw "American Dad", since it was never aired in germany and I don't know where I can get DVDs, but I bet, you just can't handle the social critism.

Are you kiddin'?!?

Family Guy is nothing but references and jokes about injuries or stupid people. Like: Peter suddenly falling down the stairs, throwing up because he drank a bottle of Ipecac, and any episode ever, because they all have references. It's not even funny.
Besides to the absolutely correct comments by Darth, I have to add:
Stupid people are funny!
And there are not so many things about injuries as you say.
Well, I haven't seen the whole episode with the ipecac (2 years, see above), but I saw this very clip and I was horrified!
But these are just some exceptions, the show mostly rules!

I hope it gets cancelled, and I hope you come to your senses before it does, Thomas.
Well, I'll never!

About the futurama end:
In the audio commentary, they said they made an ending in wich he, more or less, gets the girl, but they wasn't sure, if they really would cancel the show, so they kept the possibillity for more stories.

@DGMacphee: Don't say anything against King of Queens!

Can't you download em' off the internet? Torrents?
Great idea!Ã,  >:(

Many semi-celebrities in this community, I see.
#256
For the first video:
LOL, awesome!
But Mr.Rogers won?!?
He should actually get a kick in his ass by Stewie Griffin!

And the second:
It's very good, too, but the first one is better.

...I'm sorry, I know my sense of humour is an odd one, but I have to say... what is even remotely funny or interesting about 15+ pages saying "Click THIS LINK to a brilliant blond joke!"?
Nothing, but it's funny, if people click through all this sites and don't realize, that there is no joke.
And it's interesting enough to get an own article on freenet.de.
#258
People keep enhancing this gag, so you could start earlier.
There are some german links, at least, and if you start with one of them, you would need hours to reach the loop.
#259
You will be trapped in a loop, after a few hours.

EDIT: And it's how to keep a blonde busy for hours!Ã,  ;)
EDIT 2: LOL! I posted it to another forum and now I looked for it and someone answered:
"Just write it. There are dozens of links!"Ã,  ;D
