Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
There is a 12-inch vinyl Italo disco cover version on the Italian record label Discomagic named "Clock On 5 - Theme From Furyo" which was released in 1984. In 2004, Croatian pianist Maksim Mrvica included a piano remix of "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" on his third album, Variations Part I&amp;II. Japanese-American R&amp;B artist Utada Hikaru heavily sampled the theme for her 2009 song, "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - FYI" from the album "This Is the One".
