Here's a video I really like of a band I fell in love with recently. The song starts off with the singer talking about how he saw a cat, but at closer look it turned out to be a piece of bread, but only one slice, only one slice.

This song somehow brings dissonance, lounge music, and angry vomiting into one weird jumbling of words which I can only comprehend if I have a stroke while Mind Melding(tm) with a psychopathic Hungarian which happens to sing in Japanese.
Some of my favorite lyrics:
00:12 and repeated throughout the song - "So Icky!" (I might have misheard it. It could also be "ipecac!" or "Eat cat!")
01:17 - "Lukes Suberu"
03:29 - "Biting Cheese! Sugar, your coffee is [spoken quickly] maybe perhaps-some-of-the-best
I've-ever-had-in-my-life
oh-man-I-don't-feel-so-good
this-isn't-right-somebody-call-a-doctor!"
[Now back to normal] Applesauce! Get me a cookie when I want it." I can tell that this guy is a hungry fellow in the song, and might have some sort of caffine problem.
My overall impression of the song was that some guy got really drunk, and wanted to sing the theme for the original Star Trek, but along the way, he also got it confused with Copacabana, and then realized that the Star Trek theme didn't actually have lyrics, so he screamed about his big-toe pain along the way. The end result happened to be catchy, so he added it to his R'epertoire.
And thank you for actually commenting on one of my posts. The last one of those to happen was April 21 by Paul.

hahaha, thank you very much for your comment. By the way, the vocalist is like 40 years old. Also, the reason I really like this song is because it starts off really silly (like I said, about how he found a cat but turned out to be a piece of bread), but turns into kind of a deep philosophy on perception. It's really cool, if I ever find a translation I'll let you know (it will be hard because this band is hardly known even in Japan).
