God Bless Japan
For some time, my friend Christopher and I have been infatuated with the song “Tokyo Storm Warning” (Track 3 on the Elvis Costello and the Attractions album Blood and Chocolate). For the longest time, we thought one of the lines was “Japanese got Jesus robots tellin’ teenage fortunes, for all we know and all we care they might as well be Martians”—which we agreed was really a cool line. Later, we were disappointed to learn that the line is actually “Japanese God-Jesus robots…” which seemed decidedly less cool and a little nonsensical.
Until now… (Click here for a short explanation or here a cheesy video.)
You gotta love Japan.
