Some weeks ago I was at the old 99¢ store again scavaging for fun toys and the likes. I spotted the Benign Girl phone of Engrish.com fame. I sat her next to my computer and that was about the end of it. Until last night. For whatever reason, I honestly can't remember, I decided to get Benign Girl out of her package. I think I was curious to see if she had any Engrish catchphrases.



I installed the batteries and she started going on and on because the buttons were stuck. She did have one spoken phrase that sounded sort of like, "Ha ah you? Then... then.... the song. Not just any song. Not some fake Barbie song. No. No. I nearly dropped the phone in astonishment. She started playing Butterfly. The DDR song. And just the "Ay ay ay, your little butterfly," part. Over... and over.... and over.

I wish I could say I'm lying, but it's all true. I've recorded this just for you to see.

I went back to the 99¢ store after work today, but they were all gone. They did have the exact same phone with Spiderman and the Incredibles on them, so I bought those as they'd match my bootleg Incredibles and Spiderman stickers I got there. I opened them up and tried them out. And yeah.... they play the exact same sounds.
