15 August 2010 : Written by A Camping Ninja
We went out to a party last night that was being held in a big dance tent, which was only a short walk away from the campsite, on the way there, and a much longer walk on the way back after a few pints of the local brew.
It just so happens that the song the DJ was playing as we arrived was the Die Antwoord - 'Enter the Ninja' song! Now is that just a coincidence or is that what you call making an entrance in true ninja style?! It made my night anyway and the DJ even did a re-rewind and played it twice in a row – music to my ears. Spread the ninja love DJ!
Lyrically the song's not really me and who knows what they are saying? I haven't got a clue. It's a completely different dialect to the ninja that I speak and he is much more of a fierce ninja than I am, but I like it! And yes, I did do the dance. You know, the butterfly arms and the ninja moves – I think I managed to pull it off as well!
I don't know all the words and I kind of like to make up my own, and the song is about a Samurai and I'm a Camping Ninja so I change the words to Camping Ninja and make it more like me. It's a bit of a mouthful to squeeze in the extra word, so you have to say the 'Camping Ninja' part very, very fast at ninja speed!
So I sing like la la la la la la la, enter the Camping Ninja. Sing it with me if you know this one...
I am a Camping Ninja
Blah blah blah blah blah blah a Camping Ninja
When I was a boy I wanted to be a ninja
Now I am a man, now I am a Camping Ninja
Fight like a ninja (actually, I've never tried!)
Camp like a ninja
Look like a ninja
I am a Camping Ninja
La, la, laa, laa laa laa la la la la la la la ooh wee - Oh no, wrong song! I've got myself in the mix. I must still be drunk from last night. Where's the DJ with the song to save my life?
If you want to dance along yourself too, you can check it out here...
It does have the love it or hate it Marmite effect, but it's the ninja song of the moment and they don't come around very often, so being a ninja, I've got to love it. And in my eyes, nothing will ever be as bad as the Carrot Tempura the other night!
P.S. Yes all the butterflies at the campsite, I will protect you.
