The Drifters’ Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

When The Beatles came to Japan, they appeared as the opening act and caused a huge stir, but in fact, The Drifters originally started out as a band.

People tend to associate them strongly with comedy, but if you’d like to see them performing as a band, be sure to look up some videos you like.

This time, based on feedback sent to our site from Beatles fans, we researched their most acclaimed songs and selected the most popular tracks in a ranking format.

We think everyone—from beginners to die-hard fans—will enjoy this.

Now, please take a look!

The Drifters’ Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

What a nice hot bath (Viva Non Rock)Za Dorifutāzu8rank/position

It’s one of The Drifters’ signature songs, showcasing not only their comedy act but also their side as a band.

Because it was used as the ending theme for “It’s 8 o’clock! Everybody Gather Round!” and “Drifters’ Big Laughter,” it’s strongly associated with The Drifters’ music, but it’s actually a cover of a song by the chorus group Duke Aces.

However, the distinctive call-and-response interjections appear only in The Drifters’ version, which makes the fun of hot springs feel even more emphasized.

The Drifters’ Big LaughterZa Dorifutāzu9rank/position

It’s the opening theme song of the popular variety show “Drifut Daibakushō” (The Drifters’ Big Laughter).

We turned the opening line, “Do-do-Drifters’ Big Laughter~,” into a parody: “To-to-Toris Highball.” It captures the unbridled, bubbly brightness of that era, expressed through Yoshitaka’s innocent cheerfulness.

The commercial became so popular it turned into a series.

Parody song of ‘Nice Hot Bath’ titled ‘What a Nice Day’Za Dorifutāzu10rank/position

"It's a good day." May the days of the elderly be good days! A parody of "Ii Yu da na" ("What a Nice Bath"): OZSPNG.100
Parody song of 'Nice Hot Bath' titled 'What a Nice Day'Za Dorifutāzu

Let’s try singing an arranged version of that classic tune you’ll want to hum in the bath! Here are some ideas for a parody of “Ii Yu da na” called “Ii Hi da na.” The original “Ii Yu da na” stands out for its lyrics depicting the scene and feelings of soaking in a bath, along with rhythmic interjections.

In contrast, “Ii Hi da na” charms with heartwarming lyrics that celebrate gentle, warm moments in everyday life—not just in the bath.

It’s a parody song that makes you feel like you can keep living brightly, energetically, and joyfully as you grow older!
