"Samurai" is a song by Romanian-German singer-songwriter Michael Cretu from his third studio album, Die Chinesische Mauer (1985).
In the lyrics, the protagonist of the song shows how frustrating his live act is.
A German-language version of the song was also released around the same time as the English version, but it was not a commercial success unlike the English version which reached the top 20 in a number of countries across Europe.
The plot of the music video features Michael Cretu with some studio musicians in a dojo, while two kendōkas are fighting against each other.[1]
