“Gonna party like it’s 1699” my absolute favourite
what does it mean?
@@lukiland_ES When this song was made, it was the end of the 2nd Millennium. Some people & groups wanted to "party like its 1999" as it were. Like a new year, but 1000x more intense.
Modern society has recorded only 2 other melinnium ends in its history. So it made sense to party on the third.
"Party like its 1699" is a goofy double joke on that.
I thought it was a sexual reference.
It’s a hit song from Prince. Came out in 1982. It’s called 1999
First I have to finish my chores you'll finish thine.
That last part where everything is filmed in reverse but his lips are perfectly synced with the words. Legendary!
The fact he learned how to sing this backwards
i didnt even notice it was in reverse until i saw this comment
Ironically, the Amish will never know this masterpiece exists.
How is the SCP universe involved now.
Please tell me it is related to a certain video of 049 escaping with gangsta paradise music

And is that...Florence Henderson? The mother on the Brady Bunch?
You can't deny, the Amish live better than anyone with internet access.
In my personal opinion I dont think they live a better or easier life, I think they just live a different life. They have lots of hard and painful things too, loved ones still get sick and dies. And hard work isint easy and they to have laws and strict punishments for crimes.
And they might get harrassed by ppl who dont understand them. Bullying is also something that exists even among themselves.
No one can really know the hardships of another person unless you walk in their shoes or actually listen to them if they tells you.

So, most of my living relatives are Amish. A couple years ago I was visited by 3 of my cousins during rumspringa. I showed this video to them and they thought it was the funniest thing they have ever seen. They made me buy them a "How am I driving" bumper sticker the next day and when they went home they stuck it on my great uncles buggy. I got a letter from them a few months later. Great uncle John thought that was the funniest thing. Don't think for a second that the Amish don't have a sense of humor. Admire the amish for faithfully sticking to their beliefs. Very few of us do. Had lots of fun that week. Love you, Jacob, Isaiah and John.
I love this story. I wish you and your family well.
That’s funny as shit dude, you got a family with a sense of humour.
Ahah! Pretty funny family you got there :)
I grew up in Ohio around a bunch of Amish and I've seen buggies with neon lights inside and out and even a few that had systems installed.
Sticking to your beliefs which contradict facts is a bad thing and nothing to be proud of. That said, I don't think people who do that are necessarily bad

A friend of mine move to Amish country in PA. I visited for the first time and met her Amish neighbors, Levi and Rachel. They were really cool. They came over to watch me tattoo someone because they were curious. I also played them this video. They absolutely loved it. They pointed out that Menonites can use electronics, but more fundamental sects can't.
Cool
@@SniveReal He said cool Beavis! ahah hah!
Not sure how true it is, but from what I've heard, it's less about electricity and technology itself, and more about not interrupting their way of life? Like using computer to do calculations is perfectly fine since it doesn't change things in any fundamental way (also, apparently they're pretty big on solar power and such, so... )
Amish and Mennonites are actually not the same .... they all belong to the Anabaptists; however, most of the Anabaptist groups would get quite insulted if anyone said that they were branches of each other.
Some different groups are the Old order Amish, New order Amish, Mennonites, German Baptists, Beachy, Beachy Amish(yes there is a difference), Schwartzendruber Amish, Charity(or so they used to be called... they changed their name), and many others.
Mennonites are the ones I am the most familiar with. Everything depends on the location of the church because rules vary by congregation. Rules can be as strict as "Dresses must be hemmed at 9 inches from the floor" (Yes that is a real rule ...... I don't know why), and "Men are not allowed to wear shirts with print of any kind". Some rules make no sense and are only accepted because they were passed down from previous generations.
All Anabaptist groups can tell each other apart by observing the slight differences in the way the women dress. Colors and designs of coverings and dress patterns vary by which group the members belong to. Even the slightest difference in detail would identify someone as a part of a different group.

@Salafi-Jihadi Palestinian
Where I live is mostly farmland, small town. Down the road we have several Amish families and they come over sometimes to bring us pies and other foods in exchange for stuff like sugar and stuff we just buy from the store. I told them that a comedian made a song about them and most were open-minded about it. We’re friends I’d say. I give them rides to the store (would take hours on their buggy), they give us homemade goods and food. They pray for my parents (cancer) and my dad blows their driveway in the winter. Good relationship.
Years ago I showed them this to get their opinion on it. Simple really. Most laughed, acknowledging their own hard work and we talked about sacrifices they make for the sake of their religion. A lot of Amish people are no different than you and I, they just don’t want to use technology and their faith demands a “Spartan” (barebones) lifestyle. No frills, no fluff. Most don’t even use rubber on their wooden wheels or plows, they deem it unnecessary lol
