Ike Ike

"Ike Ike" (also titled as IkeIke) is a song by Roberta Lertora under the alias Tri-Star. Originally released on September 19th, 1999, on Super Eurobeat Presents Euromach, the same year it was later released together with "Mikado" by Dave McLoud in a vinyl single release of the album that was released by Avex Trax. Additionally, a remix by New Generation was also included on the same vinyl. The song was later digitally released in various countries on November 28th, 2007. "Ike Ike" was written by Claudio Accatino, Federico Rimonti, and Roberto Festari and produced by Accatino and Rimonti. The riff of the song is derived from "We Like to Party" by the Dutch Eurodance pop group Vengaboys.

In 2005, the song was covered by the Japanese female pop group Hinoi Team, and later used as the ending theme in the anime "Ichijo 100%".

Two cover versions of the song were produced in 2008 and released in 2009, each of them sung by Melody Castellari and Elisabetta Gagliardi under the aliases of Pistol Girl and Bazooka Girl, respectively.
