I'm on Fire!

So this is what Ballinger does in his spare time… actually I shouldn’t be so surprised, and I shouldn’t be surprised that the rest of the class knew half the songs too. It was certainly…interesting…. I had fun. I loved the goofy songs. I’m going to have Hahahaha stuck in my head for the next week. It’s really very interesting to see how similar and yet how different music videos are from America to Japan. I mean, they’re all pretty weird, but just a little bit of a different kind of weird. For example, I’m not sure how well Fish Fight would fly as a serious music video in The United States. It was hilarious and is totally something I can see Americans doing, but it just made more sense coming from Japan. I wish I had more descriptive words than that. Same thing with Drinkin Boys. I can totally see Americans doing it, but I’m not sure how well it would necessarily go over with the audience.

The food ones were funny too. It’s really great to see what people can do with simple household items and turn them into a great music video. You’re On Fire was a great example of how to turn ordinary meal time into fun time. It was morbid and yet hilarious.
