[Dixielandjazz] Was "Skokiaan" now - Other unusual international OKOM "hits?"

[David Richoux]

Colin's question about "Skokiaan" shows how a song that might be  
great for an OKOM band could be very popular in one region of the  
world and maybe unknown in others. I was thinking of the song  
"Sukiyaki" (AKA "Ue o muite arukō") that was a hit in the USA and UK  
in the early 1960s, after Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen released an  
instrumental version.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki_(song)  has more on this.

Any others?
