The first song is something people have been talking about since I arrived two weeks ago. It is a relatively new release by 筷子兄弟 ( The Chopstick Brothers. Think, Lonely Island or a singing Key and Peele) called “你是我的小平果” (you are my little apple). It is literally impossible to avoid hearing this song at least three times each day. While people really enjoy the upbeat rhythm and catchy melody, they have become enchanted by the "square dancing" (not really, but thats what my host mom calls it) that is an integral part of the official music video. In fact, when head to school there is usually a group of old women "square dancing" for exercise in the local park near my house.
I think some of the parodies are just as good as the official video:
this one has english
Hi Noah, I explored many of the other video of the same popular song and was intrigued by the different takes on song. The official video is so strange?, creative?, reaching to be unique? I don't get the production, but the tune is catchy. After listening to 3-4 videos I can't get it out of head. Can't wait to hear more. BTW it took a few minutes to figure out how to follow you, is there a way to make the "follow gadget" more prominent?
