This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #implodeorexplode. The first tune that came into my mind is this classic rockabilly recording:
Wanda Jackson: Fujiyama Mama (1957)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlUFgzsGoqEThe song had been previously recorded by Annisteen Allen and Eileen Barton. Allen's original R&B version, arranged by Howard Biggs, is also quite good:
Annisteen Allen: Fujiyama Mama (1955)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CVPhWFuEJwThe lyrics (by Earl Burrows, who was better-known under his stage name, Jack Hammer) are somewhat questionable, written only a decade after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but this didn't stop Wanda Jackson's version from being a hit in Japan.
