上を向いて歩こう, AKA Sukiyaki

[houseisland]

For some unknown reason I have had the Sakamoto Kyu song, 上を向いて歩こう (ue o muite arukou, AKA Sukiyaki) , stuck in my head all day long. And a visit to Youtube has only made it worse. It has an infectious melody that you can't beat out of your head with a baseball bat. Agggghh!

Now I am going to inflict it on you:

Youtube: Nice neo-folky version by a gaijin chick with the alias Ningyoko (doll-child) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcfdH33NdZA&feature=related)

I also heard this song when I was a little kid. I believe it was played on
a John Wayne war movie.:)
