5 Anime References in Music

DBZ and powering up like Goku references are a dime a dozen in hip-hop and rap music.
Hence, for this list we shall include NONE of that!
But we still felt the need to include this rare gem since it always cracks us up:


5. One Week by Barenaked Ladies.

Timestamp: 1:54.
Anime Referenced: Sailor Moon.
Lyrics:
" Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing."

4. Touch The Sky by Kanye West ft. Lupe Fiasco.

Timestamp: 3:31.
Anime referenced: Lupin The Third.
Lyrics:
"Yes, yes, yes, guess who's on third?
Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd."

3. Psycho by Giniling Festival.

Anime /Tokusatsu referenced: Bioman.
The word Bioman doesn't really get mentioned in the song but the entire song is a parody of this:

This video also features a cameo from a young Lourd de Veyra at 3:08.

2. Mang Jose by Parokya Ni Edgar.

Timestamp1:15.
Anime referencedDaimos.
Lyrics:
"Mang Jose, Mang Jose. 
Ang superhero na pwedeng arkilahin. 
Mang Jose, parang si Daimos din."

1. Clean by Andrew E.

Timestamp2:54.
Anime referenceVoltes V and Mazinger Z.
Lyrics:
"So listen very carefully.
I will make some simile.
Kumbaga sa robot ako ang Voltes V at Mazinger Z."

The hook is from the ending theme of Great Mazinger.

Yet another song as sampled by Andrew E.

Similar to what he did with Alabang Girls

And now listen to Black Dog by Led Zepellin.

Huy, mag-sorry ka naman kay Robert Plant.
Jowk.....

Now, we're pretty sure that there are DEFINITELY more than 5 songs with anime references in them so feel free to comment down below and share your musical knowledge with us and the rest of the world. And as always, thank you in advance.
