Woke Up in Slovenia with a Crick in My Neck
Clay Aiken on The Tonight Show, Sept. 15, 2006.
In this clip, American pop singer Clay Aiken talks about his experiences in a Slovenian McDonald’s — and later his fears of catching bird flu in Croatia. It aired on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, which averages about 5.7 million viewers a night.
(Thanks Mitja!)

1. Who is this guy?
2. Why didn`t someone kick him in the head while he was “lying on the floor at McDonalds”?
3. Who is this guy?
I will bet you 5000 tolars that he ordered a Royale with Cheese.
Your right cookie! never heard of this bloke ! some shit singer from American Idol..
Guys, look at the bright side of this. He actually put Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary next to each other…. I mean: this is educated!
Does this clip work for everybody else? It gets cut off in the middle for me.
P.S. to quote Cookie, “who is this guy?”
mess: It might just need a bit more time loading, depending on your connection. You can also try watching it here.
I’m trying to think of a Slovenian version of Aiken, but nothing comes to mind. In Germany, it would be someone like Daniel Küblböck.
I see, Daniel Küblböck… A guy without driving licence whose most notable achievement was a car crash with a lorry transporting cucumbers?
Still, Clay Aiken does know where Slovenia is and I find him kind of funny…
Educated? Taking the wrong medicine? Oh come on!
Another one: is it just me, or did Jay Leno call the country “Solvenia”?
@mess: He pronounced it allright, but his chin got in the way and came out muffled
@BigWhale: Educated! I didn’t say functionally literate
Ok, this has nothing to do with this post but…
In todays Dnevnik, the ex health minister Dusan Keber, who now acts as Saturday’s columnist for the newspaper, published an editorial that discusses the contents of a letter from and his meeting with our Jean, and her views on healthcare in Slovenia and America. Just thought I’d let you people know.
Clay Aiken, noun /KLAY AYKIN/ 1. former runner-up on American Idol and 2. most famous person who is so totally gay and for whom the whole of America totally accepts for being gay and, in fact, knows another gay guy that they just have to fix up with, if he would just come out and admit what his mother already knew when he was in diapers.
Yep, that sounds just like Daniel Küblböck alright.
After living in Slovenia for two years I moved back to America and I’m sorry to say that Clay Akin represents the new up coming generation in America.
Keep strong, our country is just becoming an omelet for the numbers.
Debra:
Excellent point. Your logic is compelling. Clay Aiken is horribly representative of American culture. I live in Chicago, and I’m up to my freakin’ shoulders with young men with pseudo-manga hairdos who speak with Southern accents, sing songs that are gay gay gay gay gay gay gay, and vacation in Central and Eastern Europe. They all want to be called by monosyllabic Southern names like “Earlâ€? or “Wadeâ€? or “Buck.â€? And they can’t stop talking about their mothers.
Your cogent analysis reminds me of one of those brilliant newsreels from the 50s when they’d stop an old guy at a gas station and ask him what he thought of Elvis Presley.
Kids these days. Geesh. Good for you for being sorry and apparently embarrassed. You should be, you fellow American swine.
But, I’m curious, why did you leave Slovenia? Was it because everyone there now dresses like Fredy Miler?
I’m working on a theory that’s not published or anything but I’ll put it up on youtube real soon. The same evil secretive Americans that brought you the events of 911 have organized a global cultural smack-down. It’s like Thunderdome but the world is the dome and the warriors are each country’s most important cultural figure. Clay Aiken was vacationing in Slovenia? Sure; as if there’s one American out there who knows where Slovenia is. Americans can’t even point out the Earth on a globe.
Here’s what happened – Clay Aiken arrived in what he thought was Slovakia (naturally), and he was going to find and smack around the #1 Slovak boy band, Mister the Best Wicked Groovy Dancer Mashine. But Fredy, in all Slovenian brilliance, caught him by surprise. Aiken got distracted by Fredy’s lack of manscaping and got pelted in the face with a McChicken. Wrong medication? Again, sure. Fredy rounded off Aiken’s humiliation by pouring a McPivo on him and screaming “Discover the diversity, bitch!�
Fredy rulz! Und fack the U.S. of the A! (:{)
(Michael, I would dare you to spray-paint the above on a new office building in Ljubljana, but I imagine that someone already has)
(:{) DISCOVER THE DIVERSITY BITCHES!
Clay is a very good singer, a pure talent and obviously very inteligent person since he knows where Slovenia is and he even was here. This is amazing. I didn’t know him before, now I have been watching some of his AI performances on Youtube and they are really great. Hope he visits Slovenia again!
