George Harrison and Vicki Brown duet originally from the soundtrack from the film of the same name. Available on the remastered "Cloud Nine" album, another underrated song/performance by George.

I like this song but the lyrics really are awful.

I just got a VHS of the movie Shanghai Surprise from the video store. Watching the movie's opening credits, I was struck by what a great song this is. I think the reason it got a Razzie is because of the horrible publicity of the film. Sean Penn was hated by the media at that point -- because he was punching them! Filming was a disaster; Harrison had to call a press conference in England to smooth things over. Finally, when the movie was released, it bombed big time.

I love this song! It's just so damn fun! I even loved the movie, despite the bad reviews.
Gweorge Harrison was a genius songwriter

It would've been great if the duet was with Madonna instead of Vicki Brown...

Love the lyrics:
My straits are dire from the wok into the fire,
I'd like to meet you but i've broken my chopstick.
Sometimes there's no hope in, in chasing promises,
I wanna love you though it could prove to be unwise,
Shanghai surprise.

The soundtrack for "Shanghai Surprise" was never released as a record or CD, and was only briefly available as a promotional single featuring the title song "Shanghai Surprise" and "Zig Zag".
Both of these songs have since been released as "additional tracks" on the 2004 release of the Cloud Nine CD. Another track, "The Hottest Gong in Town", was included on the EP Songs by George Harrison Volume 2.

Always loved this song but could never understand the words until I went to one of those places on the net that give lyrics. This song won a Razzie award for the worst song that year from a movie..wrong, I think it's under rated. Thanks for sharing!!

Poor George was always underrated. George said he only made music with meaning- not just junk. His music has so many importnat lessons and is still true today- if only everyone would listen to him and change the bad things in the world.
