Introducing DC Ozma

This will get all Americans to forget Britney, Lindsey, and Paris...

This is that notorious New-Years Eve skit from Japan. Here is what is the description according to Google:

"They're not really wearing no clothes, it's just body suits. Ok? It aired on Japanese network TV and has been ruled as acceptable for viewing. It is not obscene.

This is known as sophistry. Or lying. By watching the video, it's quite obvious the producers are not telling the whole truth. This would have been blocked out on American TV within seconds.
And, there were only 250 complaints. How many did the "wardrobe malfunction" generate?

If this DJ Ozma intended to use this to break into the US (and European) market, he may very well have succeeded. It's quite a catchy tune. And, maybe he found a way to get around all the music executives who dictate whom the kids listen to.

Here is what one commentator said:

"The song had everything!!

1. The music was perfectly cheesy and great. If that is not the catchiest, most fantastic tune of the year. I'm going to hum it around my students and see who reacts!

"2. The dancing. DJ OZMA has been watching The Producers. He must be using the same choreographer. Fantastic. The girls all leaning forward and backward. Priceless."

It takes something to break into the US market. I suspect this will be the surprise hit of the year, but will be a one-hit wonder (i.e. go away after one or two songs).
