Well if you're gonna post the swf, you gotta post the original!

The Original Yatta

I have a higher quality version, but my school's FTP server won't let me upload a file that big. So you guys are stuck with the ASF

Thanks! I always find great links here.

Good song, upbeat, fun to listen to, not a lot of extra bodyfat. They should have done it wearing the full montie though.

I think The Village People would have looked great doing that - or Britney Spears, Maybe.

Yeeha, sicko old guy here

Oh, BTW, what in heck were they singing about anyway?

Well, Mrs Infidel loved both links! But neither of us has a clue what we were looking at!

Default A rough translation..

Here's a translation of the lyrics of the song...

Quote:
G R Double-E N Leaves
G R Double-E N Leaves
It's so easy! Happy-go-lucky!
We are the world! We did it!
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! (Unh!)

All right! All right!
We're doin' great in college!
All right! All right!
Made president at our jobs!
Long as we've one leaf on, we're doin' fine! Hey, we're lucky just 'cause we're alive!

All right! All right!
We've been confirmed for the prize!
All right! All right!
We're representing Japan!
We're so healthy, it just makes ya sick!
Everybody say "All right!"

Japan's got crises (but)
Tomorrow's wonderful
Even if somebody's mean to us, we just go to bed and
Snore! Snore! Snore! Snore! Pass! Pass! Pass! Pass! (Good morniiiiing!)

All right! All right!
We got nine hours of sleep!
All right! All right!
Woke up and jumped outta bed
What kinda great things might await us now? Hey, we're lucky just 'cause we're alive!

All right! All right!
If there's a change in you
All right! All right!
Then the whole world will change too.
Getting through it unhurt's the best of all. Just stand up straight because it feels greeeaat!!

I drink water that's tasty! (All right!)
I get in the sun and feel toasty! (All right!)
Havin' a belly laugh's fun! (All right! All right!)
Try keeping dogs--they're cute! (All right!)

[Repeat]

As we brushed past each other, you favored me with a smile.
It's okay if we never meet again. I'm lucky you were here just for a while!

We've got recession these days...in goverment we've no faith.
Could we hit "reset," that'd be number one! And since we're all here, it's just so much fun!

All right! All right!
In university class
All right! All right!
We've got a movie star!
Long as we've one leaf on, we're doin' fine! We're all together, it's a happy time!

All right! All right!
Long as we still can breathe in...
All right! All right!
Long as we still can breathe out...
We're so healthy, it just makes ya sick!
Everybody say "All right!"

[Repeat]

Bye-Q!

Aw, Jonathan, why did you have to ruin the fun by providing a translation? Isn't it more interesting to let your imagination run wild on what the half-naked men prancing around with fig leaves on their groins are singing?

Actually the video makes a whole hell of a lot more sense when you know the translation.

See, that kinda ruins it. We can't make fun of the prancing Japanese men if it makes sense!
