한국인들에게는 방미의 '날 보러 와요‘ 라는 곡으로 너무 친숙한 노래이다.
노래를 몰라도 한 소절만 들으면 본인도 모르게 어깨가 들썩 거릴 수 밖에 없다고 확신한다. 😎
"One Way Ticket" is a song written by Jack Keller and Hank Hunter. It was originally performed by American singer Neil Sedaka and popularized by British disco band Eruption.
The track was originally performed by Neil Sedaka and included as the B-side on Sedaka's 1959 single "Oh! Carol". In 1961, the song featured in the track listing of his third studio album, Neil Sedaka Sings Little Devil and His Other Hits, but was never released as a standalone single. Despite this, the song made it to number one on the Japanese pop charts, where it was affectionately called "The Choo-Choo Train Song".
The lyrics allude to several popular songs of the late 1950s, including "Lonesome Town", "Heartbreak Hotel", "Bye Bye Love", "A Fool Such as I", and "I Cried a Tear".
"One Way Ticket" was covered by British disco band Eruption for their second album, Leave a Light. The song became a big hit in Europe in the first half of 1979, topping charts in Austria and Switzerland, and reaching top 10 across Europe. This song inspired the item song "Hari Om Hari" from the Hindi film Pyara Dushman (1980). "One Way Ticket" is now one of the band's trademark hits, along with their cover of "I Can't Stand the Rain".
