  This is my seventh AMV and the third video in a series of videos I intend to make using a cappella music, or music that doesn't have instrumental accompaniment. All of the sounds you here in this song were done with the human voice.
  
  I really wanted to make an AMV for this series because I loved the idea that Akari is trying to make her mother proud while at the same time break free from her mothers shadow as the "greatest Cosmo Beauty". The song "Flamingo Sing" is one large metaphor which speaks about breaking free from who you are and wanting to become more, so I found it to be the perfect song for this video.
  
  The only real problem I have with this video is that the image quality isn't up to par with my other videos. Unfortunately, I don't own the U.S. release of Battle Athletes Victory, so I had to use the Hong Kong release. I've used Hong Kong releases in other videos and have never had a problem because most of my imported DVD's are from FX, but this one is from the Hong Kong release studio AV which has pretty poor video quality comparatively speaking.
  
  Please leave an opinion. My promise to anyone who leaves an opinion is that I will leave one for you if you have an AMV that can be locally downloaded.
  
  Here is the lyrics to the song because some parts are hard to understand:
  
  Ooh, Sing flamingo, flamingo...
  
  Sing flamingo, sing for the sun,
  Don't waste your worry why ain't no one listenin to your heart
  Sing flamingo, part these clouds, see some heaven,
  flap your wings and fly
  
  Born free, loves her family,
  but something just ain't right
  Likes pink, wears it nattily,
  something more is in her sight
  
  She hears such melody, flowin through the breeze
  (ooh the jasmine breeze)
  She swimmin in reverie,
  One leg on the ground, one heart in the clouds
  
  Chorus
  
  Blue sky, perfect Saturday,
  maybe now's the time
  She's shy, what'll Daddy say?
  Flamingos can be so unkind
  (Daddy gives it to her straight)
  "I know no birds have tried,
  But you've got your song that grows inside."
  
  Chorus
  
  Fly flamingo
  Cross the land go, past the mango sun flamingo
  Send me back a palm tree post card
  Go bird, don't matter what you heard
  Don't worry why, You gotta fly
  Make your heaven
  
  Chorus
  
  Fly flamingo, fly flamingo
