THE STORY OF LADI DADI !!!!!!!!!!!

A Classic Disected into 2 Parts!

SUPER SPECIAL SAMPLE

>>Sukiyaki - Kyu Sakamoto <<

>> Sukiyaki - A Taste of Honey <<

>> La-Di Da-Di - Doug E. Fresh & MC Ricky D<<

This sample might not make sense if you only have the mp3, for a couple of reasons. You can not get the REAL version on CD anywhere as the sample was never cleared! So they snipped it.

If you listen to the song, Slick Rick's cadence is clearly altered at the line "so I said what's wrong, cause she looked upset"///

The Reason > On the original classic **From 2:47 to 3:09** Rick would sing,

It's all because of you 

I'm feeling sad and blue 

You went away now my life is just a rainy day 

I love you so. 

How much you'll never know. 

You took your love away from me.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha" /// 

Then it would return to > "now, what was I to do? she's cryin' over me and she was feelin' blue...

You are missing 26 seconds of classic Hip-Hop history right there. Find the 12" vinyl pressing, (I found one last year for $8) and rip it into your computer. Now you're part of history. [$8 for 0:26] I made my choice. End part 1.

Now getting to the history of the song.

In 1963, a Japanese man named Kyu Sakamoto recorded and released the first incarnation of this song. Sukiyaki as it was titled in the states, a/k/a "Ue O Muite Aruko" (I Look Up When I Walk) went to #1 and stayed there for 3 weeks after knocking Lesley Gore's 'It's My Party' out of the top slot.

In 1981, a disco group called A Taste of Honey was still looking for a follow-up to their smash Boogie Oogie Oogie and they decided to cover 'Sukiyaki' in name and in melody but they changed the words to make a breakup song. It went to #3 in the states, the single was certified Gold and they avoided being a one-hit wonder.

In 1985, Doug E. Fresh & MC Ricky D (as he was called back then) recorded the greatest 12" in Hip-Hop history. Side A was the Inspector Gadget-sampling club jam, The Show and b/w Side B which was Ladi Dadi. To this day, it is still debated as to which of these two songs is better. They are so different in style but equal in value. End part 2
