Random Asian Guy Does 100 Dances with 100 Songs in 100 Locations

By Ernie | Tuesday, February 17, 2009 | 14 Comments


BOOMBOX from Ely Kim on Vimeo.

Internet, meet Ely Kim, a graduate student at Yale University studying graphic design.

Apparently, taking graduate courses in graphic design gives you a LOT of free time on your hands, because this viral video has Ely doing 100 different dances, with 100 different songs, with 100 locations in 100 days.

If nothing else, homeboy gets props from me for actually setting out to do one hundred different dances, whereas I probably would have gotten bored setting up a video camera tripod by day twelve. And while he does do a lot of the Miami booty bounce to Missy and Beyonce songs, those that DO stick through all 100 songs, dances and locations will be greeted with a VERY familiar song #100, often called the unofficial Asian American anthem in the late 90′s.

Lol! That's one interesting hobby though. I had no idea that the last song was the unofficial Asian American Anthem...it's a joke right?

Heh, Bizarre Love Triangle, unofficial Asian American anthem for the late 90s?

I've heard that since the early 90s when I was in college, and even then that was for the East Coast/modern rock Asian Am teens. I remember first hearing about that in college and was like, WTF? Guess I was too much into early 90's hip-hop to relate back then. I still think it's more of a white song than an Asian song, myself.
