Strictly for Kizzy!
 

Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun,dun, dun, dun, dun daaaaa

:worship: I actually love this so much :love:

I can't view on this moblie device but I love the song and legs&co :love: thankyou!

We need Ottawa's hands up as well :D

Isn't it a bit lacist?

Anton DuBeke.

No

You don't think this would be classed as racist if released today? Ok then.

no
they can Remix any problems



Get with it Old boy

No

Infact
Japan would love this out again
as its giving them a thumbs up.

great jingle
Dub mix would be Good

Well you're both wrong. This would never be released today. affected accents and faux geisha get up would make this a no-go for record companies.

Record Deals are not like the Old days

A Remix can transform a tack worldwide.


I have seen Hits for old Bill Withers Hits
get him Remixed just after being used in a Ad.

I would Hire DJ Spinna to remix it.


Demand and Supply.

Can't say it's wrong if it's never happened.
I don't do hypotheticals.

I agree - it's actually a decent record. My point is that it would never see the light of day in the current climate. You can't go round and sing songs in an affected Japanese accent. You just can't.
Anyone can avoid that fact by burying themselves in avoiding the point, but it's a fact.

The Lead Vocal is Fine.
It does no offense



You are Over Reading the Political Angle


In Japan they love Jingles like this

Facts please, all we have here is your opinion.

Spare us the PC brigade!
 

The world will be a much greyer place if the racist flag is waved at groups like these:



Not to mention Boney M and The Village People!

Well we have context as well Kizzy. How does modern society feel towards Mickey Rooneys impersonation of a Chinese guy in Breakfast at Tiffanys?

I'm sure the Al Jolson tribute act will be back on the road in no time.

Anyway - this thread was just for you, so I'll leave it that way.

Remember John Wayne's attempt at playing Genghis Khan?

Did you yourself not make a comment about enjoying 'flied lice' before your trip earlier in the year. It's all about context isn't it?

It'd probably be criticised today, yes. Same goes for Bowie/Iggy's China Girl.

How you get to that reply from my post is incomprehensible. But yeah, I say many things that could be classed as offensive or racist. If anyone wants to know my my actual views on race, read the many serious threads I've contributed in, on that specific subject. I'm not a faux liberal. I've seen "others" on here rush to defend their friends when they are saying genuinely racist things, but not me.

You also may have a point if I was planning on releasing a single called "flied lice". You'll be saddened to know that I'm not. Anyway, I only replied as you took a generic conversation about a song released decades ago into trying to make it about me.

Bye.
