I've been enjoying the hell

By at 6:53 pm Friday, Oct 26

I've been enjoying the hell out of a CD I picked up in Toronto a couple weeks back, Girls in the Garage Vol 9: Oriental Special. It's a compilation of 60s Chinese girl cover bands whose rare novelty tracks were discovered in Singapore flea markets and remastered for CD. My favorite is a singer who called herself "Nancy Sit" and covered Nancy Sinatra songs in Cantonese. Although there's no beatin' Rita Chao singing a "Yummy Yummy Yummy" in Chinese. It's the original Cantopop! Link Discuss
