Chinese music tastes
When you go out to a bar in China, you are subjected to what can only be described as audial crack. Most Chinese bars blast music through speakers that are FAR to small (producing a wonderful omg-the-tweeter-sounds-like-its-going-to-explode noise) and in general they choose the most catchy, addicting songs on earth. The normal one that gets stuck in my head is the Chinese version of a techno song called Dragostea Din Tei by the Moldovan band O-Zone. The Chinese singer's name is Guo Mei Mei (Lacie) and she changed the title to Bu Pa Bu Pa. I guess I shouldn't really say "new" popular one, because this particular song has been haunting my thoughts and dreams now for almost one year. You can here that song here.
Anyway, I wanted to share with you the new popular one in the Chinese clubs and bars. It is a true abomination in every sense of the word, and it is a sad commentary on the state of music in general. Again, I gather its not that new, so perhaps you have heard of this before. Here are the lyrics.
The Pizza Hut
The Pizza Hut
Kentucky Fried Chicken
and the Pizza Hut
McDonald's, McDonald's
Kentucky Fried Chicken
and the Pizza Hut
The thing that sucks the most about this song is that it gets stuck in your head so easily AND it has a dance to go along with it (v-shaped roof over your head for Pizza Hut, dancing like a chicken for fried chicken part, and eating an invisible hamburger for the Mickey D's part.)
