There is such joy in the song, and the video has a hilarious combination of DIY and godzilla influence. Is it any wonder Kurt Cobain described himself as a "screaming schoolgirl" when he first heard their music?
Acabo de descubrir la banda gracias a TikTok. Me llevé una tremenda sorpresa cuando me enteré que ellas hacían una canción homenaje a las chicas superpoderosas
aunque las descubrí casi 2 décadas atrás (gracias a Nirvana), no había hecho la conexión con la cancion de chicas superpoderosas. Mencionar que la canción la exhibieron por casi 1 año en Cartoon Network (por el 2000 o 2002, no recuerdo, quizas antes)
Real easy considering the bands that were dominating were the same ones in the US like Kiss and Black Sabeth. So an American'ish styled band fit right in and these girls still preform to this day.
i sat here wondering for the longest why i loved this band while i detest basic and unneeded lyrics, then i remembered they were a ramones cover band as well, that's when it dawned on me. THEY'RE MINDLESS PUNK!!!
Vengo por una publicación de una pagina dedicada a kurt cobain donde en esa publicación subieorn fotos donde sale kurt sosteniendo una playera de esta banda sin duda kurt le sabia a la buena musica ❤
Ever hear their late '80s album "Pretty Little Baka Guy"? This song is from it, as well as the original version of "Riding on The Rocket": ua-cam.com/video/lzhnBLqO9rk/v-deo.html
This is what happened when you put Pink Lady, Siouxsie And The Banshees and The Shaggs in a blender. I have no idea if this is bubblegum pop, slyly satirical punk or just well intentioned nonsense. Genius.
Awesome that they want to go to Pluto. I know that Pluto's no longer considered a proper planet and just a K.B.O. (Kuyper Belt Object), however, when I was younger Pluto was considered to be a legitimate planet, the 9'th planet as a matter of fact. These gals know all the planets. {they name all of them in the song). I'm glad that they have such an intelligent approach to their lyrics.
Because it came from someone's VHS tape recorded off of MTV. You can even hear the host say "...Rocket" at the very beginning. It's likely that an *official* upload of this video from Shonen Knife themselves isn't ever going to happen, as they apparently don't own the rights to their Virgin-era stuff.
when MTV would show underground videos rather than force feed us what is mass produced...
Or show videos, period
they had good music on? what a time to be alive!
Had their own animated block as well. Now TV is a waste of time as it has a lot of channels with nothing but shopping channels or sports.
120 minutes was every fri night at 11:00,then went to Sunday....and alternative nation was a couple of nights a wk. .....good times😄
I miss these days
可愛い❤懐かしい❤少年ナイフではこの曲は１、２を争う好きな曲です。２０歳ぐらいの頃にハマりました。
PURE POP MAGIC!
I am here as I just watched an interview where Kurdt Cobain mentioned them. He certainly knew his POP MUSIC ! 😃
This album was released in 1992. They were in their 30s. Yet they look like barely teenagers. No wonder they are still rocking (2/3).
I met them in '09 and they STILL looked like this.
No wonder there can be many unknown songs for a person, even worse or better is that these songs are bangers
Hasta ahora las descubro...que bien se escuchan.
Estoy igual!!!

+Rhiannon K One thing about SHoenen Knife is they had a nice message that was basically "hey, there's shit to be happy about in life. Have some fun"
They still have it and, Atsuko has re-joined the band, so that 2/3 of the originals are with them again

It's as though the Powerpuff Girls formed a band twenty years before Craig McCracken ever dreamed up the PPG. I Love Shonen Knife.
Didn't Shonen Knife do a song for them or even like their theme at one point?
The band BIS did the Powerpuff Girls theme song.
Sometimes you just have to be silly
Shonen Knife did a song for the Powerpuff Girls' "Heroes And Villains" compilation. I believe it was called "Buttercup (I'm a Super Girl)".
But the Powerpuff Girls debuted in 1992, one year before this song :D
I love this band so much
Anyone in 2024?
Cheers 🍻
I downvote stupid comments.
ayo
Yes..
I've been listening to let's knife all month 🤘🤘
They should be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
AntoniusRome Fuck that corporate bullshit.
they’re super fun to see live. highly recommend to anyone. i saw them twice growing up and loved it.
Sheena is a Punk Rocker ❤
Seeing them in Karlsruhe, Germany tomorrow. So excited!
Can you imagine how hard it must have been to start a punk-pop band like that in Japan in the early 80s.
Real easy considering the bands that were dominating were the same ones in the US like Kiss and Black Sabeth. So an American'ish styled band fit right in and these girls still preform to this day.
There's a few that were around in the 80s. Nurse and "Kyaaah!" we're a few. Glam Metal was all the rage back then.
Osaka was putting out all kinds of rock, punk, and noise bands back then in the 80s and 90s. It was a real scene it sounds like.
this is a certified hood classic 🔥🔥💯💯🗣🗣🗣🗣
Fantastic stuff. Loved this as a teenager.
This very video was the first time i heard Shonen Knife, although it was a repeat showing around 1999/2000
Saw them at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark -93 , fantastic gig !
I wish 1993 had never ended...
Hello
This group rocks. Thank you so much!
Kurt cobain my life and savior bring me here❤❤
Get a life! He isn't Jesus
I saw them open for the breeders & nirvana. last time nirvana was in houston @ the astroarena/astrohall (which is also no longer with us/a venue)
i sat here wondering for the longest why i loved this band while i detest basic and unneeded lyrics, then i remembered they were a ramones cover band as well, that's when it dawned on me. THEY'RE MINDLESS PUNK!!!
A t-rex with mickey mouse-ears, BRILLIANT!
I love those girls!
Thanks for posting this!
Shonen Knife videos need to be IMAXed!
ぼくは、少年ナイフが三度のご飯よりもだいすきです。小学3年 千葉県在住。ってな感じにしてくれるミラクル・バンド・イン・ジャパン!!!山野直子さん、すごくかわいい♥♥♥
Hey ho, いきましょう！
I LIKE THIS BAND!!!
John Peel played these for a good reason :)
there is a moment a piece of Boris the Spidey of the who 😊
there film clips are soo trippy
Do they have *any* bad songs at all?
this is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
This band should make an album with the cattanooga cats or the banana splits
I LOVE JAPAN!!!
This song is actually cool as fuck
If the Ramones where Japanese girls, they would sound like this!
The Ramones were one of their inspirations.
Osaka Ramones is one of their incarnations
🤭🤭🤭🤭
Were *
well they made Ramones covers once
gawd i luv this tune
First time hearing them. Just saw a pic of them with Nirvana from back in the day. 😊
These are the coolest Asian chicks band I have seen as yet, keep on rockin'

I have to write a paper on this video >.>
Best... Video... EVER.
I ended up here after watching Weird Paul's video on this song.
AHHH!!
saw them! many years ago. they are so tiny! xxx
I saw them last week. They still rock. Well maybe 2/3 of them still rock.
So wonderfully weird. No wonder Kurt Cobain asked them to open.
This was one of those songs you had to be stoned to like appreciate it.👍🏻🤪
I can’t even fathom Nirvana actually wanting this group to tour with them! 🤯
Why? This band is great, and Cobain loved them, especially their Burning Farm record.
同じ日本人として誇りですわ。
コメ欄は毛唐バカリwww
立ち上がれ日本人!!!!?!
Did they really play in Sacramento? It's a great song! :)
They do World tours now they are doing the USA in Oct
They've done a lot of shows in the states and especially California. Saw them a couple times in San Fran
kurt cobain favourite band…
…FALLING AS FAR IN ONE YEAR, as commercial TV has in 25
Everybody Eee Koe Ohh,!!!,
Love it
Baseeeeeeddddddd 😊😊😊

This is what happened when you put Pink Lady, Siouxsie And The Banshees and The Shaggs in a blender. I have no idea if this is bubblegum pop, slyly satirical punk or just well intentioned nonsense. Genius.
yeah...love em
Absolut 🫶😁
What video was that at the end?
Las amo
:skull: i just heard this from class and every time i hear it i couldnt stop laughing :skull: :skull:
Awesome that they want to go to Pluto. I know that Pluto's no longer considered a proper planet and just a K.B.O. (Kuyper Belt Object), however, when I was younger Pluto was considered to be a legitimate planet, the 9'th planet as a matter of fact. These gals know all the planets. {they name all of them in the song). I'm glad that they have such an intelligent approach to their lyrics.
Mike Ramsey who wouldn't know all the planets? Isn't that basic knowledge. But yeah, pluto also used to be a planet when i was younger.
Not so sure Pluto's got blue-eyed cats doing the mambo on it though. However one can hope.
Make Pluto Great Again!
epic!
Even before the Beatles the Japanese with their B movies did have an influence on western pop culture .
anyone else here just because of wsc or are y'all not that dedicated

Heavier than Heaven brought me here ;)
Se dice que está fue la inspiración de Kurt cobain !!
Damn imagine being this cool at 15 years old. Lol
They were all in their late 20's/early 30's 😂
WSC anyone?
YESSS
@@rowlyop8793 yo how did your globals go
Japanese average, though! they are great!!
Seriously Kurt?
I mean they are fun to listen too like listening too the MONKEES but greatest band in the world is really, really stretching it!
Hello helllooo
heaven
LOCKET LIDE TO PRUTO!
Do not make fun of their accents, it makes you look foolish and bigotted
Shoknifeman telling people not to make fun of their accents makes you look foolish and bigoted
In what WAY, jared?? Go back to your rubber room.
Talcum X AHAHAHAAA
I think we can agree that Jared's incapable of understanding, Shoknifeman.
Japanese song

Naoko can ride on my rocket anytime she wants.
We have met the anime and she is us...!
I guess that`s more effective than waterboarding - and it`s totally legal!!!
I've got a rocket they can ride on.
If this is the official video, why does the sound suck so bad??
Sounds great to me!
Because it came from someone's VHS tape recorded off of MTV. You can even hear the host say "...Rocket" at the very beginning.
It's likely that an *official* upload of this video from Shonen Knife themselves isn't ever going to happen, as they apparently don't own the rights to their Virgin-era stuff.
Is it just me or does Shonen knife sound like a female version of Green Day?
Andrew Teichroeb Green Day sounds like a boy version of Shounen Knife
That's another way to put it I guess.
Andrew Teichroeb They were already indie legends before Billie Joe started transcribing his first Ramones cd.
***** Oh no, not at all. Green Day is as original as it gets, I'm a hardcore fan.
Uhh no???? Shonen knife are cute 'n cool and green day smell like paint thinner
