Sukiyaki Song

Sukiyaki Song

Ue wo muite, arukō goes the best-selling single of all time.

U.S. hit in 1963, and my first karaoke tune in 1989.

My first time enjoying the stewed beef-veg-in-broth,

Courtesy of an off-duty nurse who seduced me

With food.

Am I so easy?

Japan, where I first heard Brazilian music, and

Fell head-over-heels in love

With Bahia beaches and Lambada,

Courtesy of an off-duty nurse who seduced me

With music.

Guess I'm a cheap date.
