Tokyo goes pop!

Tokyo

Artist: 10cc
Available on: Bloody Tourists
Time Out says: A 1978 Beatlesque ballad, complete with nodding-dog piano chords, this is plenty cheesy, though there's something heartfelt in its world-weariness. We're not sure where all the 'kimonos and geisha girls' have got to, though we have a theory that maybe 10cc — being fairly big — where wined and dined in a way that most of us can only fantasize about. The line about Tokyo's 'tiny hands' is downright creepy, though. An odd song.
