Q: Songs that make you think of China
Take warning
Take warning
Stand by your friends, wrong or right
Can't call that justice if its just a stupid excuse to fight
Single out and attack
The ones who got no defense
You call that a new way of thinking
I call it regression to ignorance
Take warning
Take warning
Theres a new generation coming
And we really gotta stand up to them
No ones got a thing against you
What? You got something to prove?
We don't need no set of standards,
We don't need a new set of rules
Man, heard all that shit before
About stomping out any difference
We say stand together!
(not to fight just to exist)
Take warning
Take warning
Intimidation coming
And we really gotta say no to them
Enough is enough is enough
Why dont you just ease up
I saw another beat down last nite take warning
Who's the next to hit the ground tonight?
Take warning

I see a theme, if i'm not mistaken. Can't put my finger on it, but I will.
I'm guessing you're a biker. Used to ride a 500 back home in London myself. Whispering along at 5mph on the electric hairdryer I ride out here, the only song I have ringing in my ears is 'Born to be Mild.'
easyrider:
Haha you got me! I'm more partial to Triumphs, though they're hard to come by these days.
TedDBayer:
I was riding with my GF once, she had a white scooter, I had a red one. I asked if she knew the movie Easy Rider, she did , I said we are Chinese version of the movie, so I sang Born To Be Wild. Dam I don't like being the sidekick. Just had to watch out for Chinese rednecks. I can remember when I was young, by the time my sidestand hit the ground I could see people running away. awww the good ol days.
Frank Zappa: Cheap Thrills
The Police: De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Anything by Westlife, the Backstreet Boys, Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson.
We gotta get out of this place -The Animals
"In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying"
As I read the lyrics, I knew that I knew the song from somewhere. Operation Ivy. Probably the last thing I would think to listen to in China.
Everybody was Kung FU fighting....that song always does.
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns 'n Roses
diverdude1:
Awesome! The American Mountain Lion (aka Cougar) is simply one of the best looking creatures on our planet. I found myself face-to-face with one once, experience I will never forget.
TedDBayer:
My cougar died from allergic reaction to amoxil at 6 months. I had a friend that owned a zoo and got to handle all sorts of big cats from kittens to adults. He had a siberian tiger that I liked, he could stand about 14', huge cat. I used to go in the cage with him, never thought he would hurt me, just too powerful to play with. I used to pet him through the cage as he passed, then he's sit and I'd pet his face. Lions scare me, don't even like them looking at me. Seeing a cat while in a cage or in the wild is really seeing a cat. Even playing with big kittens can make you apprehensive.
Visions of China - Japan
Somebody's Watching me - Rockwell
"He knows when you are sleeping!
He knows when you're awake!
He knows when you've been bad or good,
so be good for goodness sake!"
I see the Red Fairy has been here, thumbs up for everyone.
"Don't Bother Me'' by the Beatles
...So go away, leave me alone, don't bother me.
But the song that really srtuck me while in China was ''Watching the Wheels'' - John Lennon, it really seemed to describe me being in China.
mArtiAn:
I thought I knew every song they ever wrote. 'Don't bother me' is new to me. Know 'Watching the wheels' though. No longer riding on the merry-go-round, eh? I just had to let it go. But what can I say? Beans for dinner. Cut a guy a break.
TedDBayer:
had to google ''Don't Bother Me'', released 1963, sung by Harrison, appeared on album ''With The Beatles'' in UK, was on songtrack of movie in Hard Days Night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3bRA-Fks5w ...............
"Watching The Wheels"..people say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing,,, offical video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dD9_9giZm4
I wrote my own lyrics to the Jason Aldean song 'crazy town'.
Rather amusing I thought.
"Things That Make You GO HMMM", C +C and the Music Factory
"Did you know?" by TeddybeerZ
It's a really shitty recording of one of our original songs we did during practice (with an iPod microphone and hungover) which I found awesome at the time, but not so good in retrospect. Nonetheless, big nostalgia right there.
In the non-hipster-"2 underground 4 u" category, I'd say "Jeux interdits" (a.k.a "Romance"), since not only was it the first song I ever mastered on the guitar, but it also brings back memories of high-school, and was a great tool for wooing the ladies.
