I set set up this channel as I've always thought my Dad should have a platform. I asked him sing a song for it... This is what he proffered - make of it what you will.

  • My uncle used to play his guitar and sing this with my aunties at parties when he had a few beers in him. We all loved it. Great memories and we all miss him.

    Love you uncle Raymond.

  • It's a song we Sailors heard often in Japan in the early 1950s. I was a 19 year old Sailor on an American Warship then and the ship came into port every month or so for liberty (Mostly Yokosuka). If you didn't get around to seeing that special jo-san you "fell in love with the month before", and happen to hit the bar she was working then she was going to be singing that song in your face. My money is on the song being of Japanese B-Girl origin -- Those were the GOOD OLD DAYS

    USN 1951-1973

  • AWH!

  • its an Polynesian song i think - maybe even traditional

  • Hi Hopkins Snr,

    My grandma has been asking me about the lyrics to this song for months and I'm so glad I found this awesome video of you singing it live! She will be so excited. Would you be able to let me know who wrote the song?

  • Brilliant!
