Do it Rockabilly-san

Cultural evolution fascinates me, especially seemingly dissimilar cultures cherry-picking elements from one another. This isnt the best example, but I think of simple food items like Canadian Bacon and French Toast being staples in American cuisine (kind of a strange descriptor for Canadian Bacon and French Toast, though I guess I set that one up with the capitalization). At some point, a very 'worldly' person or persons said to his chums ''This is bacon in Quebec!!'', or a similar scene with similar people except the bacon is bread and the place is Brittany, or some such place. (Is it possible that French Toast came from French Canadiennes, rather than French Frenchmen? C'est possible)

Anyway, here is some dumb video that is kind of funny, and somehow brings Japanese, rockabilly and Swedish pop music together and makes them get it on.
