"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.

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".
