UPDATE: our favorite BOHEMIAN is doing an excellent guest turn over at COURTING DESTINY today… we sincerely hope everyone gets your asses over there to say “Hi”…

PERHAPS you’ve heard that some of us have grown children who still live at home (you know who we are). Well, sometimes, the aforementioned grown children force us to watch utter and complete, tho’ highly entertaining (to our way of thinking) silliness, and, much as we hate to admit it, this VIDEO falls into that category. Now, before anyone tries to watch, be warned: the above-link features a group of semi-naked (guess we should have used this yesterday?) men, known as “Green Leaves”, singing and dancing to an extremely catchy tune (think: Village People/Y.M.C.A.). Rather than let us explain the point and/or purpose of their prancy-dancy ways, we’d like to suggest reading THIS ARTICLE, which gives a good enough explanation (as well as one set of possible lyrics) for the performance. Then, if you’re game, and not afraid of having the tune bounce around inside your heads all day, watch this bunch of questionably developed guys shake their collective bootays and/or fig-leaves.*

OF COURSE, after you digest the first video, you may want to consider viewing THIS, which is funny only becasue it’s a parody of the other one, which is a parody of “boy band” videos, to begin with. Come to think of it, that’s not just funny, it’s downright hilarious. Don’t you agree? Please say “yes”, otherwise there’ll be no telling what our son will force us to view next.

*Try to remember these guys are part of a Japanese comedy team, and this song was actually written/performed as a statement on the current economic conditions in Japan (probably the reason it’s now such a huge hit in Japan). So, technically, it’s smart. Cheesy, sure… but in a pretty darn smart–not to mention humorous and-did-we-mention-catchy?–way. Yatta!

*We have an “educational” video we also wanted to share today, because we found it so hilarious it caused us to choke on our pretzel the first time we saw it. Unfortunately, it’s a little too NC-17 for this site (what with the Talimuffin stopping by from time to time) so we did what any of you would do… we left it as a comment for the LITTLE BLUE PILL. We figure she’ll take good care of it for us for us until Tali turns 18. (we thought our NBFF would want it that way…xox)
