[center][h1]Day 03 - A Song What Makes Me Laugh[/h1]

Cibo Matto was always kind of a weird band but weird in that catchy, funky, fun kind of way. It's the brain child of two Japanese women, Miho Hattori and Yuka Honda, the former of whom was the first voice of Noodle in Gorillaz. In 1999 they added Sean Lennon (John Lennon's son) and Timo Ellis and performed as a quartet and released 'Stereo Type A' their second album (Viva La Woman, their first, is an amazing album too). In 2014 Cibo Matto released a new album with just Yuka and Miho called 'Hotel Valentine' and it's a 'concept album' in very loose terms about ghosts and aliens that stay in a hotel. Because [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YfZqjcfXlY]Yuka Honda and Miho Hattori are kind of fucking crazy in the best possible way[/url] and a concept album about ghosts and hotels is just par for the course with Cibo Matto. 

MFN (Motherfuckin Nature) makes me laugh for a couple of reasons. The first being that they got Reggie Watts to guest for like fifteen seconds of him playing a trumpet sound and a minor voice spot. The second because it's a song about a ghost being an asshole in a hotel sandwiched between a song about isolation being the norm or whatever. 

[i]Yo, I'm a ghost, I'm stuck in this place[/i]
[i]Don't chase me, I blazed a joint while you were deep with sleep
Cuz the room service was dead slow, it got no flow
You ate oyster, lobster, french bread and butter
You hallucinated, liberated, fascinated, vibrated, tolerated
The chocolate melted[/i]

And the part that always makes me laugh is just the visual image of Miho shouting 

[i]Don't tell me "what the hell?" I'm a ghost
Don't throw the fucking oyster shell at me[/i] 

Just...a ghost being pissed that housekeeping is throwing oyster shells at him because he's an asshole.


It makes me laugh and also the world needs more Cibo Matto. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLa_YrzFhW8]Keep on being[/url] fuckin [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErcGfrKaQRc]crazy awesome[/url] you [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7v2LWBvNt4]beautiful people.[/url][/center]
