Was in the mood for listening to it, but only found this dreary old version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evWo0DV5_ns&feature=fvw. If you listen to it from 45 seconds in, you'll probably recognise it.
I fancied listening to a more cheesy upbeat version. Can anybody find one? |

Ah Brilliant! I just couldn't recall its proper name. The East is Red - that's it! |

Partly for sheer amusement. Partly for sentimental value (I used to live in China and one of my friend's mothers liked to sing it often - to our amusement - I guess she was reliving her revolutionary youth!) and partly because I've been getting back into my Mandarin lately, and remember I used to sing along to it.

Thank you. Some interesting variations there.
This one is certainly making me chuckle - haven't tried the dance mix yet though! |
