Song #6 - Video

Aight, raise your hand if you've heard of Elvis. Or Little Richard. Or Chuck Berry. If you haven't, either you're freakin' lying and I'm calling you out on it or you're from another world so you're excused.

Anyway! They're all forms of rock and roll. Now, if you didn't know, the totally awesome inventor of that was this badass chick named Rosetta Tharpe. Seriously, she made, like, the first rock and roll record, was super popular, all that. She inspired all those guys up there, everyone's popularity combined throughout the ages made it a big thing, and there you go. Music genre.

[That is probably not exactly how it works, but Kirikou is a simple kid.]

But that's how it is in my world. Here, they still have rock and roll- I know, I've seen the CDs and all that- and it's probably in a lot of other people's worlds too. How's that happened? Did it just come around in a completely different way, like different recipes for the same thing? Or are there, like, alternate universe Rosetta Tharpes?

I dunno, just thinkin'.

Concurrent evolution? I mean the idea that alternate worlds have humans is weird enough, getting into cultural things will just make you tired.

Oh, uhm... like when something evolves to end up similar to another creature but isn't actually related. Usually because they had a similar diet or way of surviving.

Since a lot of worlds have humans, it makes since our cultures would end up similar in some ways even though they're not connected. Because humans are... well still human.
