「光宙」、「楽汰」、「空翔」、「黄熊」。本書で紹介される「キラキラネーム」のサンプルだ。いくつ読めただろうか。正解は「ぴかちゅう」「るんた」「あとむ」「ぷう」。大方の感想は「親がDQNだと子どもが可哀そう」「こういうのも虐待の一種」……そんなところだろうか。しかし著者の伊東氏によれば、どうやらそれは誤解らしい。

Jim Stafford – My Girl Bill(1974/02 stereo 45)
from the album “Jim Stafford”(1974)
歌より語りのほうが長い感じ。
聞き手にゲイの男性同士の歌と思わせておいて、最後に実は2人の男が1人の女の子をめぐって争っている歌だったことが分かるという、トリッキーなオチが付く。
テンプテーションズ『マイ・ガール』を彷彿とさせる部分も。同曲の作者がスモーキーことウィリアム・ロビンソンだったので、ウィリアムの愛称ビルを用いたのでは、とも云われている。

produced by Phil Gernhard & Lobo

Charted at #91 on Billboard Hot 100 in April 1960. This was the only Hot 100 entry for this group. The singers are sisters Anne and Angela Berry. The melody comes from the spiritual song, “Kumbaya”. Choir under direction of Jack Olsen. “Someone Loves You, Joe” was recorded by the Lana Sisters in the UK. Original Billboard review: “The fems deliver a snappy reading of the march-like ditty with winning appeal. It’s done over a clever arrangement. The side has a sound, and it appears one to watch.”
Written by Strasberg and Larry Kolber.
