"Nagasaki" is an American jazz song by Harry Warren and Mort Dixon from 1928 and became a popular Tin Pan Alley hit. The silly, bawdy lyrics have only the vaguest relation to the Japanese port city of Nagasaki; part of the humor is realising that the speaker obviously knows very little about the place, and is just making it up. It was one of a series of US novelty songs set in "exotic" locations popular in the era starting with Albert Von Tilzer's 1919 hit "Oh By Jingo!"; "Nagasaki" even makes reference to the genre's prototype in the lyrics. Even more directly the song "On the Isle of Wicki Wacki Woo" was written by Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn in 1923.

  • 「ナガサキ」(Nagasaki) は、1928年に発表された、とによるジャズ・ソングで、ティン・パン・アレーのヒット曲として人気を博した。 馬鹿げた下品な歌詞の内容は、日本の港湾都市である長崎市とは、ほとんど無関係である。この曲は、「エキゾチック」な場所を歌い込んで人気を博した、アメリカ合衆国における一連のノベルティ・ソングのひとつで、その起源は1919年ののヒット曲「オー・バイ・ジンゴ」とされているが、「ナガサキ」の歌詞には、この原型への言及も盛り込まれている。さらに直接的な曲として、「On the Isle of Wicki Wacki Woo」が1923年にウォルター・ドナルドソンとガス・カーンによって書かれている。 は、『タイム』誌への寄稿で、「ナガサキ」について次のように述べている。「さあ立ち上がってチャールストンを踊らなきゃという感じの決定版のような曲で、ウィレンの生き生きとしたシンコペーションは人々をダンスフロアへと導き、モート・ディクソンの歌詞は彼らをへと駆り立てる。'Hot ginger and dynamite / There's nothing but that at night / Back in Nagasaki where the fellas chew tobaccy / And the women wicky-wacky-woo'」。 (ja)
