You should see the video of my interpretive dance for the song.

I couldn’t find a muskrat costume so I wear a dragon costume.

A lot of people cry when they see it.

Looked up “Beijing Hooligans” and found “Peking Hooligan,” a punk song by the Buzzcocks. It’s also not something Xi would approve of.

Remember when the lounge singer on the Isle of Wight got busted for singing “Kung Fu Fighting? “ That could either become forbidden in China or their new national anthem. Not sure which.
