BURNING FARM song Reviews~ WATCHIN' GIRL by Michie Nakatani
This is the Shonen Knife song that I love the most; from it's driving beat, to the harmonies of the 3 originals (Naoko Yamano, Atsuko Yamano & Michie Nakatani); who are singing a kind of appeal to the women of Japan, to become more self-aware (one might even say liberated); there isn't anything about this song that I don't love! Michie's basslines (She wrote the song*) and Atsuko's drums are well complemented by some of the best lead guitar that Naoko has ever done....OOO DA OOO DA OOO DA OOO DA OOO DA OOO DA, WATCHIN' GIRL!!! ;D *I once believed that Michie was also the lead singer on this song, however, I now know that Naoko did the lead vocals (Usually Michie did her own vocals on the songs she wrote)

BURNING FARM song Reviews~BANANA FISH by Michie Nakatani A cute song by Michie (Also sung by her) about a greedy fish who ate 76 bananas from an octopus trap*, and got so fat that he was caught in the trap forever! (I have no idea whether the Japanese fishermen ACTUALLY bait octopus traps with bananas, but, I rather doubt it) * In Japan, octopi are caught in ceramic jars, called Tako-tsubo, made in such a way that they can get in, but, can't get out; in japan, octopus is a delicacy, especially in Sushi. The CD ends with live versions of Watchin' Girl and Twist Barbie; in all, a great little album and a preview of the remake album "Let's Knife", which would prove to be their best album ever. Mikey
