Kyu Sakamoto - Sukiyaki

[MargeB]

Was this song ever used in a film/advert?

[jenstar]

I shouldn't think so. That would be a really, really bad idea.

[MargeB]

Big hand for jenstar.

I believe it may have been used in a brainwashing experiment that was on telly recently where it was used to get as many people thinking and wondering about it as much possible and then at the point of saturation on the public, they would all go to the nearest forum and ask about it.

Rumour has it that they will be doing the same experiement later in the year with I'm a Celeb, Get me out of Here

[MargeB]

I work for that company (Flakes O' Bran, Ltd).

I seem to have a vague memory of this MargeB but I can't quite put my finger on it, my hand just seems too large!

I once saw a documentary film which used this song, about a non-violent Indian protester. It was speculating on his sexuality. I think it was called "Bi Gandi". Hope this solves your query.

Hi Marge - it's currently used in the '3' advert when the girl with the large hands leaves her village to go and watch basketball.....  Kind of catchy, huh!

[ROON YIN]

acker bilk hat a hit with it

[BUTTERBAN]

I wonder. why would anyone want to use this song.
I bet it would be so anoying, getting worse than the crazy frog.

I think it was used as the theme music for a series called "The Water Margins"
