Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang by the New Zealand band Monte Video and the Cassettes was a hit single of 1982 and 1983. The single appeared on the 1983 album ''Monte Video'' (Mushroom Records) 〔(Club Bizarre Page on Monte Video and the Cassettes ) retrieved 10 January 2007〕 To celebrate the song 20 years after its release, a cover of the song was done in 2002 by a New Zealand band, Spacial Verb, featuring employees of the then New Zealand radio station, Channel Z. == The story in the song == The song is hard to understand without viewing the video. The man goes to the bar and meets a girl. The girl takes a liking to him. They start to get closer and when he gets to the close dancing stage of the night, he gets a nasty fright. Apparently he has picked up a transvestite. By then it is too late, and the transvestite is dominant and aggressive and won't let him go. The subject tries to make excuses to get out of having to go. The video shows a number of transvestites in the bar using body language to convey threats of physical violence should he try to reject the offer of sex. The subject then tried to make excuses and evade the transvestite, but he does end up (submissively) going off in a car with the transvestite. The Spacial Verb/ Channel Z version of the video and song exclude gang mentality, and show only the one transvestite as being aggressive and violent, but in this version the bar is exclusively full of transvestites (apart from staff and band), making the humour more obvious: it's absurd that a heterosexual man would mistake that bar for a good place to meet women. Its dark humour, with a similar (but not exactly the same) situation used for comedy in various movies such as ''Police Academy''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
