Uncle's song in Kawachi (Miss Hanako) J-pop
youtube
When this song came out, I was laughing my ass off and my father, who was from western Japan and was very strict, bought the record. He seems to like it very much. The definition of "A man should be like this" sung in this song is comfortable. Well, I think it would be nice to have such a man. Kawachi is a region in the southern part of Osaka Prefecture, famous for having the foulest dialect in Japan. Japan has a large number of dialects, which is probably one of the largest in the world. But it is also true that the uncleanness expresses the beauty of the uncle's frankness and integrity. And finally, it teaches us how hard it is to live in this world.
The word "ware" that appears in this song is a pronoun for "dirty" in the second person.
河内のオッサンの唄 (ミス花子)J-pop
この曲が出たとき、笑い転げていたら、厳格であった西日本出身の父がレコードを買った。よほど気に入ったと見える。この曲で歌われる「男はこうあるべき」という決め付けが心地よい。まあ、そんな男がいても良いと思える。河内というのは、大阪府南部の地域で、日本でもっとも汚い方言が話されることで有名である。日本には方言の数が多いが、それは世界有数であろう。でもその汚さが、おっさんのフランクさ、潔さといった美質を表現しているのも事実である。そして最後に、この世で生きていくことの厳しさも教えてくれる。この曲で出てくる「ワレ」というのは、2人称の「汚い」代名詞である。

Return of Drunkard (Folk Crusaders) J-pop
youtube
It is a pioneer of Japanese comic songs. The debut work of Kazuhiko Kato, who later became active in many fields. A vicious driver who dies from drunken driving is disgusted by God, who repeatedly warned him that he would not stop drinking heavily even in heaven, and depicts a sloppy life until he is kicked out of heaven. As in the previous `` Uncle's Song in Kawachi '', dialects are used extensively, creating a sense of fun. Drunkard is a dialect of the Tohoku region, and God is a dialect of the Kansai region. Could it be that Drunkard was kicked out of heaven by God because he couldn't understand the dialect of the Kansai region?
帰ってきたヨッパライ(フォーク・クルセダーズ)J-pop
日本のコミック・ソングの草分けである。のちに多方面で活躍する加藤和彦のデビュー作。酒酔い運転で死んだ悪質ドライバーが、天国でも深酒を止めず、再三注意した神様に愛想をつかされ、天国を追い出されるまでのいい加減な生活を描く。さきの「河内のオッサンの唄」と同じく、方言が多用され、面白さを演出する。ヨッパライは東北地方の方言、神様は関西地方の方言を繰る。もしかして、方言が通じ合わなくて、ヨッパライは神様に天国を追い出されたのか?
