I recently discovered this music video by European artist Gunther. It takes simple phrases like "Tra-la-la" and "Ding-ding-dong" and creates sexual inuendos. These words meant nothing more than spelled-out sounds or exclamations. Now they mean something else. My question to you is what does a video like this say about our worldly society, making the hypothetical statement that after all pop culture does reflect values within our everyday lives and culture. This is not to say this reflects an actual fact or my personal opinion, I'm just interested in honest and intelligent responses. What does this say about us as people, a culture, a growing and expanding, even dying ecosystem? What are our values? What do we focus on? What do we care about?

In order to view the video of Gunther's Ding-Ding-Dong, follow this link to ebaums world, right click and hit select save target as and download the video to watch it. You'll be...surprised I'm sure...an understatement to the video, but just check it out and make all the blazing mad comments you like...
