I'm going to New York City today for an appointment, and in addition to my routine book store trawl, I'm going to try to stop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Art of the Samurai exhibit.
So today, in lieu of an entry, I bring you a video that has apparently traumatized generations of Japanese children!
Translation:
The angel statue on the marble pedestal
Leaned over and whispered to me,
"At night, it gets cold in here.
Won't you lend me your clothes?"
Time travel is so much fun
At the Metropolitan Museum!
If it would be all right,
I'll give you one of my red socks!
In Egypt, the Pharaoh sleeps,
Wrapped in a bed of stone.
I tried to call out to him, but still
He lies in a dream that's lasted 5000 years
Time travel is so much fun
At the Metropolitan Museum!
Okay; I'll just leave set this here,
An alarm clock for you!
A violin case...
A trumpet case...
Who needs to pack a trunk?
I'm ready to go!
Time travel is so much fun
At the Metropolitan Museum!
It's all locked up
In all our favorite paintings!
(That last line could also mean, "I'm trapped in my favorite painting." Which further explains the trauma.)
