The Nipple Song Hits Japan

And we got (some of) it on tape...

 

Next to being elected Speaker of the House for the 2000 Missouri Youth In Government mock legislative session, this was probably one of the greatest moments in Adam's life.

Adam, Lara and Derek found a sweet jam bar in Kyoto one rainy night using the "pop-in method." The pop-in method boils down to going down random alleys, up random staircases and into random hallways and opening up every door you see. Since we couldn't read Japanese characters and most bars in Japan are very small, horribly marked, and are below ground or several floors up, we spent our evenings performing pop-ins in order to find fun places to go. 9 out of 10 times we struck out, opening a door to find a room full of stacked furniture, an empty restaurant with owners pleading for us to come in, or some sort of seedy establishment who probably thought we were there to film 3 Americans 1 Cup.

So we found this sweet bar, and 5 minutes after we sat down half the people in the bar went up on a little stage and burst into a full-out show:



We ended up chilling there until Adam was sufficiently drunk enough to bust out the Nipple Song. The folks there gave us a bunch of demo CDs, making us certified hipsters in 2 countries now.

This post is dedicated to Nick Fogle (number 1 appreciator of the The Nipple Song) and Aimee Lehto-Schewe (genius who suggested pop-in method to us).
