Slowpoke Song (Imakuni? Version)

The Slowpoke Song (Japanese: どないやねん ヤドン What's Going on, Yadon?) is a song made for the Yadon Paradise, a site made in celebration of Slowpoke Day on August 10, 2014. The song was composed by ヤードンズ Yādonzu and sung in Japanese by Hiro and Anthony Gatlin. The Imakuni? version is sung by Tomoaki Imakuni. The English version of the song was adapted and produced by Ed Goldfarbs music team, Madcap Labs.

It was released on the official Japanese YouTube channel on August 21, 2014. On October 16, 2014, two additional versions were released: the Imakuni? Version featuring Imakuni?, and the Karaoke Version. An instrumental version was used for the Pokémon: Slowpoke theme for the Nintendo 3DS. The song was later translated to English on September 2, 2015 and shown on the official English YouTube channel to promote Slowpoke Week and the addition of Slowpoke merchandise to the Pokémon Center website, which was linked to in the video description.

The song was used as an insert song in Slowking's Crowning! and An Evolution in Taste!.

Lyrics

English Japanese Translation (Hold it, hold up everyone) (Are you ready for a sing-along?) (Slowpoke in a reggae, reggae style) (Poké-, Poké-, Poké-, Pokémon) (Come in!) Slow slow slow Ah-oo what's your story, Slowpoke? Slow slow slow Ah-oo what's your story, Slowpoke? Every night, you're the one, dreams of waking with the sun But you sleep in 'til noon (Slowpoke) Your pink hue is your color, through and through I can see it's the real you (Slowpoke) Your big mouth like a supermarket door Open seven/twenty-four (Slowpoke) Your sweet tail sap is a yummy yummy snack We're hungry and we want more (Slowpoke) You're so slow, that your picture never blurs The speedometer concurs (Slowpoke) Slow slow slow Ah-oo what's your story, Slowpoke? Slow slow slow Dude, what's your deal, Slowpoke? Lose your tail, that's all right; it'll grow back someday That's really cool (Slowpoke) Dopey Pokémon, the category they settled on Too bad for you (Slowpoke) What word starts with "S" and ends with letter "E"? It's obviously... (Sunstroke) You fish with your tail but you're too slow when they bite And so they swim out of sight (Slowpoke) Your slow-motion roll has got a lot of soul It's your cruise control (Slowpoke!) Slow slow slow Ah-oo what's your story, Slowpoke? Slow slow slow Ah-oo what's your story, Slowpoke? You yawn a single time, down comes the rain sublime If the famous legend is true (Slowpoke) But you've been yawning all day long and the blue skies aren't gone You've got some explaining to do (Slowpoke) A Shellder bites your tail and then you become a Slowbro That's a dopey evolution (Slowpoke) Everywhere you go there are Slowpoke passing through Maybe there's one right behind you (Slowpoke) Plodding, poky, sluggish, tardy, so late you're early (Slowpoke) Slow slow slow Dude, what's your deal, Slowpoke? Slow slow slow Ah-oo what's your story, Slowpoke? A great big Berry fell, bonked you on the head But you feel no pain (Slowpoke) Your ears curl in—there's a reason, you said What was it again? (Slowpoke) You just said "SLO"; did you feel that Berry only just now? You're really somethin' (Slowpoke) Someday you'll be Slowbro, or maybe even Slowking Or you'll just keep bein' (Slowpoke) Stand in a ring, bite your buddy's tail for lunch What a happy looking bunch Slowpoke! Slow slow slow Ah-oo what's your story, Slowpoke? Slow slow slow Slowpoke! (Hold it, well this is a sample) (I guess it's not the best sample just an example) (Yadon in a reggae, reggae style) (Poké-, Poké-, Poké-, Pokémon) (Yadon, come in!) やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん どないやねん　ヤドン やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん どないやねん　ヤドン 朝日といっしょに起きた夢見て 昼まで寝ている ヤドン ピンクのお肌はゆですぎじゃない もともとなんだな ヤドン でっかいお口はコンビニみたい いつでも開いてる ヤドン しっぽの甘みはときどき子供の おやつがわりだ ヤドン 動きがのろくて写真がブレない それがじまんか ヤドン やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん どないやねん　ヤドン やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん どないやねん　ヤドン しっぽはとれても　また生えるから 心配ないです ヤドン だれがつけたか分類名は まぬけポケモン ヤドン ヤの字ではじまりンの字でおわる 三文字　それは ヤカン しっぽで釣りして　釣れでも気づかず 逃げても気づかず ヤドン しりとりするなら　ヤドンの名前 オススメしません ヤドン やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん どないやねん　ヤドン やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん どないやねん　ヤドン あくびひとつで　ひと雨降らせる 雨乞い伝説 ヤドン でもさっきから雲ひとつなし 伝説どうなってんだ ヤドン しっぽにシェルダーかみつきゃヤドラン 進化もまぬけな ヤドン 世界のどこかにヤドンはいるぜ きみのうしろにも ヤドン 山かけ・月見・天ぷら・五目・カレー南蛮 ウドン やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん どないやねん　ウドン やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん どないやねん　ヤドン 大きなきのみがあたまに落ちた でも痛くない ヤドン 耳がくるりとうずまきなのは・・・・・・ どうしてだっけ？ ヤドン とつぜん「やぁん」って　さっきのきのみが 今ごろ痛いか ヤドン いつかはヤドラン　もしくはヤドキング それともそのまま ヤドン みんなでしっぽをくわえて輪になって しあわせそうだな ヤドン やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん やぁん　やぁん　ア、やぁん ヤドン (Hold it, well this is a sample) (I guess it's not the best sample just an example) (Slowpoke in a reggae, reggae style) (Poké-, Poké-, Poké-, Pokémon) (Slowpoke, come in!) Slow slow a-slow What's going on, Slowpoke? Slow slow a-slow What's going on, Slowpoke? Dreaming of getting up together with the morning sun Sleeping until noon Slowpoke Pink skin's not too cooked You have always been a Slowpoke Your huge mouth, like a convenience store It is open anytime Slowpoke A sweet tail, sometimes a child's snack Instead of the usual Slowpoke There's no blurry photos with your sluggish motion Are you proud of that? Slowpoke Slow slow a-slow What's going on, Slowpoke? Slow slow a-slow What's going on, Slowpoke? If your tail is removed, since it'll grow back Don't worry Slowpoke Who gave you the classification Stupid Pokémon Slowpoke It starts with "ya", it ends with "n" Three characters, it is Kettle When fishing with the tail, a catch isn't noticed And without noticing they even escaped Slowpoke Playing shiritori with Slowpoke's name Isn't recommended Slowpoke Slow slow a-slow What's going on, Slowpoke? Slow slow a-slow What's going on, Slowpoke? With one yawn, sending down rain for the people A legend of praying for rain Slowpoke But from a while ago without a single cloud What happened to the legend? Slowpoke When Shellder bites its tail, Slowbro Also a stupid evolution Slowpoke Slowpoke are anywhere in the world Even behind you Slowpoke Yamakake, moon-viewing, tempura, gomoku, exotic curry Udon Slow slow a-slow What's going on, udon? Slow slow a-slow What's going on, Slowpoke? A large Berry fell on your head But it doesn't hurt Slowpoke Your ears suddenly curl up Why is that so? Slowpoke Suddenly going "slow", does the Berry from before only hurt right about now? Slowpoke Someday you will be Slowbro or Slowking Or not evolve at all Slowpoke With everyone in a circle, and additionally a tail You are happy Slowpoke Slow slow a-slow Slow slow a-slow Slow slow a-slow Slowpoke
