Or: “FUGU ME! FUGU ME!” :-)

I hope someone more talented than I am will set Leo’s “Ode to Sushi” to music. :-) Hey, didn’t some band have a single “Sue Sue Sushi” back in the Eighties?

Japanese blowfish?

LOL!

We eat the slimehead. (Orange Roughy)

More Wasabi!

For the benefit of ethnomusicologists out there, the song was “Sushi Girl,” by The Tubes. They also did a warm ballad called “White Punks on Dope.” Sushi lyrics follow:

Sushi Girl The Tubes Lyrics

Skating down in ShinjukuWhen I smelled love in the airRolling by the pagodaThe fragrance floats from somewhere

Will my Suki find me in timeOr will her sushi spawnThe odor drives me out of my mindThe scent goes straight to my prawn

Su-su-sushiMushi-mushiCherry blossom and riceSu-su-sushi she’s so nice

Recklessly I order awayThis one thinks it’s still swimmin’Tail and fin she dives right inWho could ever want more

Su-su-sushi (sushi girl)Mushi-mushi (sushi girl)Cherry blossom (sushi girl) and riceSu-su-sushi she’s so nice …
