(Gotta Feelin') Not Gonna Get My Tones Right

Learning when to use the 5 tones in Mandarin Chinese can be quite difficult (Supposedly there's only 4 tones, but there's also a "neutral" tone, which makes it 5 if you ask me). We have been told however, if you just learn to speak real fast -- people can't tell if you know how to use tones or not! Anyway, this is our little "protest" against the tones in Chinese - put together for a company Christmas party. Enjoy.

I love this song! I hated tones when studying Mandarin... It was the main reason I didnt want to speak in that class. So I love this song XD
