A pop group in Taiwan named 2moro has come up with a cute remix of that funny Romanian folk song that became an Internet hit last year, and the Mandarin version now getting lots of play on MTV Asia is titled Shabu Shabu.
Here’s a link. Scroll down to the listen icon and click if it works, and if it doesn’t maybe someone in the comments can find a way to show us another link to listen to the song.
It’s very hummable and safe for work!

Backstory:
It’s not over until the fat lady sings. But if it’s a fat dude, and he’s lip-synching to an Eastern European pop song with lyrics about linden trees and Picasso, “over” will likely turn into “over-and-over.”
Case-in-point: After discovering the lip-synching fat dude on an Internet video stream, Jason Chu and his roommates can’t get the damn song out of their heads. So Chu does what any obsessed person would — he sets up speakers facing campus and jumps up and down to a play-list of his own compilation: the fat dude’s song, eight times in a row. Thus, the freshman class is introduced to “Dragostea Din Tei,” a Romanian pop ditty that has invaded U.S. soil via a rather unusual route.
Its chorus sounds like a cross between yodeling and an aria, and it’s relentlessly catchy. The “Ma-ia-hii Song” (to the uninitiated), or, alternatively, the “Numa Numa Song,” has infected college kids and internet surfers across America. The song, by the group O-Zone, inspires seemingly sane students to pump their fists in the air and mouth nonsensical words from the hinterland of Europe. Even the most staunch European-discotheque haters find themselves singing along: “Numa numa yea, numa numa numa yea!”
AND NOW: “Shabu Shabu lama lama lei” from a Taiwanese pop group where shabu shabu is a popular dinner meal also called ”Hou Guo” in Chinese (hot pot).

…then came the fat dude: 19-year-old New Jersey audiophile Gary Brolsma who decided to make a home video of himself lip-synching to “Dragostea.” In the video, Brolsma, a chubby blond kid with round glasses, lets his inner Euro-Trash fiend free, unselfconsciously throwing his arms around and wiggling his eyebrows in time to the beeps. Internet gold.

January 25th, 2006 at 5:27 pmFor what it’s worth, I can’t get the ‘listen’ link on the 5Music site to work on any of my Mac browsers— they’ve encoded the JavaScript used on their site in some weird manner that only works on IE/Win. Grr.
