video: "asians in the library" response by kt tatara


Comedian/actor KT Tatara coming at you with yet another rap response to this whole "Asians in the Library" debacle, aka The Biggest Mistake of Alexandra's Wallace's Life. This one features hordes of Asians, libraries, and an Alexandra Wallace lookalike -- filmed on what looks like the actual UCLA campus. Take a look:



Here are the lyrics:
When I wake up in the morning I'm so confused
Got dirty clothes everywhere, don't know what to do!
Put on a shirt, from the bookshelf
'Cause I've never been taught, how to fend for myself

I'm kinda hungry but I can't cook
Do I even have food? I don't know where to look!
Then I hear a ring, who could that be?
So I open the door, it's my extended family! (Ohhhh!)

Ching chong, ling long, ting tong (Ohhh?)
Ching chong, ling long, ting tong (Ohhh...)
They all look the same but they can't get along, singing
Ching chong, ling long, ting tong (Ohhh!)

I go to school with hordes of Asians
That don't know manners for any occasion
It's finals week, so I hit the library
...What rhymes with library? (Ribrary?)

I'm checking out girls from overseas
When I see white girl sitting next to me
And she's about to reach an epiphany
So I pull out my phone, dial home and say!

Ching chong, ling long, ting tong (Ohhh?)
Ching chong, ling long, ting tong (Ohhh...)
They all look the same but they can't get along, singing
Ching chong, ling long, ting tong (Ohhh!)

Ching chong, ling long, ting tong (Ohhh?)
Ching chong, ling long, ting tong (Ohhh...)
They all look the same but they can't get along, singing
Ching chong, ling long, ting tong (Ohhh!)
If you really like the track, it will apparently be available on iTunes soon. For more from KT Tatara, check out his website here and his Facebook page here. (FYI: this is likely the last "Asians in the Library"-related item I'm going to post for a long time.)
