Japanese hardware sales, Jun. 11 - Jun. 17: Effect and Cause edition



With our deepest, most heartfelt apologies to the White Stripes. We just couldn't resist the new album and certain ... parallels.

I ain't the reason
that your brain has no reason
to understand our way
You skipped the daily training
and got shocked when you hit 80
I ain't saying I'm innocent
In fact, the reverse
But if you're headed to old age
you don't blame Brain Age
You're like a PS3 fanboy
yellin' at us
'Cause Sony's price is too high.

Well, you keep blaming me
for what you did
but that ain't all
The way we took over the charts
is enough to give one pause!
You seem to forget
just how this all started
When our faces were sodden
and we were at the bottom
Well, you just can't take
our success
and make it somehow less.

Well, you can't take the effect
and make it the cause
I didn't rob a bank
to buy all these Lites
Blame me for stomping everyone
But don't you blame the PSP!
You can't take the effect
and make it the cause.

but we want more!

combining my two of my favourite things, DS and the white stripes, you bring me that one step higher on the ever stretching stairway to heaven.

next you'll start weaving in references the the beastie boys forthcoming album. or am i asking too much?

The song weirdly does fit what's happening. Please don't do it again... I found the inspiration for Tingle. La La La Ierukana!
