If there’s one Internet site to go hand in hand with Asian Americans (Xanga doesn’t count anymore, sorry), it would be YouTube, which a lot of people translate into doing covers of pop songs in hopes of getting noticed by the music industry and pushing their musical career along–or maybe it’s for those 5 seconds of viral video fame? Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about: those videos featuring the latest from Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars or Taylor Swift as performed by so-and-so with amazing talent.
And that’s exactly why I love Asian Shower Dudes because they’re bringing cover songs back to classic rock, whether it’s Queen or Led Zeppelin. Actually, it’s only Queen and Led Zeppelin right now because they’ve only got three videos up so far. That doesn’t make me lose hope though! Who cares about another version of “Born This Way” (BORED) when there are other Asians out there who can belt out to The Who, REO Speedwagon, Rush or Journey? Can’t stop believing? I won’t stop believing in Gary Luk and Michael Chan. I have no idea who these guys are but I hope the boxer-clad hits keep coming.
