no i don't believe "I'm my own grandpa" fits that discription..

lonzo and oscar did the song about him finding a girl then
his dad finding the girls daughter and making the mess out of the grandpa line.
he was not happy about the way it all turned out.
and he was not blaming the girl but his dad for it.

wouldn't the song "welcome to my world" be a better fit? maybe not it's just another guess.

Have another song for y'all. Here goes: A guy finds a girl, marries her, becomes a father, becomes a grandfather, and it is all her fault. He blames her the whole way through the song and even the title gives the reason he blames her.

This is a terrific song. It caught the edited version as the closing theme for the early episodes of the anime series "Bleach" and had to find it on CD (its available on the first Bleach soundtrack collection). Rei Fu has a terrific voice and I hope her albums will be released in the U. S.

I really like this song used in the1st season; it's just so soothing and calm. Though i'm not quite good at Japanese, to me Rie Fu is not like a typical Jpop artist..
