James Brown? Why?

Japanese friends, look here:

Oh. My. God.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuesday Night Edit: Showed the kids the video. They both said, "HEY! I've seen this show." And then they got very nostalgic.

1. Why is he in drag?

2. Was he multiplying at the end?

3. What was up with James Brown?!?

4. And the Indians??

I understood enough of that to know it didn't make sense. The man in the big fluffy dress should have tipped me off to that, though.

I have to go, I think I'm going to have an epiletic seizure.

I know you and I are new commenters on each other's site, so this may come off as harsh. But I think I you and I are going to fight.

I didn't have a headache before I watched that video. Now I do. And seeing James Brown in that video, without ANY EXPLANATION, is enough to cause an aneurysm.

I was just about to take a nap, and now I don't know if that will happen. Thanks, Paige.

"I think I you and I are going to fight." It's not just you. I seem to have that effect on people. I sincerely apologize for the disturbing nature of that video. ANY responsible adult would have included a Public Service Announcement-Warning.

............Hmmm. "Responsible adult". I think that's where we went wrong. One should never assume.

This made me nostalgic too. My Junior High Studants used to accost me in the hallways and say "O-HA" with that freaky little hand motion. I remember enough Japanese to know he's naming family members somewhere in that song. Multipling, I can't tell. But I simply cannot explain James Brown. It's the beauty of the Japanese.

As a side note: Sam watched it with me and thought it was funny. He seemed entranced. Or maybe that's just how babies look moments before a seizure.

Okay, second side note: my secutrity word is "veblt" which sounds Yiddish to me and like an excellent epithet-"If that veblt calls here again you tell him I'll burn his house down before I pay for new paint."

Yeah, does anyone else have trouble figuring out if it is a "v" or a "u" - I never get it right! I feel SO STUPID every time I have to figure out the word verification!
