Anyone who's ever seen Gundam or Robotech... The future is here.

For your daily fix of music videos with fighting robots ...

Is it me or does it sound like that was either a poorly written karaoke song, or just a poorly written and sung song in general?

Those almost match up. Start Gangnam Style and hit play on this one right after the noise starts.

Soon the aliens will realize we're becoming smart enough to be a threat and will engage us. War will be upon us soon. And it wont be from people from iraq... Some distant planet that wants to own our planet. I'm excited.

Played the video. It took my wife 15 seconds to yell from the other room, "That's Ming Mae from Robotech! That's when she was on the battle ship singing for Rick!"

I've never seen the show though.

For an extra 150k you can get a bullet proof housing.

Give your wife some brownie points. Lynn Minmay it is. The song itself is not karaoke although I'm sure there were probably some karaoke versions at anime conventions in the 80s and 90s. Unlike Ronin, I don't think it was poorly sung, the actual soundtrack and video don't have all the distortion in that YouTube cut -- it's hardly the quality of the anime J-pop on Kimagure Orange Road or Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex but I prefer it to the original Macross song in that sequence, "Zoom Zoom, My Boyfriend's a Pilot". The singer was also trying to emulate being a 13-year-old girl so I think intentionally tried to keep the tonal range high.
