Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: open mike Date: 10 Jun 04 - 12:39 AM is this any connection to Prairie Home Companion's song writer's Icky Yucky Sushi? I forget the guitar player's name... |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: GUEST,Blackcatter Date: 09 Jun 04 - 03:05 PM Thanks for the link Masato. I found it the other day and plan to share a boit about his life at the gig on Friday. I'm lucky enough to have a passable MP3 of the original song on file. Certainly helped me clear up some pronunnciation lapses from singing it by memory from 30 years ago. |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: Blackcatter Date: 09 Jun 04 - 12:17 PM I'll be performing Sukiyaki (Original Japanese name: Ue o Muite Aruko) Friday night for the first time since my childhood. I grew up listening to it on a 45" from 1963 when it charted at #1. It is still, to this day, the largest international hit for a Japanese song. |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: Gypsy Date: 04 Apr 01 - 10:44 PM Oooohhhhh, many apologies. Meant would it be the same tune as i heard on radio. Not entirely unheard of for people to misname that which they filk, ya know. But they told the truth, and it printed, and sounded beauteous. Thank you so very much for typing in for me. |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 04 Apr 01 - 11:23 AM Of course it's the same tune! Do you doubt my knowledge of Japanese music? HAHAH just kidding! |
|
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: Gypsy Date: 04 Apr 01 - 11:22 AM Thank you ever so much! Will put into the program tonight, and see if it is the same tune. Really appreciate the time! |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: mousethief Date: 04 Apr 01 - 02:31 AM I have a WAV of the original song; if anybody wants me to email it to them, PM me your email addy. The problem I have is that "literally" is the only word we have left to mean "in truth." Truly -- which should mean "in truth" -- has come to mean "lots and lots" -- e.g. "She was truly ugly" or "I was truly pissed." Really -- which should mean "in reality" -- also means "lots and lots." Now "literally" is going the same route. We already have words -- lots and lots of them -- that mean "a whole bunch." We don't NEED another. Alex |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: Matt_R Date: 04 Apr 01 - 12:14 AM Ah, ok. I see. I copied that off a website...those are not my words, so don't go blamin' me! |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: Mark Cohen Date: 04 Apr 01 - 12:07 AM Alex, one's heart is not literally broken by a heart attack, either. That is, not in the sense that is usually intended by the figurative phrase "broken heart", that is, cracked or broken into pieces. It might be true, if you take "broken" to mean "not working right", but that makes the original phrase much less colorful. I agree with you that "literally" seems to be in the process of becoming a synonym for "figuratively", though they certainly "should" be alternatives. The Edwin Newmans among us rail at this process and others like it (and I admit I often count myself among them!), but that's the evolution of language, folks. (Matt, if you're still puzzled, he was referring to the phrase at the end of the post you linked to. Which, by the way, gives a heartbreaking (!) perspective on that beautiful song.) Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: Matt_R Date: 02 Apr 01 - 07:13 PM Um...what are you talking about? |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: mousethief Date: 02 Apr 01 - 07:04 PM Meebo, one's heart isn't literally broken by falling out of love. One's heart is literally broken by a heart attack. Nobody remembers what "literally" means anymore. Alex |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 02 Apr 01 - 11:45 AM I'm not sure!! I guess parodying is eventual...but for this one, it's almost a travesty. At least for me... Dang..I was wrong..it was 1963. See this message. |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: Gypsy Date: 02 Apr 01 - 11:38 AM My hero! Thank you so much, and will look forward to your ABC. Want the parody lyrics in exchange? |
|
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sukyaki From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 02 Apr 01 - 11:35 AM I know this song backwards and forwards! I can do an ABC for you. It actually came out in 1970, I believe. |

Subject: Sukyaki From: Gypsy Date: 02 Apr 01 - 11:32 AM LIstened to PHC saturday, and they did the parody of Sukyaki again. Transcibed the lyrics, but would really like to find the notation. Was popular in the fifties, i think. Have ABC, and can even use the program now. Anyone out there got the dots? Thanks, all |
