Back to Winnipeg (lyrics version) 英語字幕

This is a re-post of a video did earlier, but someone asked me to add lyrics to it, so I did that. Eventually, I will try to add lyrics to all the songs, and then make a playlist from that.

This song I wrote with a basic theme of gaijin (foreigner) life in Japan. Anyone who knows that life well will probably pick up on the clues.

The first part of the song was made entirely of "Engrish" found on various signs and t-shirts. That is why it makes no sense. :-)

A longer explanation is here:

And if you want more language humor, but in reverse, this page shows examples of Japanese and Chinese kanji used incorrectly:

I love that you're from Winnipeg. Lol, even though I complain about the city so much, the fact that when looking through the scroll bar thingy I go, "OH LOOK IT SAYS WINNIPEG *click* "

means I must be from Winnipeg too. :P

[fatblueman]

That is irrefutable evidence! (I am the same way!!)

I mean the chorus of the song is taken from a Simpson's episode. Remember how excited we all were when they mentioned us!? :-)

[ExpiredxMilk]

this is one of the best things i've heard ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! any advice to a high school band trying to get noticed?

[fatblueman]

I guess write silly songs and put them on youtube. That's about all I've got so far...

:-)

[phalanx1000]

As someone from Winnipeg and having lived in Japan I can find this song very very amusing.

[fatblueman]

Love me, love my Winnipeg!!! :-)

[Erforscher45]

I'm not from Winnipeg but still like this song.

...dosage of reality from an anime on a big screen plasma T.V. ....

t actually moved or been to Japan, but one of my close friends just landed in Tokyo for about ten days. I'm so insanely jealous!

[DefectiveCactusBox]

Great work on those violin parts, they sound awesome in your songs :)

[kiba161]

Lol. Im also living in winnipeg right now, i was surprised at the fact that you guys are from here. or am i wrong.

Lol and about your post down there about the song in the simpsons, i was just watching that ep a few hours ago,,

i was laughing at the fact that they actually replaced the "welcome to winnipeg" sign with "We were born here, Whats your excuse?" lol XD

[BeautifulMidnite]

I'm from NB ^..^ and a bit obsessed with Japan.

[6663000]

Awesome song, I can kind of relate being from Nova Scotia and aspiring to live in Japan someday.
