CW: Cultural appropriation [More info under the video description]
What if the music from the Nintendo Wii's "Mii Channel"... had lyrics?
With an extremely creepy bald guy singing them?
The background music was supplied by the amazing video game cover band The OneUps, and you can buy their music here: theoneups.bandc...

LYRICS
-------------------------------
(Make a Mii)
(Clears throat)
Make a Mii with me
It will be so much fun, tee hee
Just turn on your Wii
And we'll make one or two or three
(Make a Mii)
(Make a Mii)
Katie, Tom, and even Obama has a Mii on his Wii
Wait, no--
If you feel sad take a tip from me: Make a Mii
And once again you'll be happy
Everyone sees us, we have Miis
even Jesus prob'ly has a Mii
His Mii is holy
So I made a mii
Y me gusta mi Mii, si si
Because he looks just like meeeee...
-------------------------------
Back when I wrote this tune, I hadn't even heard the term "cultural appropriation." The visual of me that plays during the line "Y me gusta mi Mii, si si" seemed fine at the time, but in retrospect, it creates a joke out of a culture that's not my own. It makes a cartoon out of a group of people that, at least in the United States, are already marginalized. So while you and I may have thought of it as "all in good fun" at one time, please know that I wouldn't portray it that way today and I wish I hadn't in the first place.
