I just learned a rough translation for some of the lyrics to Banana Mango High School from an expert. Something like "all morning at high school I can't stop thinking about eating your banana, and then at lunchtime you can eat my mango." And more variations on that theme.
Those girls seem to really like fruit!

Hey, the Glasgow Tiki Shakers are playing at Don's tonight:

and they have a pretty Asian lady with a great smile playing bass.  (Hi Joyce)
Here's a picture from the Rincon Room. You can't see her face, but you can see her great smile!

I was there tonight and they were great and Joyce is adorable and cool but GROG needs to stop bringing reality into The greatest thing in the world.

The internet police removed my favorite video! (blast their eyes!)
But, there is always other good stuff!

Here, Lucas. Maybe this version will help. Costumes aren't quite as nice as the previous one that got deleted:

And there's always the Cowgirl version:

Sabu, sir...I salute you! The cowboy version is the BEST so far! I almost want to believe she was actually winking at ME in one section of the song!
As I watch, I can't help but imagine that the person who is really singing on this song probably looks nothing like these girls doing the dancing....kind of like with bollywood movies, many times it's some old lady really doing the singing...but then, this kind of negative thinking kind of ruins the whole effect, and now I must kill myself.
But wait! There IS always Lucy Liu!
Crisis averted!

After conducting a detailed scientific analysis of this video, it is my opinion that the backing vocals are all taped, but the girls are actually really singing along live. My ears are pretty good at picking up these types of things. And yes, I am obsessed with this group, so stop bugging me about it.
