This is going to take a bit of explanation, and I’m not even sure how close I am to the end. Yesterday, Dad was binging videos from a channel called “Anna Lindgren” and every so often, this odd tune would catch my ear. You can hear it around 2 minutes into this video:




I called it “Dixieland Sukiyaki Remix” because the production sounds like Dixieland winds and percussion that would have been recorded three quarters of a century apart at minimum, and a melody that, at points, sounded like a few bars from "Ue o Muite Arukō" (known in the West as “Sukiyaki.”)

Eventually, after trying to search for the song among her videos, I found the video I just posted, and, after trying and failing to Shazam it, I noticed that there was a little vocal section, and since the lyrics were clear enough, I found the song that it sampled:





(Note: I am aware that Jimmie Rodgers does not sound “Nashville Skyline” enough for the sample, but I figured it’s close enough for here.)

I’m finding a couple tracks claiming to be a remix of “Waiting for a Train”, but all seem to be remixes of an entirely different synth pop song that just happens to share a name and nothing else.
