Ogre’s Pants

[Children’s Song] Oni no Pants / Daisuke Yokoyama
Ogre's Pants

Sung with fun choreography and hugely popular with children, “Oni no Pantsu” (The Ogre’s Underpants) actually originates from the Italian canzone “Funiculì, Funiculà,” a song that also became known in Japan under the title “Mountain-Climbing Train.” The creator of the parody lyrics for “Oni no Pantsu” is said to be Seiji Tanaka, who served as the “Singing Big Brother” on NHK’s educational program for children.

The choreography, which involves big movements of the arms and legs, is perfect for recreational activities at day-service centers as well.

Let’s dance and sing with energy to get through the cold winter!
