Uh actually Vlad acquired his last name ‘Dracula’ meaning son of the dragon. Bram Stoker did NOT give Vlad that name. And Vlad last name is not Tepes. Tepes was what the village people and his enemys gave him meaning impaler its was not his actual last name. So really you need to learn a little bit of history!

Did you here what they did to Vlad himself, ad my people tell it, his head was cut off and dipped in honey and spirits and essentially paraded around on a pike to prove once and for all that he was dead

Vlad Tepes was also known as Dracula, or “Son of the Devil” (or “son of the Dragon”). His *father* bore the name “Dracul”.

I always thought Jim Croce looked more like Mario.

Really, come to think of it, calling him “Vlad Dracula” is much closer to the truth, since the people gave his father the surname “Dracu(l),” he took the name himself.

By: jovially

Actually, devil and dragon meant pretty much the same thing in that time period. The name Drăcul (a derivative of the latin “draco” for dragon) was not invented by Stoker, so neither was Drăculea.

Jim Croce also looks like Borat.

Actually “Dracul” means the devil. dracula means absolutely nothing, it was invented by Bram Stoker. Vlad’s nickname was Ţepeş, which sort of means “the Impaler”(but not directly). Because he used to impale law-breakers. Duh.

Knowing how to speak Romanian actually helps in translating words.

Dracula – Dracul was his dad. Just to flog the dead horse with an anal stick of metaphor overuse.

Thank you for your insightful comment. You are 100% correct. “Vlad Dracul” was his nickname. Also “Vlad the Impaler”, because he impaled his POW’s on spikes, then was reknowned to dine with his cohorts on their flesh and blood.

Agreed, but when you attempt to broadcast humor in a narrow band it consistantly misses its mark. So unless the projected audience are Croce-philes (ain’t that a fun one to say), you’re only gonna see the parts of an artists library that would end up on a Time-Life record.

Can’t really blame him what with his father having his face peeled off and his brother having his eyes burned out and being buried alive. That’s got to be a counselling jobbie. *all knowing after reading wikipedia – font of all knowledge**

1.Walachian, not Transylvanian.
2.The Dracul name come from the “Dragon”: Vlad’s father was the member of The Order of the Dragon, this order was founded by the Hungarian Sigismund King (and also Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire).

other infos are just legends

He just wants to sooth your soul with some folk melodies before impaling you on a 20 foot stake!

Hence the OTHER nickname “Vlad the Impaler”.

By: Wobble

Actually Tepes is a nickname as well – means ‘impaler’.

*mutters* And he was a Walachian prince not a transylvanian warlord.

“Oh, baby, I can’t stand among a silver cross for you.”

“Now I got them steadily depressing, low down, mind-messin’ sleepin’ in a coffin blues”

You guys should listen to more Croce than Time In A Bottle and I Got A Name. Those are two of his worst songs compared to the rest.

Actually Dracula was his nickname. His father’s was Dracul – which means “dragon” while Dracula means “son of the dragon.”

If I could save time in a bottle, I’d save every day ’till eternity passes just to spend them with you.

Y’know, I think that would have fit “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” much better than that weird Annie Lennox song.
