Japanese Cha Cha Rumba Mambo Conga

One of our cousin sites is the "Oddball Music Blogs" on Facebook.  Run by a former PCL Alumni.  Like Jan.  She started a delightful blog in 2006 called  "Schadenfreudian Therapy". From her profile "I love good music and I love bad music, but I think I love the bad music just a little bit more." Well IMO she has PERFECT taste.

Comment from the original post. "A few years back I came across some of these vintage 1950-60s Asian (mostly Japanese) pop songs, and managed to lose them despite my best efforts. So I was thrilled when they recently reappeared in my life—with many more new songs I’d never heard. Some highlights: Michiko Hamamura’s cover of the Lord Melody song “Mama Look a Boo Boo”; “Unfinished Rockambo” by the Black Cats; Izumi Yukimura’s “Mambo Italiano”; and “Tokyo Conga” by Toshiko Yamaguchi. Hope you dig ‘em as much as I do. "
