I'd love to know what the lyrics are saying.....

[Thud_and_Blunder]

Thoroughly weird - shows that we'll never really manage our dealings with them 'til we understand their mind-set. I followed a couple of the other links - interesting to see how many PLA were considered necessary in HK once we'd moved out. Enjoyed seeing a quick clip of Sek Kong toward the end - a long time since I lived there.
A further link showed a different side of the Chinese armed forces and their methods. Take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHv9EplqZGU&NR

They march a lot, don't they?

[lasernigel]

What no shower scenes????

[Talking Radalt]

"Oh I used to be a WRAF,
And I was rather fat,
But I joined the Chinese Army,
And got a nice new hat.
Marching up and down all day,
It really can be fun,
And what with all that exercise
I've lost my "issue" bum..."

[ProfessionalStudent]

This one's got LOCKED written all over it, surely?

[BOAC]

I enjoyed the Morecambe and Wise bit at the end.......................

[Talking Radalt]

Any comment from down Uxbridge way?

Just for information, there is no sign of mainland military here now. Actually, apart from the change of the logo on the police badge, it's pretty hard to notice any change.

I'd love to know what the lyrics are saying

I can get the karaoke song translated if you are really interested..? Probably along the lines of:

We're great; we're great
and there are loads of us
eh!

[bad livin']

Outstanding chinstrap use.

[GPMG]

Ive had the song translated at great expense, it goes.....

Oh can you,
Oh can you,
imagine all of us ,
every single one of us,
in the showers after this parade,
giggling and laughing and losing the soap,
It's a tight squeeze as there are 30,000 of us but we don't care,
He he he, ho ho ho

repeat and fade.

It only rhymes in mandarin and it is sung to the tune of Three Blind Mice.

I know it's a cliche but they all look the same!

I think that has more to do with the uniform than anything else, imagine what the RAF version would be like, no two people dressed the same.

It seems China is a nation proud of its military

ALWAYS assume NEVER check

[bad livin']

Chutley - at least the gals in the video only require a strap for one chin.

What? All the fatties at IOT?

[Colonal Mustard]

Its a Classic K A R A O K E version


Win hong a wong wong lung dong baat
shin chun meow meow peow

wun hung low Tai bin tat daat

Tsk get with it lads, I for one will be asking for a full rendition during a drunken evening from the mess next time i`m passing

[airborne_artist]

Kong see fat choi = Happy New year - bound to be in there somewhere...

[WhiteOvies]

I like the way it ends with them marching off into the Nuclear Winter!
The dance routine was a bit repetitive......

[QFIhawkman]

I bet that after you've had one of those, you fancy another 20 minutes later.
