I remembered that I hadn't read I Am A Japanese School Teacher in quite a few months... in fact, if I remember correctly, the last time I read an updated article, I was in my senior year of high school. Yeah. *long whistle* Sooo long ago. *rolls eyes* stare rolleyes
I decided to look it up for the fond memories and to see if it had updated.
... It had...
... Granted, it had updated on Gaijin Smash, which is harder to navigate because the articles are being transferred all out of order. Anyways, I'm looking in the archives, and I see a couple titles I didn't recognize, and one I did (Which led to another... (shivers) I thought I'd forgotten that weird a** porno...)
ANYWAY...
Moskau was one of the newer ones that had grabbed my attention.
A song is mentioned, and the line "Please Respect Retardia" won me over from the start, but Az's response of "Whoops! I need insurance card!" and the two singing the rest, causing Ms. Americanized to go "WTF!?" totally killed me. XD
The comments bear some research on the subject. It was a seventies disco song from a German group called dschingiskhan or something like that. XD
It was actually pretty popular, supposedly, but in all my nineteen years of existance on this Earth, I had never heard that song nor even a referrence before this night. Hence why I had to document it, of course! n_n
Now, apparently this song also has a bit of a cultural standing with AMV fans, since a Bleach AMV was made for it... O_O;

Also, here's the video I wound up watching (courtesy of Azrael himself, of course..) that, er, acquainted me with the song... XD:

... I regret nothing.

Also known as, 'The funny Japanese version'... -.-;
Don't look at me: Not a damned thing showed up, in the end. -.-
Well, now, the lyrics I posted in the prior post were for a version that Azrael and the kid were obviously VERY familiar with, as documented... XD
Now, here's THE REAL THING (translated, for you enjoyment. XD)
