Smoke on the Water: Asian Style

Pretty picture of smoke on the water, isn't it?  Goes perfect with the video below that I absolutely could not resist posting!  I am always tickled when I see an unexpected display of culture through music, so when I saw this video of three Asian girls playing Smoke on the Water, I was tickled pink!  (She is rocking that shamisen (or is it a sanxian?) like a rock star!)  And while you might have heard this music before and can't pinpoint where, Smoke on the Water is a popular song by the British hard rock band Deep Purple first released in 1973 and one of Rolling Stones magazine's greatest hits of all time.  Enjoy!
