Didn't see a thread on this song so I thought I'd post one.
Has anyone heard it yet? What do you think of it? Personally I think it's quite good, clever concept really.

I thought it was quite funny, its been played for a good while on Radio 1.

I cannot hear it though without thinking of Jesscia Rabbit singing it in the excellent film "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit"

I like it, but its one of those songs that gets very old very quickly.

I think the video's quite clever. I read somewhere that the gi in the video's actually real but just edited to look like old tv footage I think. It freaked me at first but the song's growing on me.

I heard it about a month ago and I'm still undecided. On one hand I think its catchy and infectious but then on the other hand I find it quite boring and repetetive

I heard someone on Radio 1's review show liken it to Singing In The Rain by Mint Royale (in terms of concept) only with really bad production, and I agree with them really. I like the idea but it doesn't quite work, the way it's edited together is not well done.

I remember that song, wonder how long it will take the concept to take off though?

Must be popular then if they're playing it a lot!
