A very, very bizarrly upbeat song by a band composed of a group of shameless Japanese men wearing nothing but disturbing fig leaf briefs. Odd and upbeat. View and Enjoy!
Yatta!” is a 2001 parody song by a fictional Japanese band called Green Leaves (はっぱ隊, Happa-tai?). The song title, “Yatta“, is the past tense of the Japanese verb yaru (“to do”) and is also the familiar short form of yarimashita, an exclamation meaning “It’s done!”, “I did it!”, “Ready!” or “All right!” The song was first performed as a sketch on the Japanese sketch comedy show Adventures of a Laughing Dog (笑う犬の冒険, Warau Inu no Bōken?), known as “Silly Go Lucky” in the United States, where Happa-tai, a sendup of a stereotypical boy band, is portrayed by some of Japan’s most well-known comedians.
The song and video have since been used as a web culture in-joke on many different websites. The actors who performed as Happa-tai were brought to perform “YATTA!” in the United States on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Host Jimmy Kimmel compared himself to Ed Sullivan introducing the Beatles in their first American performance. LINK
I think I am in love…lust. haha
Jill,
I was hoping it might be a good pick-me-up for you!
It definitely helped…you know me with “men during RiF” so this is the next best thing. Now, will I be able to focus all day after seeing these hotties? 🙂
Ladies, ladies … you call those skinny little song-birds “hotties”? Watch “The Full Monty.” for real men, “rif’d” from bankrupted steel mills, goin’ all the way to bring home some money for their families.
I demand equality. If you’re going to show a bunch of Japanese men near naked on stage, it’s only fair to show hot Japanese women in action. I’m counting on Red Vixen to resolves this injustice.
Lam,
You want me to go out and look for your pornography fetish?
Why don’t YOU post a sample link of what you are demanding? 😉
SAHS Teacher,
A LINK would be nice! 😉
