地球温暖化進行曲
植木等 Lyrics

The lyrics to 植木等's song 地球温暖化進行曲 (Chikyuu Ondanka Shinkoukyoku) portray a sarcastic and satirical commentary on the issue of global warming. The song suggests an unconventional and somewhat apathetic response to the Earth becoming hotter. It presents a counter-argument to the seriousness of the situation by suggesting that it's not such a bad thing and that there are benefits to be found in the changing climate.

The lyrics begin by stating that as the Earth gets hotter, it's no longer necessary to use heating, implying that people should just accept the warmth and not need any additional heating systems. The song then goes on to suggest that if you turn on the tap, hot springs will come out, and if you squeeze milk, powdered milk will come out. This implies a blithe acceptance of the changes brought about by global warming, as if they were simple conveniences.

The chorus repeats the phrase "don don dan dan ondanka" (which can be understood as "gradually, gradually global warming") emphasizing the continuous progression of the issue. The song questions who is responsible for creating such a planet and ends by repeating the lines about being covered in hair and ashes, and being covered in sweat.

Overall, the song uses a mixture of humor and irony to make a statement about global warming, highlighting the absurdity of some responses to the issue and underscoring the need for action.
