In honor of the 60th anniversary of my beloved People's Republic of China on October 1st 2009, I have not only recorded my debut single but put together an accompanying video (though it was made in a bit of haste and keep in mind I'm a Garage Band and iMovie noob).
Note: Some knowledge of Mandarin Chinese is necessary for fully understanding my work, but not required to enjoy it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRC!
Lyrics:
I get off the boat and Im in beijing
with renmingbi and my sandals
welcome to the land of fake purses,
am I gonna get robbed?
Jumped in the cab,
And we swerve into traffic
Look to the right and see a family on a scooter
This is all so scary
everything smells like mothballs
My heads hurting and I think Im gonna be sick
Think those dumplings made me nauseous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
and a Jay Chou song was on
and the Jay Chou song was on
and the Jay Chou song was on
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
Theyre playing my song,
I learned this at KTV
Noddin my head like dui
Movin my hips like dui
I got my hands up,
Theyre playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Dui, It's a party in the PRC
Dui, It's a party in the PRC
Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin at me now
Like ni kan ne ge nushen chuan tuo xie
Ta dang ran shi mei guo ren
So hard with Chinese people all around me
I look like everyone else at the party
all I see are zhong guo ren
theres no diversification
My heads hurting and I think Im gonna be sick
Think those dumplings made me nauseous
Thats when the DJ man put on my favorite track
and an fei wang song was on
and the fei wang song was on
and the fei wang song was on
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
Theyre playing my song,
I learned this at KTV
Noddin my head like dui
Movin my hips like dui
I got my hands up,
Theyre playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Dui, It's a party in the PRC
Dui, It's a party in the PRC
Wo you yi dian pa da lu (pa da lu)
hen xiang hui chu mei guo (chu mei guo)
ke shi wo ting dao na ying yue (na ying yue)
zhong guo ren dou ai cang ge
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
Theyre playing my song,
I learned this at KTV
Noddin my head like dui
Movin my hips like dui
I got my hands up,
Theyre playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Dui, It's a party in the PRC
Dui, It's a party in the PRC
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
Theyre playing my song,
I learned this at KTV
Noddin my head like dui
Movin my hips like dui
I got my hands up,
Theyre playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Dui, It's a party in the PRC
Dui, It's a party in the PRC
