Video of the Day - One of the Weirdest Music Videos Ever?

in videooftheday •  7 years ago 

This video has apparently been out for over five years now, but I don't think I have seen it before. I sort of remember the tune from an episode of The Simpsons though. The song is PON PON PON by artist Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

When watching the video my first thoughts were that she was singing about having a really bad case of food poisoning after eating a box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese with her talking about her nausea, indigestion, upset stomach, and diarrhea. I figured it out this was a music video to sell Pepto-Bismol in Japan! Apparently she found eyeball in her Mac N Cheese and it got her very sick.

Apparently that is not the case though. Wikipedia says it is a tribute to anime. I will go with that. Although after reading the lyrics I want to say she is singing about not living in the past. Live for today and have fun doing it. Don't hide who you really are and yes, let your crazy out!

I am including the lyrics below from Genius Lyrics at genius.com.

What if everyone around
Decided to go skipping all across the town?
And what if they collided in the city streets
And everyone held hands and looked up into the sky, now?
If everyone would look around from where they stand
And open up and learn to give and take a chance
Then that will be the hope to chase away my cries
So don't worry and move forward with your head held high, -igh -igh

PON PON let it out
C'mon, let the crazy show
Because if you don't
Life would be so dull, you know
Headphones on my ears
Rhythm's got me jammin' here
WAY WAY open road
Gotta make it on my own

PON PON can't you see
Boundless possibilities?
DON DON hear that beat?
Sounds like it's your heart to me
POI POI make a change
Throw bad history away
Slow and steadily
Ah-ah, you make me happy

Every day PON
Every time is PON
Jump on a carousel and don't let go
Every day PON
Every time is PON
We cannot stay like this, but even so

PON PON let it out
C'mon, let the crazy show
Because if you don't
Life would be so dull, you know
Headphones on my ears
Rhythm's got me jammin' here
WAY WAY open road
Gotta make it on my own

What if everyone around
Decided to go skipping all across the town?
And what if they collided in the city streets
And everyone held hands and looked up into the sky, now?
If everyone would look around from where they stand
And open up and learn to give and take a chance
Then that will be the hope to chase away my cries
So don't worry and move forward with your head held high, -igh -igh

PON PON can't you see
Boundless possibilities?
DON DON hear that beat?
Sounds like it's your heart to me
POI POI make a change
Throw bad history away
Slow and steadily
Ah-ah, you make me happy

Every day PON
Every time is PON
Jump on a carousel and don't let go
Every day PON
Every time is PON
We cannot stay like this, but even so
