RINGBO the riding robot is for kids, the song is for everyone
[Via OhGizmo!]
And for those of you as into the song as we are, we took the time to transcribe the lyrics:
We are down we're crazy fools
Every day at school
Teachers here, teachers there
Books and books they're everywhere!
Come on boys we need to dance
We have got a good chance
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing once more!
Everybody let's go to the game
We can dance there
Dance and eat ice cream!
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it
Sing a happy song!
Music dancing in the night
We can get so high
For no reason, no don't stop
Now's the time to take it to the top
It's a sweet and happy song
Sing all night long
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing once more
Everybody let's go to the game
We can dance there
Dance and eat ice cream!
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it
Sing a happy song!
Time to dance it's time to sing
Sing a happy song (laugh)
A happy song!
Yo yo yo!
Let's go!
Let's go boys!
Come with me and sing!
(A happy song)
Every day at school
Teachers here, teachers there
Books and books they're everywhere!
Come on boys we need to dance
We have got a good chance
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing once more!
Everybody let's go to the game
We can dance there
Dance and eat ice cream!
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it
Sing a happy song!
Music dancing in the night
We can get so high
For no reason, no don't stop
Now's the time to take it to the top
It's a sweet and happy song
Sing all night long
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing once more
Everybody let's go to the game
We can dance there
Dance and eat ice cream!
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it
Sing a happy song!
Time to dance it's time to sing
Sing a happy song (laugh)
A happy song!
Yo yo yo!
Let's go!
Let's go boys!
Come with me and sing!
(A happy song)

Robots are so 80s
roflercopterer @ May 13th 2008 3:00PM
Also....We can get so high? seriously?
_tHE_dUDE_ @ May 13th 2008 3:06PM
Shouldn't it be "Girl, We can't get much better"? Someone call Sullivan...
MeatyPi @ May 13th 2008 3:02PM
Hahaha, Hiro Nakamura looks like he loves his RINGBO.
Alan @ May 13th 2008 3:06PM
Dear God, that song freaking rocks.
Esat Dedezade @ May 13th 2008 3:14PM
That song really just pissed me off to be honest.
My speakers are now smouldering, the wires are fried and the sub has blown out.
They couldn't handle the win saturated melody.

The song is Happy Song, by Boney M

I love the way that, at the end, the synth player launches into 'Thriller', then thinks better of it. That made me chuckle.
Kris S. @ May 13th 2008 3:07PM
Why are there massive white spaces below a few articles as if ads were to go there? Uh-Oh, I hope AdBlockPlus isn't broken.

Lay your problems on the floor
Juice @ May 13th 2008 3:08PM
Pretty sweet but you can get a G'd up Escalade power wheels at Toys'R'Us for 399 or less. I imagine this is about 5 grand...
Thermos14 @ May 13th 2008 3:08PM
Ringbo FTW
WarMouse @ May 13th 2008 3:09PM
This song is giving me a contact high.
ShadowMaker @ May 13th 2008 3:10PM
To be honest I find the idea of a 66lbs 3 year old to be a bit frightening.

-your welcome
Stiv @ May 13th 2008 3:10PM
The girls in the song sound hot.

We can get so high
JJ @ May 13th 2008 7:07PM
Dude? They are KIDS....?
I hope you aren't a Priest or a grade school teacher.

Its Happy Song, by (no kidding) Boney M

Power Wheels was way better:

Pffft... Engadget is way behind. My grandmother got one of these at the Scooter Store months ago.
DarkSi @ May 13th 2008 3:27PM
66lbs for a 2-3 year old? If you have a 66lb 3 year old, they'll need the robot in order to be mobile.
Josh @ May 13th 2008 3:36PM
best music video ever.
Matt @ May 13th 2008 3:45PM
OMG, get the kid a bike please
oshean @ May 14th 2008 11:05AM
....says the Segway owner.
Doggerts @ May 13th 2008 4:12PM
Are we sure that kids hands weren't super-glued down?
grobbio @ May 13th 2008 4:13PM
why that little japanese boy keeps switching dresses! tHiS FrEaKS Me oUt! STOP IT!!!
crashoverride @ May 13th 2008 4:18PM
Come on kids, get fat-no excercise...ice cream, happy song... HILARIOUS Song to sell kids a toy to make them more sedimentary than ever....Dad, mom no time to play, stupid toy make kids happy day....touch hand to floor....LMAO
GnubiX @ May 13th 2008 5:52PM
I think you meant igneous not sedimentary.
senyl @ May 13th 2008 4:23PM
It looks like there are tiny yellow trigger buttons on top of the joysticks. What kind of weapons system does RINGBO have on it?
TASER, TASER, TASER!!
itlnstln @ May 13th 2008 4:58PM
Don't Tase me, Ho! err... Bro!!!
iamsoinsane @ May 13th 2008 4:56PM
RINGBO - Training Bobcat drivers around the world
senyl @ May 13th 2008 5:05PM
awesome, just awesome.
Unfortunately, most parents who would motive their kids to become Bobcat drivers won't have the cash to buy one of these, unless they sell some of broken down cars surrounding their trailer...
Adrenaline @ May 13th 2008 5:06PM
Fun to listening music good!!
Brian @ May 13th 2008 5:11PM
Is there a flood coming?
kris @ May 13th 2008 5:16PM
hehe, reminds me of my old fake motorcycle that went about same speed. i damaged a lot of walls but it was fun. now i an only imagine the crying children's faces as their high tech toy comes to a slow stop and dies, only for the child to have to weap another 6-8 hours.
way2trivial @ May 13th 2008 5:28PM
Looks very similar to tomy armstrong
http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&q=+site:www.theoldrobots.com+tomy+armstrong+robot
and it had arms that could life a 2l bottle of soda,
and a microphone/PA system to boot!
(and yes, if memory serves, 6 hrs charge, 1 hr run time as well)
russdogg @ May 13th 2008 5:44PM
It's all about the funky synth - bass solo at the end.
Alex Ramsey @ May 13th 2008 6:05PM
Somebody took time and energy out of their lives to make this?
What have we become?
But still, I want one REALLY BAD!!! Plus it says it's "fun to riding" so it must be good...
fanthem @ May 13th 2008 7:12PM
Man. The kid looks high in that picture. So wrong....so wrong.
Brad @ May 13th 2008 7:16PM
According to the video, it's 2 to 2.5 KILOMETERS, not miles. Just making it worse for everyone!
John B. @ May 13th 2008 9:51PM
I fail to see how this is a "robot" in any contemporary sense of the word. It looks like a Rascal Scooter for kids.
matthewmrussell @ May 14th 2008 12:19AM
The song sounds like early Chromeo... well, minus the lyrics.
Jon|Red @ May 14th 2008 1:40AM
This song reminds me of D.A.N.C.E. by Justice.
skulldriveshaft @ May 14th 2008 2:07AM
I HAVE BEEN RINGBOWLED!!!!!
Ridgecity @ May 14th 2008 2:37AM
Japan always gets the coolest toilets...
tekdroid @ May 14th 2008 4:55AM
Obstacle detection to prevent a collision at 2.5KM/h?
Safety clutch pedal?
Battery life: 1 hour.
Recharge: 6-8 hours.
Oh dear.
Cute kid.
Ghen @ May 14th 2008 7:44AM
.... except for the fact that EVERYTHING ON HIS FACE IS IN THE WRONG PLACE.
See? now you made me rhyme, are you happy?
Alex @ May 14th 2008 6:03AM
It's just a battery powered toy with eyes and sticks instead of steering wheels. This should not be taken seriously at all...
chris @ May 14th 2008 9:21AM
That is neat, where can i buy it, i saw something similar on the gift/gadget site www.gofrostfire.com
