Not Taiwan
So, I'm drinking some yellow bellies and the wife is transfixed by the credits of Bourne Identity.
She demands I find the song played during the credits. Child's play for any non-senior citizen, but she is impressed. (Google search is indistinguishable from magic for her.)
Extreme ways. Moby. Ennnnh, sounded better with the credit rolling.
Anyways, bored, I plugged in Taiwan on amazon.com's MP3 website to see what would come up. Surprisingly, many bands use the words Taiwan, but have nothing to do with Taiwan.
Tex Taiwan - actually a Belgian industrial band or something. That's confusing.
Maiden Taiwan - ha ha, weird rap not from Taiwan.
Taiwan Typhoon - punk rock.
Anyways, I am forming a new band called Anglo-Japan. We sing in Swahili and are based in Brazil. Yes, we are all pretentious now.
My God, page 4 of the search result calls up:
Everyone Eats Taiwan Rice I think you use this one casually, acting as if you have no idea how dumb this song sounds. "What? Honey, don't you like Taiwan and Taiwan rice?"
Hsu-Nami - Passport to Taiwan cool name
Music you figure would have been suited to Taiwanese conscripts fighting for Japan in WW II in Pacific: Kiwi & the Papaya Mangoes...
Taiwan Ko-Ro seems nice...might even buy that.
If there was a Taiwanese version of Hawaii 5-O... this would be the theme song.
There are a bazillion more songs, from techno to jazz, but I will leave you with a nice song in old-school Mandarin exhorting Taiwan's economy to take off...
