"Ankle Injuries" by Fujiya & Miyagi

Song: Ankle Injuries
Artist: Fujiya & Miyagi
Album: Transparent Things
Genre: Electronica/Krautrock (whatever that is...)

Despite the band name, Fujiya & Miyagi are an electro trio from the UK. They seem to suffer from the same thing as Mike Jones because the vocals continuously go "Fujiya... Miyagi.. Fujiya... Miyagi..." to the point where I originally thought that the band was called Ankle Injuries and some moron mislabeled it.

Some sites recently called out this song's music video for being too similar to the White Stripes "Fell In Love With A Girl" music video. (White Stripes used lego pieces, Fujiya & Miyagi used colored dice) Maybe so, but the song is pretty good on its own. Reminds me a little bit of the Eels, just in the way the singer sounds.

I really want to find the lyrics for this song, because what I can hear other than the band name sounds really random. Although according to the band, the song is about "walking to school as a kid and finishing a porno mag in the middle of the road and realizing that a female's genetalia is different from a male's". Err... anyways, check out the song.
