Where's the Beef?

Andrew WK joins the ranks of foreign rockers who've been asked to cover the theme song of the original Gundam series. Compare it to Richie "Mr Big" Kotzen's previous version here. Both suffer from what I'd like to dub the "Mobile Suit Holstein" phenomenon: given the structure of the lyrics, there's no way around having to pronounce "Gundam" as "Gunda-moo."

(And for the truly dedicated, here's the original Japanese version.)

well, more properly, going by the phonetics as heard, shouldn't it be Gandamoo?

Otherwise those darn gaijin might mis-pronounce it "Goondam" or something. :)

Better than "Gun-dumb," I suppose!
