This parody is a project by Patty Yu (and her many collaborators) of BoA Kwon's Eat You Up.

Oh, so I guess I have to know what they are parodying first.

Oh, ok.

Never mind!

I'm getting old and really can't tell if these kids are being earnest or ironic, or if they really know any difference either.

Is this something I would have to be a skeleton to understand?

IMO, neither video/song is all that good.

Obligatory link to a far superior parody video.

This is NOT about Benny Andersson's Orkester, in case anyone else was confused.

First thought: humbow not hotdogs!
Second thought: oh man, kids with their free time! I wish I had a lawn for them to get off!
Third thought: oh shit, I'm turning into someone from Metafilter!

Bank of America. Actually, I kind of wish it _was_ about Bank of America.

(And re the original: Oh yeah, that girl makes her own rules, dawg. She causes trouble for the establishment!)

Mmm Char Siew Bao. My mother used to make those from scratch all the time when I was a kid. She would always put a little square of waxed paper on the bottom of each one, I guess so they wouldn't stick to the bamboo steamer. When the bao were finished steaming, the waxed paper would be sort of cooked on and basically looked like part of the bun. You were supposed to remember to peel the paper off before eating your bao. Anyway, my brother and I, greedy little kids that we were, would always be halfway through wolfing down the first one when my mom would say, "Aiyah! Don't forget to...oh."

My brother and I ate a lot of waxed paper when we were kids.

(I enjoyed the video, thanks!)

Char Siew Bao (or Char siu Bao, sometimes) is proof there is a divine force which wants us to be happy. I applaud the video for clarifying that even skeletons believe this.
