Man, is this an odd song, or what?<\/p>\n

She’s not a car<\/em>: “Car” in Japanese is kuruma<\/em>, one syllable off from kuma<\/em> (“bear”, but somehow I think you figured that out already).<\/p>\n

Her rival is shrimp<\/em>: Okay, at this I must admit I am utterly clueless. And chocolate in a past life? QUOI?!<\/p>\n

Ca va?<\/em>: Why is there French in the middle of this song? Just…. why?<\/p>\n

Mama bear?<\/em>: Part of that play on words with ku-ku (and ma-ma), see?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
