I won't fuck with da Hui
I won't fuck with da Hui
Because da Hui will fuck with me
I won't take off on da Hui
I won't take off on da Hui
I won't take off on da Hui
A haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
'Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Digging for scraps with the kooks in line!
I won't park next to da Hui I won't park next to da Hui I won't park next to da Hui Because I don't really feel comfortable
A haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
'Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore royalty
Stuck on the shoulder, I'm not complaining
Digging for scraps I'm a kook in line!
A haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
'Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Digging for scraps with the kooks in line!
Don't fuck with da Hui
Don't fuck with da Hui
Don't fuck with da Hui
Because da Hui will fuck with you!
The lyrics of the song Da Hui by The Offspring tell a story of a non-local (haole) surfer on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii where da Hui, a local surf club, holds a powerful presence. The song is about the respect and fear that haole surfers have for da Hui and the local surfing community. The chorus repeats the phrase "I won't fuck with da Hui," emphasizing the need for haole surfers to understand and respect the power dynamics that exist on the North Shore. The lyrics underscore the message that if a haole disrespects da Hui or the local community, they can suffer the consequences.
The second verse highlights the haole surfer's outsider status as part of the North Shore society. The line "Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me" is a reference to the surfers who lack the skill or standing to surf the bigger waves on the main break, and are relegated to surfing on the shoulder of the waves. The lyric "Digging for scraps with the kooks in line" further highlights the haole's outsider status, as a kook is a non-skilled or inexperienced surfer. The song ends with the warning to "not fuck with da Hui," reminding the listener that the local community holds the power and haole surfers must respect the dynamics that exist.

Excellent !!! Autant je regarde souvent des films ou des vidéos en anglais VOSTFR mais jamais de français sous titré en anglais. Je ‘’découvre’’ avec étonnement à quel point c’est plaisant, intéressant et instructif (ton talent n’y est pas étranger, bien sûr). J’ai croisé ta chaîne par hasard en cherchant la prononciation du mot ‘’cheh’’ et j’ai pensé que j’allais me marrer en regardant tes autres productions : je crois que cela va aller bien au-delà de la simple rigolade…
Un dernier mot : vouloir expliquer à des anglophones les répliques hilarantes du cultissime ‘’Les Visiteurs’’, c’était vraiment TRES ambitieux. Et bien, tu t’en sors avec brio !! Respect. 🙏
Donc, merci pour tout ce travail et à bientôt.
(pardon pour ce long baratin mais j’avais envie de te dire tout ça)

I've always been fond of Jean Reno. This has sparked my want to learn French.

Sad you don't have more views. I like this movie a lot, also the sequel. they were on Australian television i think late 90's or early 2000, with subtitles. I don't speak any french but i have been there (german family), and i feeeeeel the comedy coming out. some jokes are lost in translation and culture but still very enjoyable. great viewing with family.
i can't find where to get english subs for the whole movie

Salut! J'adore, j'adore, j'adore les Visiteurs (1993) !!!! Je me souviens de la sortie de ce film en France alors que j'y vivais. Même si je n'ai rien compris parce que la langue était trop rapide pour moi, j'ai adoré l'humour et les aperçus du Moyen Âge que j'ai eus. En tant qu'Américains, nous avons bien sûr une histoire très courte, et rien de comparable à l'histoire fascinante et riche de la France. Aussi, j'ai adoré la musique techno qui est sortie comme "Qu'est-ce que c'est que c'est bins" qui je croyais dire "beans" comme un peu de ce que vous avez expliqué. (J'avais même un t-shirt avec cette phrase !) Quelques années plus tard (mdr) je suis professeur de français aux USA depuis 20 ans et je montre ce film à tous mes élèves, pour de multiples raisons ! Quand je montre le DVD, je ne suis pas du tout emballée par les sous-titres anglais - ils ont traduit tous les "mauvais" mots en jurons anglais qui ne correspondent pas vraiment au français et sont trop durs, mais que pouvons-nous faire à ce stade ? De même, ils traduisent les noms français des personnages en noms anglais dans les sous-titres anglais, de sorte que mes élèves ne les connaissent pas sans explication. Je me demandais si vous savez s'il existe une version sur le web du film ou des extraits de film avec de bons sous-titres en FRANÇAIS ?

Donc on conclu que les mots anglais était fort mokaaaay dans ce film
