Beatles cover song identification

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.

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?

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.

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).
