I saw that this had been viewed more than 2 millin times, and didn't think I'd discovered something that no one had ever, you know, seen before. The Internet is a race, I realize, and you guys won—I threw in the towel a long time ago. I stand by my analysis of this video, however, and I'm going to reproduce it here in full:
I had a very long debate with a friend of mine over what language the singer in this is speaking. I believe the language is Dutch (and have evidence to back this up), but he still believes it's heavily accented English.
What about the Indian guy who split into different elements while singing his very catchy song and eventually exploded into a volcano or something? I can't remember the name, but I do remember also enjoying that video in 2002. I think it warrants a repost two.
To #15, this Anonymous Dutchman can definately confirm that that is indeed Dutch. The song is about wanting one of those inflatable crocodiles to float around in the sea with, because there's hot chicks there. You can imagine our pride.
Um... is about all I can come up with, too. Equally disturbing were the brief shots of an elderly Mao-party-looking-guy in the crowd and small-toddler-on-adults-shoulders looking on. This is how fetishes are born?
I can't even imagine (and am not going there) what the music itself must have sounded like...
Oo, Canuck, maybe his taking testosterone to counter that (note to endocrinologist: higher dose please) is what's lent his arms such extra bulginess lately!
They are pretty bulgy, gus...hmmm. And something most of you frank-n-beans people can look forward to...or, as I like preface certain conversations with Mr. Canuck, "Remember when you went insane a couple of years ago? Yeah, at about that time...blah blah" Thank goodness he's come down the other side of it, or I would have had to continue with the arsenic. (Lucky there's no female version, hey?)
And in case you don't scroll back to Morning News:
"Just after 7pm mass co-ordinated kissing took place in the street, to whoops of encouragement from a growing crowd. "It's still a victory," said Paul Shetler, a senior director at an IT firm. "They've wound up losing a night's takings because they couldn't have a bunch of men with tongues in each others' mouths."

There's a story behind it, actually; the artist, Daler Mehndi, had faced criticism alleging that his popularity was mostly due to the sexy female dancers in his music videos. So he made a music video featuring only himself. And it became a hit, not just in India, but even worldwide. It's actually a pretty awesome song and video in its own right.
I'd never seen that before either (and appear to have survived). What I found the most amusing was seeing the leaves (devoid of underwear) with flowing (pulsing?) lines that made me think that their purpose was to endow the wearer with ::adopts a serious voice:: Great. Virility.
I remember this from high school! Oh, good times! We watched in my Japanese class this by tricking our teacher. Oh, what a blast from the past! (I'm about to graduate from college, and I'm basically fluent in Japanese, so it's especially poignant.)
"Um..."

Um... thanks for the reminder?
Watch the subtitled one, the lyrics are so absurd. :-P
Gotta love the Japanese.
Did you know that Geraldine Ferraro was the Democrats VP nominee?

Interesting.
What is your analysis of the Louisiana Purchase?
(And it is good there's no female version that one can recall having heard of ever.)

Heh. Good for them.

I watched Yatta every night for like a month in college. 2003 or thereabouts. Watta throwback!
Damn, you beat me to it. Hilarious though.
