Rebel Girl you are the queen of my world.

wolfknuckles found this and posted in our little make-fun-of-sectarians LJ group. I believe it deserves a bigger audience.

I'm glad someone finally made a video for this song. And who better than the Maoist International Movement to visually interpret it?

Not that everything revolves around Lance Hahn, but he once told me how much he wanted to cover "Rebel Girl" in J Church but that he couldn't figure out how to do it without it being misinterpreted. He didn't want people to think he was making fun of a song he really loved.

it's pretty dormant. but there's the occasional gem like this that makes it all worthwhile.

[pantryslut.livejournal.com]

Oh. Perfect.

I think they need more quick cutting. but otherwise yes! Mao said, "Don't let the J word jealousy kill girl love" right?

Not exactly laughing out loud, but...

...My co-workers must be wondering why I'm giggling at my desk.

nice!
one of dan's old bands covered a bikini kill song. it was not well received, i must say. the only people who enjoyed it were those of us who knew them and knew the intention. everyone else boo'd and hissed.

yeah, there would be no winning with that. Not back then, at least.

[the-living-end.livejournal.com]

it was absolutely a poor choice. they just didnt think it through very well, being 18 and all. ha. i think they performed it maybe twice.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

oooooh, that'd be awesome. I've never seen that. In fact, I wouldn't mind a VHS copy if you get the time someday.

wait, was that Lucy's documentary? I thought that had a different name.

I love it. It adds a whole new layer of earnestness to RG.

:) Well I didn't say where that level was located.

Having read a number of their video game (http://www.etext.org/Politics/MIM/bookstore/vgames/moo3.html) and film reviews (http://www.etext.org/Politics/MIM/movies/long/shrek2.html), and now with this video, I can only conclude that MIM is a brilliant hoax, perpetrated by our generation's most skilled comedy innovators.

I choose that interpretation too!

[walktheplank.livejournal.com]

Does this qualify as softcore Maoist porn?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

I think only paintings of Mao qualify for that, officially speaking.

you just totally made my day

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Yay!

My toddler loves it. She watched and danced for the whole song, which is impressive for her attention span.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

"Mommy, Mommy, play the Rebel Song again!" awesome. I'm glad you're raising a child with good revolutionary values.

The video itself made me very happy, but now that I know kids are dancing along, my evening is complete.
