Vodka Collins, Roppongi Roppongi

The Tokyo based veteran Japanese rock band Vodka Collins do a song from their album "Pink Soup," titled "Roppongi Roppongi." This short clip is only a snipet of the song. At the club Sweet Basil in Tokyo.
Lyric from the Pink Soup CD jacket-

"Making love in the station,
commuters passing by
at 8 o'clock in the morning
nobody blinked an eye,
no no no!
It could only happen here,
in Roppongi!"
Chorus
"Roppongi Roppongi
honky tonky heart of Tokyo soul
Roppongi Roppongi
let your hair down and get in
while the good times roll
Roppongi Roppongi
Seventh Heaven!
Club Flamingo!
Roppongi Roppongi
West Side, and Cadeau
Roaring 20s!"

words & music:
(Alan Merrill)- 1996- Tugboat Music Ltd.

They changed the street signs in Roppongi from "Roppongi - High Touch Town" to "Roppongi Roppongi" !! So, songwriter Alan Merrill's influence is everywhere! Even Tokyo city planning. lol

This was about 12 years ago! The drummer has since passed away. Well, at least the music lives on!

@whataracket - Vodka Collins lead singer Alan Merrill will be in Japan this August 12th 2010 to perform at the Joe Yamanaka benefit at Club Crocodile in Tokyo. He will be on stage with Monsieur Kamayatsu and Take Yokouchi founding members of Vodka Collins, so it will be a kind of band reunion.

Something very Clapton and Stones mixed in here. Cool!

[thickmickslick]

Rock 'n' roll!

I adore the guitar bits! The "In Crowd" reference is brilliant.
