Arr the Singre Ragies

When I was at Yale, Mixed Company had the reputation of being the “funny singing group.” You know, as opposed to the “hot singing group” (that would have been the Baker’s Dozen, or the “BD’s” for men, and Something Extra, aka “Sextra,” for women) or the “serious singing group” (Red Hot + Blue) or the “angry feminist group” (The New Blue, to which I belonged).

But that was a long-ass time ago, kiddies. And my-oh-my how things have changed, as evidenced by Mixed Company’s current YouTube parody of Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies”:

Does the world really need another “Single Ladies” spoof? Or, for that matter, more pedestrian rice jokes? Don’t get me wrong, we rove a good lice joke. And of coulse we rove it rong time. We just don’t rove these ones.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta go make the rice and make it nice, and then shoot myself in the face for actually having to sit through that.

Thanks to all who sent this one in, you know who you are, damn you.

BABEWATCH: Yuriko Koike

Name: Yuriko Koike

Occupation: Japanese politician & former Defense Minister

Why She’s a Babe: Because the former TV news presenter (sound familiar?) and first female Defense Minister of Japan is making a bid to become her country’s first female Prime Minister. And while not every feminist is on-board with Yuriko, she’s a game-changer in terms of how the world perceives Japanese women. Also, last year, in front of a U.S. audience, she likened herself to Condoleezza Rice and told the crowd to call her “Madam Sushi,” which did not play well at home. But we love rice jokes. And sushi. And madams. And pretty female politicians. Er…with a few exceptions.
