I'm having a You Tube night. Mike and I were on the floor, barely able to breathe, because we were laughing so hard. This is the famous musical group, "Yatta," performing on the Jimmey Kimmel Show.
I thought it sounded alot like a bad version of Pet Shop Boys' Go West.Anyone else think that? Apparently that was originally a Village People song. Given the strange Y-M-C-A moves at the start and the costumes, I'm thinking that was Yatta's inspiration. I like having the Pet Shop Boys' version in my head more.
Okay, I found a video of the Village People performing Go West in the 70's. Classic! You be the judge: is this not where Yatta got the song? Just better costumes and dancing here and way more fun!

And if you want to here that awesome Pet Shop Boys' voice, search youtube for their version. It may just wash the Yatta voices from your head!
Thanks for the links, Ginny! Not sure exactly what the inspiration was for the inception of YATTA....It does seem like the Village People played a part. Also maybe some strippers.
I'm just pretty convinced that I can't watch it without convulsing in laughter......
This is the most awesome video ever. I am totally stealing it for my blog.
ReplyDeleteus! us! us! us!
The most horrible thing about it is that now this song, and it's visuals, are completely stuck in my head. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
