🎵 (youtube) Kyu Sakamoto «Sukiyaki»
MANY years ago, I had a list (and even burned a CD) of what I called «summer songs» – dance songs, pop songs, earworms that become popular over summer holidays and then spread even further when everyone takes them home and passes them on – Aqua’s Barbie Girl would probably be the most famous example – but long before I even started that list, one that hit my parents’ generation was Sukiyaki – in reality, Ue o Muite Arukō by Kyu Sakamoto – but the original title was too much for Anglophones to handle and so the word «sukiyaki» got randomly slapped on
