This time, I’d like to introduce a collection of amusing Japanese songs recommended for men in their 60s.

Back in the Showa era, there were lots of silly songs, but they kind of grow on you, get stuck in your head, and you find yourself humming them without thinking—there are quite a few songs like that, right?

Meow meow meowWell, you know...

Anone-none – Cat, Nyan Nyan Nyan

Meow meow meow, you know, you know

Ano-ne no Ne is a duo that originally only sang comic songs.

This song uses a phrase that Harada used as a kind of one-shot gag and that always got laughs, and it’s such a famous phrase that it’s practically synonymous with Harada.

Matsuken Samba IIKen Matsudaira

PV Ken Matsudaira - Matsuken Samba II

Matsuken Samba II by Ken Matsudaira

It might be rude to call it unexpected, but this is a huge hit and an ultra-famous song by Ken Matsudaira.

There are also versions like Matsuken Samba 1 and 3, but those have a more relaxed tempo and are completely different from this No.

2.

This No.

2 has a great groove, and it’s easy to see why it became a hit.

I baked a taiyaki.Bakufū Slump

BAKUFU-SLUMP – TaiyakiYaita

Bakufu Slump, who baked taiyaki

Speaking of Bakufu Slump, “Runner” was a huge hit, but they originally started out as a full-on comic band.

They obviously have plenty of funny songs, and this one has lyrics that play like an answer song to Masato Shimon’s “Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun,” which is pretty hilarious.

Parody Song Grand MedleyTatsuo Kamon

Parody Song Grand Medley / Tatsuo Kamon

Parody Song Grand Medley Kamon Tatsuo

From the very beginning, the first person who comes to mind as a singer dedicated exclusively to comic songs is Tatsuo Kamon.

The songs he performs are almost all humorous, and among them, his “Big Medley of Parody Songs,” which serves as the grand culmination of his hit parody medleys, is surely his signature piece.

Some people who only know Tetsuya Takeda from his Mr.

Kinpachi days might not even be aware that his group Kai Band used to sing several comic songs.

This song had a period when it came back into the spotlight after the comedy duo Judans later used it in one of their routines.
