Kei Tani ( 谷啓, Tani Kei?) (22 February 1932 – 11 September 2010) was a Japanese comedian, actor and musician. Born in Tokyo, he learned to play the trombone and, while a student at Chuo University, began playing in jazz bands performing for American soldiers during the Occupation of Japan. He quit university and joined the City Slickers with Frankie Sakai in 1953. In 1956, he joined the comic-jazz band The Crazy Cats with Hajime Hana and Hitoshi Ueki. He came to fame when the Crazy Cats started appearing on television, especially through their variety show "Shabondama Holiday," and in movies, through comedy series such as the "Irresponsible" (Musekinin) series at Toho. Some of his nonsense one-word gags such as "gachon" became buzzwords imitated throughout the nation. He also appeared alone in dramatic roles on film and television, was a regular in the "Tsuribaka Nisshi" film series, and continued to be a popular figure on variety TV.
His real name was Yasuo Watanabe, but his stage name was based on a pun on the name Danny Kaye.
The fist times I met you eye to eye
I couldn't tell what you had on your mind
After a while as time passed by
I realized you tried to steal what's mine
Now I see it all, I know it too well
Disgrace to mankind, burn in hell
If justice did right and God was there
You should have been born dead
Strike you down
You're not half the man you claim to be
Strike you down
You'd sell out your family to fulfil your needs
Fuck vendettas, I want more
I wish to see you lying on your own blood
To destroy everything you hold sacred
To see you on your deathbed
Hanging loose in the end of a rope
You've found yourself in stranglehold
Rope's getting tighter, you can't escape
Destined to live your life in agony
It's about time for the truht to be told
You aren't shatterproof in my world
You better hope we won't meet again
You better hope we won't meet ever again
In the end you know the joke's on you
