[SONG] “Wanna Be Your Asian”
Errol: It’s my anniversary today! Huzzah! Yes, I got married on Valentine’s day. This is a song I wrote for my wife. It kinda critiques asian, sidekick stereotypes. Kinda…
And no, Debs is not my wife.
LYRICS:
Verse 1
Do you believe? What’s seen on screen,
Don’t believe all that is said.
Just look at me!
I don’t wear rice bowls upon my headPRECHORUS
But I’ll Defend you as Kato Did
Hope to be as wise as Mr. Miyagi
or like Russel who taught us how
To approach life so DoggedlyCHORUS
Wanna be your- I wanna be yours
I wanna be your AsianVERSE 2
They think I’m superhuman Or a genius with math
and born with kung fu abilities
But I’m not sexual With bottle thick glasses
Assumptions ’bout my anatomyPRE-CHORUS
When Big trouble came, Wang Chi was there
Can I make you laugh Like TakeiBut if I talk too fast You misunderstand
Remember Short Round What did that kid say?
HA HA HA Ha….ha ha….um, ok, stop Uncle Errol. That’s enough.
Wow. What did I just watch? Seriously, vids like this should have an NSFL warning at times. That said, it was good. Just, next time, more Memes. She looks like Summer Glau, which is good.
@Kelson, well… it WAS to my wife. If it was ALL memes, then that would be weird. 😀 I was debating putting her in more, but then decided against it. 😀
And I never thought of her as an asian Summer Glau. 😀
(Btw, I DO have many other videos with her where she is in it and not me)
@Errol, more Summer Glau and less Errol would be awesome. And the fact that you made a music video for your wife is a bit odd to begin with, so having another woman in it just increases the weirdness.
@Kelson, If there is anything about me… “odd” would be a good choice. 😀
And that other woman is my cousin! Ok… that’s weird. But I needed more asians in there… and Manda and Debs aren’t asian.
@Kelson, Actually, it’s not really odd. It’s in keeping with many of the videos he has done in the past. Mimi is a common denominator in a lot of Errol’s singing/dancing videos. It would feel wrong if she wasn’t in this one. The odd video would have been when he got our parents to do the Macarena….
@Lizette Tanner, if he wasn’t so non-embarrassed by it, that would be perfect blackmail material.
@Lizette Tanner, Sadly… we DID the macarena… and we were cut off screen because we didn’t have a camera person.
And… because we did a lot of things in one take, I didn’t check the video after.
So… the closeup shots of me didn’t work… which really was for the best anyway.
You gotta love Mimi…
@Lizette Tanner, she does put up with a lot… like me going to her place at 11:00pm to do this video until midnight. 😀
@Errol, what is with you doing things at absurd times of day?
@Kelson, Well, it’s the only time of day I can do things, really. After… 10pm. 🙁
@Errol, are you a vampire? I think you might be a vampire.
@Kelson, basement vampire. (Sorry… in-joke)
@Kelson, Can’t be a proper vampire, because otherwise he’d have some of the sociable hours available during the winter due to lack of sunlight (and then only have the time between ten pm and five am during the height of summer.
@Mercenary Pen, curtains and sunscreen. Has anyone seen Errol outside in the daylight? I thought so…
You need to post the lyrics now….
Awesome!
And an amazing ear-worm. 😀
I can’t the chorus out of my head now…
@Dragondreams, me too… sadly.
