Chinese boys from the back street want it that way also

Okay, maybe it's due to sleep-deprivation or overly-stressed delirium, but I saw a clip of these two Chinese students lip-synching on the Today show this morning (in the seven minutes of news that I watch while I'm drying my hair* - provided that I'm up early enough to actually dry it) and I could not stop giggling at them. I still can't. I'm not entirely sure what makes it so funny to me - maybe it's their impressive choreography at the beginning, or their matching jerseys, or the oblivious guy in the background, or their exaggerated expressions. Or maybe it's the unstoppable force that overtakes Chinese Guy #2 (a.k.a. Yao Ming, who can, in fact, write a check), rendering him unable to hold back the headbanging in the middle of the song. Which is, to reiterate, by THE BACKSTREET BOYS. I have their Greatest Hits album shut up, so I know that it's not supposed to inspire headbanging.
Anyway, go watch. You may be amused as I was/am/will likely continue to be.
*Seven minutes also happens to be the amount of time that I can tolerate Katie Couric before I want to jab a sharp object in my eye. Approximately. The time can run longer or shorter, depending on whether she is awkwardly flirting with an interviewee and on what kind of shoes she's wearing.
