Lily Allen - Chinese

[makememad33312]

not that anyones gonna read this or even care but I fucking LOVE pizza <3 :D

(I know just a tiny tiny bit off track it has like everything to do with this song!)

[ameliatheskatergirl]

@makememad33312 Pizza is nice.

[hipnhappenin]

Hahaha... "We'll get a Chinese and watch TV." Imagine if she were talking about a little Chinese person.

To everyone getting all huffy about (I guess) people thinking this song is racist: in America, we don't say "a Chinese" when talking about food. It's simply "Chinese". Like, "I'm hungry. Let's get Chinese/some Chinese." So maybe that's where the confusion came from.

[katrinalisa2002]

I did not realise this song was about her mother. It's nice though. And yeah, duh, 'a chinese' means chinese food. I reckon a lot of people on YouTube lack a basic comprehension of English.

[trinster94]

this is a really nice song:)

[TheCinanmim]

what does she want chinese for? she just had beans on toast!

[mhsueh2]

I didn't know Lily Allen has a song dedicated to me

[TheEK50]

I love this song. It's so beautiful. It reminds me of my mother. Love her. Wish she was still here. :')

[sesilu912]

Im a Lilyber

[ChicksCrazyRandom]

You wipe the tears from my eyes...

8_8 grasias mama...

[samuraine]

My mom and I always get Chinese at the same place when I come into town.

[ofashodo]

my mom and I go to to the same Chinese spot in San Jose every time we drive there together. So for at least 16. She just found out what the place was called last month. OK chinese fast food. Its more than OK the name is deceptive.

[vixievonlyn]

when i get marred i hope my mom will dace with me to this song ^-^

[Danonah]

I was in a flight and this random played on my IPod playlist at once I thought of me and my mom's relationship, our different personality, how we don get The most of our precious time together... that made me cry right away and it got even more emotional when i found out here she wrote This beautiful song to her mummy !!

[br3nda17]

I love my mom 3

[musicbabe144]

love her music and her accent makes it even better wish i had one

[misshakohearts]

I love the fact that the song is about her mom.

[WHUFC71]

Sweet song..Love it.

[supasta3]

at first i thought this was about a relationship with a boy, its even cuter knowing its about her mom.

[Melly24NY]

I love Lily Allen! <3

[yuugiho]

I miss my mum so much!!!

[krappyjoe]

I could go for pork fried rice :) n sesame seed chicken yum

[elenakatherine526]

This sounds like u would be inside a bubble, floating around

[passmywords15]

Lily allen fans are the best!

[1992lordloss]

chinese...awesome.....chinese + TV.....heaven

[VitalRegionsPlz]

I hate when the video refuses to quit buffering, I can't hear Lily's awesome voice! D:

[MrKubbo]

I rather listen to Lily Allen, eat chinese and frolic on the couch with my girl...

[TheMiniMarina]

Cute!



[TheJordynHug]

This is my life exactly! This makes me like the song that much more just because i can relate to it..

[bunnyblue2]

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It reminds me so much of my own mother T____T

[PygmyAlpaca]

I don't understand how you guys don't understand, "getting Chinese..." Do they not say that outside of America and England?

[daniellevin1]

Lily Allen and Adele...

two complete opposite music styles, yet i love them both..

its like they balance each other out :)

[EtherealMemory]

Are you kidding me, I'm Chinese and I understood what it meant right away and I'm not offended. It's funny because I feel like the people who are so offended aren't even Chinese

[VitalRegionsPlz]

Catchy and cute. It's very sweet of her to make this for her mother, I wish I could do the same with my own mother, but sadly the idea seems non existent. Anyway. this was sad and easy to relate to, I love Lily.

[switschmaker]

This song is so great.

It's about enjoying and appreciating the simple things in life like sitting on the couch with the girl you love watch Tv and eat chinese food.

Lily Allen knows how to wrap up human desires in songs ;)

[keithdra]

i'm chinese and i get it.

[NeuronMasturbation]

her voice is adorable.

[abeautifulnightsky]

The fact that she wrote this for her mother makes this song even more dear to me. ♥

[MojoCjojo]

LOL if only everyone had common sense, OH wait we all do some of you should use it.

[lavalampprincess]

lily allen, i love you and your voice and your ideas. the end.

[tootsiePOP745]

[BeccaScoop]

[wikkichan]

hahahaha I LOL'd at the top comments :D

[muffingirl337]

i just LOVE this song!

[itsmisskatie]

this is a song about a mother-daughter relationship. i love my mom so much, she's my best friend. this song makes me sad for some reason but it makes me think of my mom and brings me to tears. i love you mommy.

[Skater2028]

U NEED TO DIE!!!!!!!!!

[LTM41]

@Skater2028 why?

[bespontaneousalways]

This song makes me hungry.

[smellyjelly14]

@bespontaneousalways lol :P

[tyrseaarg]

I don't know what everyone is talking about... I'm American and I can see myself saying that.

[UhmBr00k3]

Haha wow, people are actually confused about the lyrics?.... like, really, in the context of the song why would you think it meant anything other than get Chinese food.....

[shaneyboy04]

@UhmBr00k3 Well where I come from people say lets get chinese when they wanna get high...so I guess it could have multiple meanings depending on where you are in the world??

[crystalynn2006]

Love those differences between us and the Brits!!! I should say "Get a chinese and watch Tv" and see how many blank stares i get here....

[Sara0K]

she has gorown up!

[eschercheshire]

So, I"m a bit confuzzled, what exactly is this song about? (Apart from eating chinese people.)

[yumi419]

@eschercheshire For everyone's FYI, this song is for her mother. Since Lily's career involves her doing a lot of tours and flying from the US to the UK, she hardly visits home. When she does, her mother makes her feel as if she's been home forever. In the beginning, she talks about seeing "you" from the sky meaning she knows her mom's house is right below somewhere and know that she'll be there soon. If you want proof, find Lily's interview about each individual track and she'll explain.

[OrangeD00D]

To all the Americans that understood what she said:

Well done.

Now shut up and talk about something else.

[OnTheToiletBeyotch]

Really? Did people really assume she ate Chinese people with her mum in front of the TV?

[YourMorningGlory]

Fuck vevo



[Zpekulaz]

@YourMorningGlory yes :D fuck

[KassandraMorseME]

I eat chinese for breakfast.

[giveitamoment]

I'm not english.but i realized "getting chinese" is getting chinese food due to this magical thing called "common sense". it's crazy stuff you should try it out sometime.

[ihventura]

@giveitamoment Yes but that's not what she sings. She says "...have a Chinese" which is something far more nefarious.

[yourspitonmyshoe]

was i the only american that knew what she meant about getting a chinese before reading the comments...?

[Calypsa03]

@yourspitonmyshoe I, as an American, also knew what she meant! lol

[Sindrake]

do me a favor, click my videos, and subscribe to me,. i feel lonely

[Sindrake]

ahhh ahhhhhh AHHHHHH Ahhhh, i dont want anything more then to see your face when opening the door

[glumgurl05]

beans and toast? that sounds terrible:p yuck!

[MrAirnesse]

@glumgurl05 it's English you couldn't understand ;p

[blueteddy23]

EAT CHINESE, WATCH TV >_<

[Sindrake]

I love this song, and the choir tribute for this song too



[MeltingMolecules]

I was high as a mother fucker shopping in the mall once - heard this song in a store and had a HUGE smile on my face ;)

[Kimny9816]

Lilys mom hasn't died...

[quamauq]

身為一個中國人，我表示壓力很大。。。。。。。。。

[wereoutofdoritos]

Genuinely thought that she wanted to eat a Chinese person....

[TheMotionv2]

@wereoutofdoritos hahahahahaha

[Jonathan692151]

48 people dont like chinese food lol

[dawaihawks]

alright me old china.......

[Nikko0o0o]

I always thought 'We will get a Chinese' means that she orders some Chinese food?

[Choxochi]

A postcard when she gets where..? :x

[yuugiho]

But I thought english people say "tele" instead of "tv"

[AlexanderJayxo]

@yuugiho erm no :-S tv or tele or television its all the same

[RahChanRawr]

@yuugiho i think she said tv instead of tele cause of the gramatical structure of that sentence. tele would have sounded weird, unless she said "the tele," but that'd add another syllable.. P:

[smaeul]

@yuugiho we say telly sometimes but usually TV :P

[hijokerace50]

no smooking

its bad 4 u.

[ZaimaChoudhry]

Lily Allen can pwn any man

[poeticsong725]

here in america, we usually say "get chinese" or "get some chinese" not "A chinese" I think that's where the confusion came in ;P

[smaeul]

@poeticsong725 yeah that doesn't really make sense here, we just say get a chinese or get an indian haha

[kingzach74]

@smaeul Here in the USA we say go get Chinese food. Not "go get a Chinese". I knew what she was saying though, it's easy common sense.

[muffingirl337]

UHH! i just LOVE this song!

[CedezlovesYou]

my boyfreind show me this song.. he said it's us in the not to distant future.. ;)

i have been loving this song ever since,, its so amazing..

[XvinarX]

i always eat a chinese takeaway while watching movie :D

[SinWinds]

Not ' Movie Music ?

[randomgurl161]

love this song <3

[bluebear1223]

so sad her mom died i like this song very much

[zaftra]

@bluebear1223 Why on earth do people keep saying Lilly allens mum as died? She hasn't, wiki Alison owen.

[bluebear1223]

so sad her mom died i like this song

[Smarty704]

I need a music video for this. PLEASE. 

[NarayanPlourde]

This song just makes me smile.

I love the rhythmic beat and the lyrics are just exceptionaly worded to make everything blend. So simple and so awesome.

[MrFrens93]

I've a tatoo of Lily now.

Lily <3

[INDIEbritain]

You don't understand now much I love Lily.

[HeyRustin]

This song isn't about Chinese people, or Chinese food. JUST SAYING.

[yukit91]

at first i heard that song felt like a little bit raccist

but then i found out she means chinese food lol

[i116611]

what is 'Din sham' in page 2 ?

我唸了好久都猜不到xDDD

[MauAlexander2]

I love this song, I play this everytime I travel by plane :)

[echidnah1]

Ugh! You guys are so stupid! Especially snooze22jen, who is a full stupid idiot. Where the hell did you get that? Do you know how idiotic you sound!? God you sound so stupid. Again! I keep saying it, because I can't the words to describe your stupidness... Freak.

[noJutsu1000]

typical chinese take out/fast food is americanized or american made. not all, but a lot.

[heavyhandofgod]

where can you buy chinese people?

[bluesmooke]

"Din sham' is the worst food in the world.

[ruts17]

haha i thought she meant to get a Chinese person and watch tv with them :D

[christok93]

no she didnt? :S her mums still alive you idiots...

[Seancui283]

chinese food is junk food

[davidsan01]

@Seancui283 So basically you're saying that the Chinese eat nothing but junk food then, when in fact they just call it 'food'... Foo!

[kare11news]

@Seancui283 go fuck your teeny bopping asshole with your own red rocketed dick.

[lfstyle]

I am Chinese living in England, I quite like this song. Everybody have their childhood, memorable moment especial with their mom that has a tasty meal. It is nothing wrong with the way calls it 'a chinese' or other.

[AwieAnnika]

I LOVE LILY ALLEN!! Thumbs up if you do like Lily Allen too. <3

[wikct2]

Sounds like Chinese food is junck food that associated with eating popcorn when you when watching TV.

[lmaonade200]

@wikct2 nonono you see, it's "a chinese," which means they're eating a decorated plate!!

[TheWithLyrics]

@lmaonade200 I'd call it "china", not "chinese". (But, I have to admit, I laughed so hard when I read your comment. And I know you're joking. Well, you ARE joking, right?)

[snooze22jen]

@wikct2 No. It's just a memory of something she liked to do with her mother. This song is about her. She passed away while Lily was on tour, and Lily was so upset. She wrote this song in her memory.

[Charlotte345]

@snooze22jen No like christok93 said, Lily's mother is still alive. Well she was on Lily's Rags to Riches documentary lol ;o)

[wikct2]

Just like people in the office often say 'let's eat cheap Chinese'. What they meant was 'Cheap Chinese lunch'. I told them 'Chinese food'. They laughed at me....

[marcos31311]

Amazing song.

[831lavilla]

ONE OF MY FAVES, ITS SO SWEET AND RELAXING:)

[jarker1234]

@clrtomsett haha well funny "omg they eat Chinese people in Britain!!?!"

[starsafterlight]

@clrtomsett yeah, i'm the one who commented on the racism. i know lily's not up for that kind of stuff, but that's just what came into my mind first time hearing it. yeah, i'm a chinese. and i'm even more amused at what u westerners eat in a chinatown. and how a new culture of chinese takeaways has managed to sprout from that.

[starsafterlight]

it's now one of my fave songs... actually gave me a subject to write about in some stupid essay competition forced to take part in by the teacher...

[quayanso]

Jenny, i always think of you when i hear this song. i will never forget how happy you made me feel. I hope you can forgive me one day .xxx

[KittyVanity21610]

i was expected some racial slurs from looking at the title of the song. instead a got a beautiful song that reminds me of home and my fiancé.

[comedyandconverse]

She's not saying " get a chinese" The lyrics that come with the CD say "get Chinese" its just sounds that way

[FilleAmericaine]

FUCK VEVO!

[LordDrock]

This song is ridiculously beautiful. 

[JackDammitRun]

i love how all her songs are straight from her heart. no bullshitting with her

[zzzaaannnn]

this wasnt supposed to be a vevo video O.o

omg wtf is happening D:

not watching anymore - boicot vevo

[selimtum]

nobody knows how English are living or they're joking. She means drinking tea from a chinese porcelen cup.

[alyssie3]

Lily Allen is so underrated.

[honeybrown66]

I'm pretty sure she is singing about smoking weed; getting baked together and watching tv. Little do many people know when you say "getting chinese" means your eyes are small from being high. I love Lily! ♥

[starsafterlight]

@honeybrown66 despite knowing it's slang, i still find that extremely racist :(

[LeonDelMansion96]

@starsafterlight relax don't have a stick wedged up your anal cavity. It's a term that can't be changed. You don't see her slamming Asians at all, so don't worry about 'racism' here lol

[starsafterlight]

@LeonDelMansion96 yeah i know. she'd prolly be anti-racism anyway. juz saying :P

[triplehelix2000]

@starsafterlight gross ...

[starsafterlight]

@triplehelix2000 u should direct that comment at @LeonDelMansion96, not me.

[triplehelix2000]

@starsafterlight Aren't you the one implying she is a multi-culturalist? Perhaps you should actually find out her opinion on the subject, and not just assume she supports the genocide of her own people.

[honeybrown66]

@starsafterlight - Yeah, but don't shoot the messenger! :P

[lzhy83129]

46 people was her bf, no one really hate Chinese food

[21silvy]

great song :D

[TheOxpress]

Lily Allen is so underrated. Thumbs up if you agree!!

[supersoulrythim]

the music sounds a bit like caspian or explosions in the sky. love it.

[jaja1047]

Thank you Michael Moore.

[purplemuffn]

It's different from her other songs...

[AstrayChronicle]

Michael Moore sent me here.

[SheFoxAnya]

46 people hate chinese food.

[Samandiriel3]

Wow it is about her hanging out with her mother,very touching,different and beautiful.

[freezedryromance]

hehe, i've had memories with my mama eating chinese :)

guess im not the only one!

[hotspurboy123]

terrible song

[shayexu10]

hǎo tīnɡ ！ hē hē ！

好 听 ！ 呵 呵 ！

[selimtum]

Heavenly song how does they made it.

[NUNEZproductions1]

[GottaLoveTheBeatles]

I love her accent :)

[emokid1240]

she has a wonderful voice, soothing, and her songs are better then the songs i hear on radio =w=
