"Su Su Su Super キ・レ・イ" (Rōmaji: "Kirei" meaning "beautiful") is a Scatman John single, recorded in Japan with Japanese backing musicians and released there as a tie-in to a cosmetics commercial. The addictive dance number was his highest-charting single in Japan, reaching #16. This is particularly extraordinary in Japan, where only 20 or so singles by foreign artists reached the Top 20 between 1995 and 2003. The song is based around a series of catchy loops of party lyrics. The B-side is a solo piano cover of the Elvis Presley song "Love Me Tender", dubbed the "L.A. Unplugged Mix".
