Ah, the cultural sensitivity of times past...
I don't condone racism at all, but this is pretty fecking hilarious.

Scroll down to the hilarious lyrics. If you can hear the MIDI file, note how remarkably un-Chinese it sounds... There's also a link to a MP3 of an actual player piano performing the song.

Incidentally, Jess has strep throat, and apparently caught it just in time to avoid complications. She should be better soon.

And on "King of the Hill," which for some reason is on the TV right now Hank was just listening to Aqualung. Jethro Tull rocks!

	It sounds more like they are trying (badly) to replicate middle-Eastren music than Chinese. I think they're actually trying to show some kind of respect or fondness for the Chinese people, but they obviously don't understand their culture at all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, it does sound pseudo-Arabic. Funny how the author of the song seems to encapsulate all of Chinese culture into opium-smoking... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
