Song of the Pig

According to the BBC, Xiang Xiang (香香) is making it big in China, thanks to 163888.net who have been running her song "Pig's Song" 猪之歌. This song has been hugely popular in PRC with "one billion downloads" (said in Dr. Evil's voice) across China, Malaysia and Singapore. With 1.3 billion living in China, and around 20 million (ethnic Chinese) across Malaysia and Singapore, and only 102 Million online in China - one wonders how kiasu people must be? "Wah - got pig song one! Must download to iPod, handphone, pc and send to all my buddies! So cuuuttee!". I can hear it now.....

So to all my non Singaporean/PR/or Chinese guests, here are the lyrics to this little oddity.....in English (hey I have been practising my "other languages" and signed up for school (to do Mandarin in London - Eek!) but no way am I man enough to do this!). If you want to hear it, just go to mp3 - sina and search for 猪之歌 香香 - it's fansss-tastic!

Pig, you have two holes on your nose
When you catch cold, you are snorting
Pig, you have black eyes which we cannot see beyond
Pig, you have two big ears
And you cannot hear that I'm cursing you silly
Pig, you have a curling tail which you cannot run without
Pig head, pig brain, pig body and pig tail
You are a good baby who eats everything
Everyday you won't wake up till noon
And you never brush your teeth and you never fight


Man - it moves me in ways I didn't believe possible...quite how I leave to your imagination!
