Okay, so I just realized that Y.M.O.'s (Yellow Magic Orchestra) first single, "Computer Games" is really a cover version of Martin Denny's "Firecracker": Apparently, one of their members (Hosono) was in an exotica band in the early 70s called Happy End playing a mixture of country/western and Hawaiian music. |
