From Maine to Japan

U900, a Japanese ukelele duo composed of a knit rabbit and knit bear. Only in Japan, I swear. The video is a cover of the Ventures tune "Walk Don't Run." The rabbit starts off by saying "All right, the faster we finish this the faster we can go eat," and the bear agrees. The translated lyrics are basically like, "If you rush things, you'll get it wrong...you should take your time, relax. It's no good if you get it wrong." At the end the rabbit announces, "That was perfect!"

The really funny thing is that on the full video, found on their official DVD (which I might have bought), it closes with a voice off-screen saying, "Uh, guys? The tape wasn't rolling yet." And which point the rabbit and bear get appalled looks on their faces and mutter "If you rush things, you'll get it wrong."

Words to live by! I've taken to muttering "Isogaba (gabagaba) maware!" when I'm feeling stressed recently.

Also, their cover of "Tequila" is amazingly cute. :)
