(Another in my Anime Filksong series, 7 out of too many. :-) )

Okay, I was thinking, suppose RANMA 1/2 made it onto TV in America.  
The producers might think, "Hey, we got happenin' little 'toon here!  
But that opening, it's too...  Japanese.  Gotta spice it up a bit."
This might be what they'd come up with (God help us...)

[Scene: Ramna does something stupid.  Akane gets so mad, steam blows 
out of her ears, making a whistling noise.]

Akane: RAMNA NO BAKAAAAAAAAAAAA! [She sends him flying]

(Bop bop ba-DA, bop bop ba-daa-da)

Tendos, meet the Tendos
They're a martial artist fam-i-ly!
With the
Saotomes
They're as crazy as a kin can be!

Next time, maybe Ramna wins the fight!
Then that
pig will stay out for the night!
When you're
With the Tendos
Have a kawaiikunei time,
You'll have a gay time,
You'll have a gay old time!

(Baaa ba-da-da, BAAA ba-da-da, ba DADA, ba DADA, ba DADA, ba DADA)

You'll have a gay old time!
AKANE NO BAKAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

(Expecting a mail bomb any day now...)  :-)
