Algorithm March

If you have ever watched “PythagoraSwitch”, a Japanese educational television program, then you have probably seen the popular “Algorithm March” segment performed by Kazunari Yamada and Hidenori Kikuchi of the comedy group Itsumo Kokokara. The “Algorithm March” is a canon-style song where participants march in a line and the follower must imitate the leader. The songs lyrics describe the actions that should be taken by the leader after each step they take.

It became an internet meme but my favourite variant is “Algorithm Chores” by the New Zealand group Extreme Clean Team. Check it out.

Here are the originators, Itsumo Kokokara, performing the “Algorithm March” with ninjas.

    HEHEHE… great way to start a sunday. I loved the Extreme Clean Team’s version… but who could go past NINJA’s! I let my 3yo son watch that one… as he used to watch Pythagora Switch ALL THE TIME (and kept the other for my wife and myself). Thanks a million. ?;-)
