Who sang the cover of the Beatles song 'Do You Want to Know a Secret?' where the lyrics were replaced with Japanese words and company names like sushi, jvc, sony and subaru?

Well, it's not a cover of Do You Want to Know a Secret, but I think you're referring to the song "Happy Fun Song" by Straight Outta Junior High.

Response by poster: LSK, similar idea, but probably 15 years older than that and definitely a Beatles cover.

You don't mean this one by Eero ja Russi Raittin?

Best answer: I am certain it was done Bowser and Blue, a comedy duo based in Montreal. I've seen this song performed live by them a few times, but can't find it on the internets.

Best answer: Vindaloo was on the right track. It is Bowser and Blue's Japanese Song (which is not the duo's finest moment, it has to be said).
