And now, Bob Biter presents: "Top 10 English songs to use during karaoke sessions in Japan when you want to let the locals in on it":
10) Carnival - The Cardigans (much to my surprise)
9) Close To You - The Carpenters
8) (I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You - UB40
7) Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler (much to my chagrin)
6) Mr. Roboto - Styx (you lose most of them after the Japanese part in the beginning, but they can sing the "Secret, secret, I gotta secret" part)
5) Blitzkrieg Bop - The Ramones (makes up for the Bette Midler song)
4) Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley
3) Yesterday - The Beatles
2) Imagine - John Lennon
And the No. 1 English song to use during karaoke sessions in Japan, when you want to let the locals in on it...
GHOSTBUSTERS!
No words can describe the cuteness and fun factor involved in seeing and hearing a bunch of J-girls screaming "Ghostbusters" in their Japanese accent!
- "When there's something strange, in the neighborhood, who you gonna call?"
" GHOSTOBUSTAAH!"
Awesome.
Edited: because I can't distinguish my Beatles from my John Lennon!
