Well, now I know what's in my Room 101. That just sucked the life right out of me, and not in the good way. And their web page calls it a "raunchy video." That was raunchy? A man fucking a sheep in a nativity set, that's raunchy, but a couple of ditzes in hot-pants isn't raunchy; it's 1974. I just got the Yatta video out of my head and now this. The Yatta video has life, man. It has joy. It has many more words in English, even. It has substantially better dancing; watching them bounce along like insane bears makes me want to join in. And of course it has a horde of men in their tighty-whiteys. ``Touch My Bum'' was joyless corporate pap from the Pop Music Extruder... mmmm.... pap. Now if there's some way we can combine these two with the Boonga-Boonga video game... maybe then I'll be able to close my eyes again.

It's the worst song since doop. Not often that I agree with the man who poisoned modern music, Peter Waterman...

Ok, honestly people, is this worse than The Ketchup Song (further discussed in the Google Zeitgeist thread a couple of days ago that I'm too lazy to link)? No, I think not. I think what bothers me more is the incestuous lesbianism. If you actually read their about page, it says they're 20 year old twin sisters from transylvania. Insert RHPS quotes here. But yeah, Yatta is still the best, the rest of the Green Leaves stuff and anything else off of Happy Go Silly or whatever the hell that show was called is *really* funny, assuming you like Japanese humor (which means people getting badly hurt, a lot).

I don't think that I'm the only person in the UK that sincerely wants to apologise to the world for this travesty. I'm sure there must be some UN backed convention for ensuring such songs never reach the mainstream. On behalf of my countrymen, I'm really really sorry. I am. Sorry. No I mean it. Really, really sorry.

I know not one iota of Japanese, but Yatta still always fills me with the joy, optimism and semi-ironic hilarity intended by its craftsmen. I mean, even after, like, there's been a tragic death, or something. It's getting embarrasing. Touch My Bum? Torch My Lai.

Oh lighten up you dull psuedo-intellectuals. It's a piece of stupid pop trash, not the latest Radiohead album. If all music has to aspire to some level of sophistication, what a dull pursuit it would be. WE ARE TEH CHEEKY GIRLS, YUO ARE TEH CHEEKY BOYS. TOUCH MY BUM!

I think there has to be a whole new genre of pop music created for songs like this and that friggin' Ketchup song (now playing at weddings country wide). I hereby nominate "novelty pop" as a worthy genre label and another addition to the stratification of music.

So was the quaintly niave attempt at international pop credability that was the Ketchup Song.

Trust me, it's a thousand times worse when you have 4 channel of tv to choose from, it's 10am on a Saturday and two of those channels have them on (on with them live, the other a video).

Why in the world would anyone do a close up of someone's mouth (like in the beginning of that video) that has teeth that messed up?

The Cheeky Girls are bloody awfull, at least doop was mildly amusing for a few minutes and gets a name check in Futurama!

sorry, but if their selling point is their bums, shouldn't they at least...um...have some? i see back, then legs, and very little in-between. somebody get these girls some red beans and rice.

If you haven't tried the game... well, uhm.... let's just say I've never slapped a bum using that finger motion.

HEYYYY MACARENA! AI! I seem to recall aforementioned song being popular in the US. Perhaps they should rename this song 'Find My Bum'. If you want bums, haul Kylie or Jennifer Lopez out here pronto. Cheeky Girls or Kylie in the Spinning Around video? It's no contest.

The tune is probably the most unimaginative I've heard in a long time. Yes, a lot worse than the worst qualities of Las Ketchup, Doop and Macarena combined. The melody consists of four different notes. The chords, well, there is one. Plus the transposition between the phrases. I have no trouble at all believing it was written by their mother a few hours before their audition in Popstars. That, or the music industry is testing how simple a pop song can be.
