It's Pee-Wee Herman! A singing airplane! George W. Bush!
A dangerous pace-maker! The internet is buzzing over an
incongruous Shockwave video sung entirely in Japanese...
Several minutes into the mind-tingling stream of non-sequitors, the wacky male
singer is joined by a choir of Japanese youth, and during their third pass at
the chorus, a bouncing ball guides us through the lyrics. C'mon now,
everybody, sing along!
TV says donuts are hi in fat
Kazoo
Found a hobo in my room
It's Princess Leia
The yodel of life
Give me my sweater back
or
I'll play the guitar
It's the internet's fastest-growing phenomenon. Happy tuneful songs sung in
languages we don't understand -- but accompanied by comically unpredictible
animation. The last web chart-topper was "Hatt-baby! La la la la
la!", but today's find turned up at Animutation Central. (Thanks to
our friends at Honan.net for discovering the
link.)
So apparently the phenomenon is called "Animutation". You can tell
yourself that the baffling videos are a subtle, cheerful reminder that the
internet really is a global community, more diverse than you could ever
possibly imagine. Then stop thinking so hard, and sing along with the wacky
lyrics that are sweeping the nation. TV says donuts are hi in
