feel the nanger

Have you ever been singing to the radio in your car with one of your friends in the front seat and suddenly the words you are singing are not the actual words in the song? First, they look at you kind of funny, question whether or not the lyrics they are singing are correct, and then start laughing hysterically at the ridiulous thing you just said.
I have been studying for a Modern Europe test that I have tomorrow with Tilford (whom I love dearly) for the past few days, and late at night I get a little loopy. For some reason I was talking about my brother, Chip, and then the theme song to "Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers" pops into my head. It was all downhill from there. I started singing it and my roommate Lori looks at me with that "those are totally not the right lyrics" look on her face. Not only was I not singing the right words, the words I was singing weren't even actual words. "Ch-ch-ch-Chip and Dale, Rescue Rangers/Ch-ch-ch-Chip and Dale, FEEL THE NANGER". What? What does that even mean? I googled it, and all I can come up with is that a 'nanger' has something to do animals, at least thats what it said after being translated by my spanish-major roommate from a spanish exotic bird website... or in the "Urban dictionary" it is defined as this:
1. Nanger- An ugly or slightly mutned person; A ranky; a person not worthy of a second look, except for a chuckle.
2. Nanger- Nerd + Anger = Nanger
A subservient but biting anger towards normal members of society, resulting from both years of taunting and/or exclusion and the nerd's own insecurities.
Wow. I looked waaaaay to into this, didn't I?
As a child, did I honestly think they were saying that, or was I just trying to fit in because my two oldest siblings were screaming the theme song at the top of their lungs? And you probably already know this (and laughed out loud at me as a child when I said it wrong... ahem... Beth... Chip), but the real lyrics to that is "where there's danger", which makes much more sense. Alright. Must sleep.
