A Song To Make You Smile: "Odoru Pompokorin" by BB Queens

I was watching BB Queens performing their wonderfully catchy song “Odoru Pompokorin” (ending theme song for the classic and everlasting "Chibi Maruko-chan's first series) on the great old "Yoru No Hit Studio" show, and suddenly wondered, "Hey, just how successful WAS this single when it actually came out?" 

 I knew the song had some popularity (just by watching Chisato Moritaka, Akina Nakamori and CoCo all onstage and singing along with BB Queens for a genki performance on an old Music Station clued me in to the song's endearment) but I wanted to know how MUCH! Time to go onto wikipedia nd do some studying...

MAN, what a surprise- Odoru Pompokorin (Dance the Pompokorin) was #1 Song of 1990, 1990's Record Taisho Song Winner AND it was a Certified Gold seller?! WOW… this was truly THE POWER OF CHIBI MARUKO-CHAN!

Sing Along with BB Queens!PA PA PARAPPA!
