Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Yeah, how could I NOT enter a song that has my name in it? Lyrics are posted below. Not sure what the Lips had in mind when they wrote this, but I kinda always saw the pink robots as the conforms of society and doing what society expects you to do...and Yoshimi as the person to break those bounds by following the road less traveled. (Note City of Boston on the back of her gi - well...it says in the song she works for the city...I just picked Boston because...well, see my avatar...)
My entry for Musikizmylife's contest.
Her name is Yoshimi
she's a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body
'Cause she knows that
it's demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them
Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins
'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them
Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi
'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them
Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi
