Turnabout is fair play, but

not necessarily fair of result.

Gwen, not only was
your cover inspired song not as good as the originating cover:

Rich Girl - Louchie Lou and Michie One



but you were almost two and a half decades late on your harajuku girls' fad. (Side note: Once again, we see the lack of knowledge of the superb 80s music, this time by people who were down on Gwen for her promotion of stereotypes. I, of course, remember watching this on TOTP...)

Japanese Boy - Aneka



(Please note the hand gesture depicting 'slanted eye' around 0:52, and the high-ranged, stilted accent, especially during the chorus. Only the 80s, man.)
