Is "Don't Mind Lai-Lai Boy" a transliteration or an actual translation of what the words mean?

Some of the lyrics are in English - it's pretty common in anime to have some words English - and those happen to be English, more or less.

Thanks--wasn't sure if those were really English words or if they just sounded like it, LOL! I've noticed some anime songs have English words thrown in--the Teen Titans song is like that.

It's a good thing, at first, at least. Then you can again join the ranks of people that can't wait for Friday. :-)

I just finished a couple of tacos and an extra buttered tortilla. Was good.

I actually find it interesting which anime don't have English words - Escaflowne, for instance, and Rurouni Kenshin use English only when talking about some foreign term. Other anime sprinkle it in almost randomly. "Lost Universe" has it all over the starship display screens!

I kinda figure when they use English words it's usually a proper name--like I've seen English words Japanese Coca-Cola ads. There's also the reverse phenomenon--"Gojira" in Japanese became "Godzilla" in English. BTW I think if you look close at the signs in "Blade Runner" you can kinda see examples of this, too.
