Sho-Jo-Ji (The Hungry Raccoon) by Eartha Kitt

[18banSEN]

Chiemi Yeri,Japanese singer sang this song good,but I like better Eatha's.

Chiemi Yeri once was a famous singer in Japan,

and her many songs were very popular among young people.

[cumcad]

Sho, Sho, Sho-jo-ji / Sho-jo-ji is a raccoon

He is always hungry / So he sings of koi koi koi

He will rub his head and tummy / Rub head and rub tum tum

Macaroons and macaroni / Jelly beans and pink spumoni

Koi koi koi, koi koi koi / All he says is koi koi koi

Sho, Sho, Sho-jo-ji / Sho-jo-ji is a raccoon

He is always hungry / So he sings of koi koi koi

Always a-hungry, very hungry / That's why he sings of koi

This song was one of the first I learned when I was in Japan in the 50s. This lady was jewel! Incredible pronunciation and understanding of what she's singing -- a true artist! As an aside, the animal is NOT a racoon! It is a wild dog of Japan. It features as subject in much Japanese folklore. Ii da yo!

I sing this song whenever we have an elderly Japanese patient and their face light up with joy. Thank you for sharing.

欧米人の東洋イメージをまんま音にしたようなこの感じ好きだな〜­！

東洋一括りにしちゃってなんかいい意味でインチキ臭いっていうか­、

きっと細野さん辺りもこういうの聴いてヤラレたんでしょうね。

[dalordofdaring]

Weyne memories .... ABABA TESfaye ... anyone who grew up in Ethio in the 90's n '00s know this song

[OptimisticHabesha]

@dalordofdaring | My cousin & I used to sing this randomly & we didn't really know the words, so a few years ago I adamantly searched for days trying to find this song... lol. wey Ababa Tesfayé, those were the golden days!! ...how I used to look forward to the Lion King, the German cartoon figure: Pumuckl, & the Japanese circus crew & the kids that were featured on the video of this song... I used to try & spin a basketball after watching the circus guy do it. lol

[artnouveauiswar]

love this! brings me back...

[SleepyShippo]

This English version is so corny, yet catchy. The original is all in Japanese and called "Shojoji no Tanuki Bayashi" and means "Tanuki Party at the Shojoji Temple" This English version says Shojoji is the name of the tanuki (raccoon-DOG), not the temple.
