Black Handkerchief of Happiness (幸せの黒いハンカチ, Shiawase no Kuroi Hankachi?) is a song that Brook sung to awaken his crew when he was alive.[1] In a filler episode of the anime he sings it to wake up the Straw Hat crew as well. It is considered loud, fast paced, and annoying. The song itself is a reference to the Marines and the pirates.
The CD version was released in Japan with the full song which only lasts 30 seconds. The 30 seconds involves Brook singing/shouting at the top of his lungs while playing the violin obnoxiously.

It's a white handkerchief Careful now, knees on the ground! Run away! |
Trivia[]

- In addition to the soul version, "Binks's Booze & Brook Special CD" came out with a violin solo of the song.
