Hmmm. I was going to be a smart a$$ and post a link to dictionary.com's entry for "song," but according to all 6 of their definitions, a song has to be sung, not just music. But we're stretching the definition here. Come on - you wouldn't want to automatically disqualify "Albuquerque" would you?

I love the Japanese version of Jurassic Park. Yes, it was #10 on my list. :P

Wow! I like the song and all, but I don't like it enough to rank it that high, especially higher than the original version. But it is pretty impressive the way Al sings so fluently in Japanese.

I think it's a funny song, even in a different language. I listened to Jurassic Park way too much, since Alapalooza was the first album I listened to. I think the beauty of the alternate language gives the song a solid leg.

It is called Jurashiku Park, and that's how I had it on my list, but apparently Dave has his own agenda. :lol:

On the back of the CD, it's listed just as "Jurassic Park." On the booklet, there's a little notation under the title that it's the Japanese version. Nowhere on the CD or CD packaging, is it referred to as "Jurashiku Park." I think that name just gets attributed to it, because, well, that's what he's sings.

Well, you have the cd. I don't. I'll take your word for it. :P
