You do realize that any song that mentions ‘handerpants’ will stick in your skull for the rest of your life.
You have been warned and you’re welcome in advance.

The Beaconettes stopped by Archie McPhee to sing their version of the Carol of the Bells with the lyrics changed to be about Archie McPhee. The new lyrics are by Priscilla Walker. Find out more info about Archie’s store here:
Today it occurred to me that all the fun stuff I put on Facebook is the fun stuff I used to put on my blog and because I was putting it on my blog I used to feel obligated to tell a little story- like WHY I liked this clip or that song or what it was about a picture that caught my eye.
What I do with Facebook is sort of like what I used to do with my pee-chee.
My Facebook page is just full of random things- funny pictures, videos and stuff that I think is fun to look at. But my point is, I just sort of slap things on it and walk away. Not very creative and not much fun, I think its making me a sloppy writer.
That thought has scared me enough to think that maybe I should Facebook a little less
and think about things like what would it be like to dress up as a sexy robot.
Brigitte Helm. during the making of Metropolis, 1927.
When I was a kid we used to spent almost an entire Summer at my Grandma’s house…
which was in Hawaii.
And yeah, it was rough. Really rough to have to go there.
There was a kids show that was me and my brother and sister to used to love to watch- one of the best parts was that the birthday kids got to fill this paper birthday hat up with coins and they got other prizes and I thought that was just the coolest thing ever.
Anyway, during the breaks they’d show Japanese cartoons which were always fun to watch because you didn’t need to speak Japanese to know that the kids were heroes and when they got backed into a corner by the bad guys they always got out with a grit and determination.
I liked that.
But one of my favorite shows started right after the kids show.
It was called Ultra Seven.
The Power Rangers came along years later and they were a poor, weak imitation of the Ultra Seven. It was a great idea and I guess that’s why it got copied. My kids and my nephew loved the Power Rangers and when they saw the Ultra Seven they insisted it wasn’t good because to them it wasn’t a kid’s show.
Darn straight.
Anyway.
Here’s the theme song, which I can sing but I’ll be honest.
I can’t understand a word of it, one of these days I guess I could google it and find out what the lyrics are in English, but you know what?
My niece is learning Japanese and one of these days I’ll make her listen to me sing it and she can tell me what it is in English.
That should be fun.
Until then
here’s a live performance of the song-complete with the chorus doing some Ultra Seven Moves.
