Western pop music roundup: A comprehensive introduction to famous international pop songs (51–60)
I’ll Be ThereThe Jackson 5
Released on August 28, 1970, this song by The Jackson 5 showcases the remarkable vocals of a young Michael Jackson.
The lyrics seem open to various interpretations, but if you end up arguing while in love or nursing a crush, it would be wonderful to make up as quickly as in this song.
It warms the heart to hear a love song that promises to come running whenever a distant call is heard.
Private EyesDaryl Hall & John Oates
It’s an evergreen classic from the ’80s.
The soaring falsetto and distinctive guitar sound stand out, and John Oates’s claps are especially snappy.
The part in the latter half where he squeezes his eyes shut is adorable.
HappyPharrell Williams
It was a massive hit for a while, and I imagine many people heard it everywhere around town.
With its rhythmic melody and jazzy home-session vibe, it’s a very stylish track.
The groove is great, so even people who don’t usually listen to Western music might find it easy to enjoy.
Dancing QueenABBA
A classical melody with a touch of nostalgia and the harmonious voices of four men and women make this song pleasing, and it remains popular even today.
Watching the music video of the four singing so joyfully makes the viewer feel happy too.
It’s said that even Madonna was influenced by it.

Crazy For YouMadonna
Speaking of the Queen of Pop Madonna’s love songs, isn’t it Crazy For You? Written for the 1985 film Vision Quest, it was released as Madonna’s first ballad.
Beat ItMichael Jackson
It’s one of the signature songs by the Prince of Pop, Michael Jackson.
It carries the message that we must not take lives through violence.
I’ve heard that the person who choreographed Thriller also did the choreography for this song.
Even people who don’t understand English will find it very easy to get into.
Baby IAriana Grande
Here’s a track from the new pop star Ariana Grande, whose small frame produces an unimaginably rich singing voice.
It’s a song packed with her coquettish charm.
