Side One swings around the Far East. Nippon Bashi, one of three songs representing Japan, exploits the Glee Club's ability to get louder very slowly and gradually, over a long period of time--a sort of basso "Bolero."

Nowhere was the clamor louder than in Argentina, where the outraged leaders of the three military services threatened to overturn the government of President Arturo Frondizi...
