A friend linked this video a few months ago and I immediately really liked it. Firstly, the tune is catchy as hell – if you know a few words of Chinese, you’ll be singing it for at least the next week straight. And secondly, I know most of the Chinese words they are singing. While my Chinese is of course still very poor, it’s always a buzz to actually recognize those words you do know. I enjoy listening to foreigners speak Chinese as I can actually understand what they’re saying. There’s a world of difference between a heavily accented Chinese speaker and a foreigner when speaking Mandarin. Of course, the foreigner is likely speaking it very poorly, but at least I can understand it!
This is also something you can totally get away with in China. Got a hint of musical talent? Go to China, cruise around like a rock star. You may get the occasional anal probe at the airport (if expat stories are true!) but in China, you can seriously reinvent yourself any way you wish 
Enjoy!

I love that song! One of my Australian friends in Lanzhou is putting a band together to do this song, it’s really funny if you’ve got your beginning Chinese down!
