it was meant to be like a parody or funny song, but the majority of you sees the text critically.
Ok my question is answered.
@stevec: Nice that you also considered the music, thank you.
@daryl1968: No comment on your very intelligent statement




sorry, wow you racist wanker

Waste of some ace playing and arranging and syncing vid work... BUT is it offensive ? ... F,O of course yes ... a  'parody' you say funny??  Don't think so, I agree with with he who lives in deepest darkest Wales, but maybe it's a SW thing with values ......

Cool song.  Love the arrangement and creativity in this.  Weird and odd, and totally interesting.  I couldn't understand the lyrics to be mad about them.  Oriental is just anything from the East, like art, food, and etc.  You could say there's a bit of an oriental invasion in my house, as my wife loves Asian cultural arts and crafts.  
 
Why don't you post the lyrics?  That would also help remove the ambiguity of parody or racism.

Finally someone who not only criticizes the lyrics, but focuses on the main thing, namely the music.
Thank you @Voda la Void

I enjoyed the music as well as the video - cool how you got the marching soldiers to sync up with the beat. As for the lyrical content, I have to agree with VLV in that I couldn't really make them out well enough to get the message. So I guess if I had to offer an apolitical mix suggestion it would be to bring the vocals out a bit through EQ, not just on the vocal itself but also some complementary dipping of instruments that conflict with the vocals.

Listened again, still a cool song.  Was the video taken down for a bit?

@bitflipper: Thank you. I try to fix the vocal with EQ and simultaneously duck the instruments. I'm German so i can't understand each single word of the vocals, but i have the lyrics on paper. So i can read and understand. Maybe that's the reason why is hard to hear what Eddie (Metaled) sings.
 
@VodaLaVoid: Yes, the Video was taken down and is now back again with a comment from Eddie:
mixed mastered and composed by harry c
vocals and lyrics by eddie lee schrock METALED
don't be offended its just jokes i have no problems with Asians

I also couldn't hear the words except for in one soft spot for a few seconds. No idea what it's about, so I'll just say that I thought the guitars were very cool and the mix was quite good except that the vocals need to be a little louder in my opinion.
 
I'm with Voda La Void about Oriental not being offensive. My great grandmother was Cherokee (Though I'm mostly British and Hungarian), and no one on her side of the family was the least bit upset whenever they heard people say "Injun." We all thought it was rather quaint. There are tons of people in this world just looking for things to get upset about even if they have to invent them.
