"Sumisu" is a song by Farin Urlaub. It's the second single and third track from his debut album Endlich Urlaub!. The song is a homage to The Smiths - according to the lyrics, Farin used to listen to them, when he was down. "Sumisu" is "Smith" in Japanese.
Also, The Cure and New Order are mentioned in the song.
[edit] Video
Farin portrays a vampire, who attacks a woman, supposedly in his home. The end is supposed to seem happy.
The references to the Smiths in the video are:
- Farin plays the album "The Queen Is Dead" on a grammophone.
- The woman in the video is knitting something that says "Morrissey San" (Morrissey is a member of the band and "San" is a simple title in Japanese language).
- Later "Rank" is shown playing, although the cover features the title "Rankle".
