Hey, don't blame me for Britain's bad taste.<br /><br />In all fairness to Aneka, that video is not a video proper but another clip from TopPop, my new favorite Dutch '80s music program. And maybe I'm losing my marbles, but I strangely enjoy "Japanese Boy" in a semi-ironic sort of way. "Shaddup You Face," however, I don't really enjoy either ironically or sincerely.Little Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415022026000282965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-45874493156103019972013-08-11T12:12:33.616-07:002013-08-11T12:12:33.616-07:00Did both of these songs hit #1?

She's wearing a terrible wig and a kimono, and then she she sort of wobbles both and forth. Like at the end of the video, the two guys fighting collapse, and then she just kind of stands there and looks at them. At least with Shaddup You Face their at least making some attempt to entertain those kids (and teach them young and early about racial stereotypes).Herr Zrbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728690738360128504noreply@blogger.com
