![]() ![]() It is quite clear to me now where Xenomania got their inspiration from for Mini Viva’s “Left My Heart In Tokyo”. I am reasonable sure that outside of Scandinavia the majority of people will have never heard that track (or have seen THAT VIDEO, take note THE NAKED AND FAMOUS), but WHAT A SONG, it puts Aqua to absolute shame. How that never made it to UK shores I DO NOT KNOW but by Lord I wish it did have. What excited me was what track Die Antwoord sampled for “Enter The Ninja” something I didn’t even realise they had done until I read it online earlier today, step forward the vaguely ridiculous Swedish bubblegum dance-pop duo SMiLE.dk straight out of 1996 with their track “Butterfly” – Sampling tracks for songs is obviously absolutely nothing new or even slightly eyebrow-raising. This post however is very much just a smokescreen to post the following video on here. The album I find tricky in one sitting, very tricky. I do think Enter The Ninja is sensational…it is a little bit (more) difficult to take them seriously if you have seen District 9 however, you do expect them to start shouting FOOKIN PRAWNS at any given chance. There has been a lot of discussion as to whether they are for real or not – I think it is a vaguely sincere anyway, with the tongue planted somewhere in their cheek, I love that he has “How Can An Angel Break My Heart” tattooed not over his heart but over the rib-cage cavity in his chest, clearly a big fan of TONI B AND KENNY G. ![]() ![]() I love that they have been floating around the net for the past 100 years and people are slowly becoming more and more aware of them, Enter The Ninja for Christmas number one 2013. ![]() Alright so everybody and their Mother knows about Die Antwoord, there is very little new to add to the discussion about them, although I am vaguely amazed that apparently Enter The Ninja really did chart at number 37 in the UK HIT PARADE! How fantastic. ![]()
