  • Surprise

    I was listening to the bluegrass station (on XM) this morning on the way to work. Imagine my surprise at hearing Chinese... something about bbq pork... and dancing all night... in Mandarin, nonetheless. The song was "Uncle Earl - Streak O' Lean, Streak O' Fat". Here are some lyrics. Try to picture a Chinese guy with a high-pitched voice screaming these lines maniacally, while a banjo is playing in the background.

    Kuai lai yi wan hongshao rou
    Bring on the braised fatty pork

    Xiang zheyang zenme huoxia qu
    Living like this, how can we go on?

    Jinzhao he jiu jinzhao zui
    Today we drink, today we're wasted
