Yatta!This started out as a skit on a Japanese comedy show and eventually grew into its own fig leafed music video. Does anyone know of any other musical gems like this? Warnings: 7.71 MB Windows Media file & scantily clad men

I've always had a soft spot for Daler Mendhi after watching this priceless gem while eating dinner at an Indian restaurant near my house.

Weird yes. But at least I finally have some explanation for this image.

This is why Metafilter is so very, very special. From Trafalgar Square peace marches and TV trauma of Trade Center relatives to Japanese toliets and Yatta!. Fabulous. Karaoke say hello to The Full Monty.

FYI--Yatta: Japanese short form for "yarimashita" meaning "did it". When used as an exclamation "Yatta!" it has the meaning of "I did it!"
