The Japanese Jack Bauer Song

August 22nd, 2007 by James

Here’s a weird set of commercials for the rental release of season 6 of the American TV drama 24:

A Japanese voice actor [possibly Jack Bauer's voice in the dub?] sings the “I’m Jack Bauer” song, with lyrics such as “I’m Jack Bauer: strong in a pinch. I’m Jack Bauer: weak for my daughter.” It sounds somewhat better in Japanese than it does in English, I guess….
Update: Here’s full translation of the song, provided by Erika:

I’m Jack Bauer
Always in danger
I’m Jack Bauer
I never die
I’m Jack Bauer
I get pissed easily
I’m Jack Bauer
I’m actually a crybaby…

I’m Jack Bauer
To the guys who don’t confess
I’m Jack Bauer
I yell at them from really close

I’m Jack Bauer
24th is 24’s day
I’m Jack Bauer
Let’s go to a rental video place

Song 2:

I’m Jack Bauer
I don’t take orders from anyone
I’m Jack Bauer
And I drag everyone along
I’m Jack Bauer
I’m good with dealing with danger
I’m Jack Bauer
Weak for my daughter

I’m Jack Bauer
I’m an immortal man
I’m Jack Bauer
Sometimes I pass out
I’m Jack Bauer
My phone bill is crazy
I’m Jack Bauer
But my job pays for it

Thanks, Erika!
