Top of the World Shonen Knife Theological MTV

[Shoknifeman]

ummmmm ok...... great choice of bands, but, the whole religious images thing is just disturbing

[convergence03]

@Shoknifeman: it's actually because this video was made for a project in theology class. the group was tasked to incorporate the song with how the world was created by God. ^_^

[Shoknifeman]

@convergence03 ...well, ok... the World was actually created by thermo-nuclear expellings from the sun, that later formed a mass in the Sun's gravity, cooled and formed the planet but, hey, it's all good

[convergence03]

@Shoknifeman it's just funny how humans interpret things. yet, remarkable: the lengths to which they will go to fit things to their versions of reality. well, we all have our beliefs, and i do respect those of others' though they are contrary to our christian doctrines. ^_^

@convergence03 Cools, always nice to meet someone who can respect other opinions, contrary to their own ^_^ , btw, great production values on the lead in

@Shoknifeman thanks! i really appreciate it :) truly i enjoyed editing the video. especially while hearing shonen's voice. she gives a good rendition of this classic song. nice meeting you too! ^_^

@convergence03 Actually, the name of Shonen Knife's lead singer is Naoko Yamano (the woman in the pic for the "rock in Japan fes 06" link to the right) , she started the band in 1981 with her younger sister Atsuko and their best friend Michie Nakatani (the 3 women in the B&W pic for the Frogophobia link) Since that time, she's the only remaining original member, but, the band is still as good as ever! Shonen Knife means "boy's knife" in Japanese; a reference to the band's punky flavour.

@Shoknifeman ohh. thanks for the info. i stand corrected. :)

[Shoknifeman]
