Yuri The Only One by the Leet Street Boys is not a pop love ballad full of geek/otaku references, but a pop ballad about a Yuri Fan explaining to a girl who is interested in him that Het Is Ew.

It's all kind of obvious if we analyize some of the shout outs.

• First, the title. It clearly states that the male singer is only interested in Yuri.
• "Like a persocom I'm teaching you." Teaching her that Het Is Ew.
• "Like a Pokémon I pikachu." I'll look, but not touch.

• "Like Gundam SEED you're my destiny." Considering the reputation of Gundam Seed Destiny, that is not a compliment.
• "For Yuna and Zelda and Chi I'd do anything." If it's a love song, why mention three other girls? Unless he wants yuri of them.
• "Yuri the only one for me." Once again, we have the singer claim to be only interested in Yuri.
• "Priceless Like a PS3" and "You and I make Nintendo Wii." If the girl has the market value of a PS3, but her physcial specs plus the singer's are equivlent to a Wii, then the girl is seriously overpriced.
• "You're my Angel out of Tokyo-3." First off, due to Hype Aversion and Internet Backdraft, comparing anything to "Evangelion" is probably not good. Also, that implies that the girl is an Eldritch Abomination dripping in Freudian and Religious symbolism, quite likely to turn around and Mind Rape you at any point in time.
• "Cell-shaded face in an AMV." No AMVs make good use of Cell shading on anything that wasn't cell-shaded before.
• "Just like Ranma you're the better half of me." Ranma hated his genderbending.
• "Sephy's Mom has got it going on." Okay, this part is a Big Lipped Aligator Moment, but it still has the singer mentioning the appeal of another woman sort of.

are we really going down that route, Odradek

Calica

the thread title brought to mind 'Fly Me to the Moon', 'For the Love of Life', the electronica in Appleseed, the Satie in the Haruhi movie, the bit on the other side of the gate in the first FMA with Beethoven's 5th, the widespread use of English in anime lyrics

i have absolutely no idea what this thread is about

the goal was roughly "you thought this thread was going to be about Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, but it was me, Nickelback and Phoenix Wright!"

it became...this
