A masterpiece by Eric Idle. Love how at 2:06 the guitarist, I presume, cracks up.
Lol I had never noticed!
Wow, well spotted!
900 million when Eric wrote this. 1.4 Billion in the world today. You’d better learn to like them that’s what I say.
Multiply! Multiply!
And with the current demographic-crash coming... they may bounce back to 900 million soon. c.c
@@athame57divide! Divide!
there are even more Indians than Chinese nowadays. though it's harder to rhyme "Indian" than "Chinese."
Frightening truths from 1980.
I sang this for my husband, who’s Chinese. He giggled
My wife is Chinese and my sister married a Chinese guy. We are at the in-law's house now (3 caucasians and 17 Chinese people here, and I just played the song. Everyone loved it and began telling "You know you're Chinese if" jokes. My sister in law is married to a white liberal who is the only one here who finds it racist...
@@alpinoalpini3849 auto correct… you’ll live
I sang this song to my Chinese wife one day too. She laughed. 😂'I am Chinese too.

LMFAO
@doorgespoelde_pannenkoek thanksyou nice miku cinamoroll avatar
so hilarious😂
It’s the little high-pitched voices at the end that always gets me.
Alvin and the Chipmunks.
I was once at a Chinese restaurant and this song came on, and it played till halfway through before the waiter literally ran to switch it off 😂😂😂
lmfaooo
Nice
I thought the waiters aren't rude?
That's some classic shit right there
Isn't the turning off of this great song shows that the Chinese waiter was rude?
lyrics aside, this song has such a soothing audio quality to it
totally!
Lyrics are the best part
@@andyroo_902 Good lyrics need good music.
The lyrics are a compliment and tribute to the Chinese with a little joke about their short stereotype, if anything
My friends nan had this song played at her funeral.
Based

Was her last name Jing by any chance?
Oh hey friend ha ha
Your friend's nan was a baller.
It's off topic but the blinking light displays in marquees like in the animation here was originally done with a wooden disk with pins. When the disk rotates, it turns lights on and off as the pins hit wires. It's the technology used in those old Times Square scrolling news displays.
You just don't know how happy it makes me to think that someone took the time to sit down and invent that. Just one more little thing that makes life worthwhile.

You, sir, are awesome- for sharing that bit of knowledge. Thank you.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
That's very clever
Does that matter?
@@LazyEinstein So? International sales bring recognition, recognition brings money, and money keeps games coming.
I am so glad I grew up with Monty Python to watch and listen to. I had a few of their albums. Live at Drury Lane is brilliant.
Yeah... I also have the entire TV series on DVD. XD
Im chinese and i find this video offensively funny xD cant stop laughing
LOL
If you are truly Chinese, then I like Chinese too...
I love when people not are so full of themselves that they can laugh instead of always getting offended...
GorillaGuerilla I am truly Chinese but also half Irish soo yeah.. This is so fricking funny i cant help it Xd plus i love Monty Python :D
Ah, a fellow Chirish. Greetings, sir.
Patrick Murray Hahaha
Now I start liking the Irish too... LOL
And we’ll add this to the list of comedy you couldn’t pull off today 😂
I'm surprised that it's not banned like everything else!
I have a half Chinese granddaughter and I sent this to her family. They love it! 🤡🇬🇧
Reasonable people on all regions of the political spectrum enjoy good-natured satire. Very few people want to "ban" or "cancel" anything that's not outright hateful. I wish more people appreciated that, and we could tone down the discourse a bit.

Glad they made it back then 😀

I listened to this once and it's been in my head playing on repeat for 3 days now. Dangerously catchy.
how in the hell could I never heard this song before? As a Chinese, I love it, 1.5 billion of us now...also comes with xl size...the wo ai zhong guo ren part was so unexplainably funny...I really want to play this for some of my friends without telling them what monty python is...
We must hear the results 😆
It's been a while. I hope you survived.😂
I once (nervously) played this song to my students in Taiwan. They loved the "Wo ai Zhongguoren" part!
They only come up to your knees 😂
兄啊，这个15亿真的是最近的数据吗？可否给个出处？
I, a full on Chinese (Taiwanese) I approve of this song!
I'm dying of laughter, seriously!
@@dzwefc Oh hello mr charm offensive
I can't decide whether to upvote for the clever song, or downvote for thinking that Maoism is great.
@@RonJohn63 He just put that in to rhyme.
TAIWAN NUMBA 1!
You don't find this song racist, and politically incorrect?
Last time I heard this song had to be the late 70's or early 80's. A bunch of us sat out the drive in movies drinking beer and getting stoned when this came on. I laughed my ass off. Such good times. Little did I know that a mere 40 years later all my neighbors would be Chinese. Know what!? They have same problems as everyone else.
Eric Idle may just be the greatest comedy genius of our time.
He wasn't even the greatest comedy genius in Python.
Nah, vote 1, General Wanker, Leo. (Paul Hogan)
Prior to Eric Idle doing the bus thing, Mr. Wanker tried to stop a Ford F150(?) from driving off. Got towed, but watch out for the sudden stop at the end! The clip is 30 seconds, on CZcams.
YES!!!!
Pity this isn't as well known as "Always Look on The Bright Side of Life. "
@@111jacare I know that clip, I used to love watching PH.
But still, as good as he is, Monty Python is in a whole other constellation. Comedy before MP was someone on stage doing funny things, and then MP invented the sketch show. They’re the original.
reminds me of when I was a kid and my mother gave me the soundtrack and I listened too it all the time
I remember this song from watching "Monty Python's Flying Circus" on channel 11 (Chicago WTTW). I loved Monty Python's flying circus which came on Sunday nights at 10:30 p.m, if I'm not mistaken. That was in the mid to late 70's when I was in high school! Those were great years!!😊 Nowadays, there's nothing but garbage on television!😥
I stayed up late every Sunday night, even though it was a school night, to watch Flying circus on PBS.
Watch anime. That's good. 😃
10:00p.m. on local. PBS Ch. 9 in my area...from an OG Monty Python fan.
Is now a good time to come back to this?
Hahaha yes it is
Yep.
(Having heard the whole thign... Nope...)
The perfect time
no now is
Always
So I hear this was the song Boris played when welcoming Xi Jinping to the UK.
Probably not what he was singing to himself in ICU recently though...
He probably also had the late Duke of Edinburgh on standby for added comedy.
Wonder if there was a Winnie the Pooh nearby. (Not allowed in China they say).
Maggie Thatcher got the French and other EU leaders to pose for official photo on the staircase of some stately home. What they hadn’t noticed was the huge painting of the Battle of Waterloo behind them.
Listening to this at 6 am so it’s gonna be in my head all day.
Imagine this song coming out in this day and age. /cries on inside.
Can you say,"cancelled" ?
We could use it
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
they eat any animal they please
and every other year we get a brand new disease
Tell me, when did you first realise that victimhood was for you?
@@Wolferalbetter watch out for them law enforcement officers.....
I know this is a comedy song, but somehow, I relate to this song. When I was at university, some of the students was Chinese and I got on really well with 'em.
I think this song has a message; the Chinese are among those who have made a massive contribution to civilization and we should be thankful to them. I ain't just saying that.
+Johnno9989 You weren't at university studying English grammar, were you?
No. Why?
+Johnno9989 He's one of those grammar police officers that we laugh at on youtube.
I LIKE CHINESE
@tradie 4theladies we got The Donald in the white house and the Clintons kicked in the gutter😂where they crawled up from! Thanks Chinese for interfering in our elections👍😀👏😂💐💐💐💐💐
Eric Idle is a genius.😁
I guess he is poor now...... He seems to be working a lot
No, I didn't need a song stuck in my head, thanks.
Now you are lost. Because you:
You like chinese, you like chinese, pretty pretty pretty litttle please.
I´m sober. I´m sober. Where are the knees.
for anyone living in Australia this is where Bing Lee go their theme song from lmaoooo
I wonder if Eric Idle ever found out about that
Just realised
Peter A. Come on how? It’s one of the biggest companies from here
Lego James I think their stores are only in NSW/VIC. As someone in QLD, I only found them via their online store (only seen one irl in Armidale when we last drove down)
@Peter A. Bing Lee is an east coast chain of shops that sell electricals. It was founded by some guy called Bing Lee. Since his death, his wife and son have taken over
"I like Chinese. I like Chinese. They brought a virus by a sneeze, but Alibaba send my stuff overseas."
Way too funny!
Hahahaha that's good 😂
You can tell they wrote this song before the pandemic. Today they wouldn't even dream of singing it.
Eric Idle actually has a nice voice on this..went on to be in "The Ruttles"!😄
"They only come up to your knees.." I wish this was true. Arrived in Beijing and looked around at some of the tall buggers 'round me and said "DAMN! I'm still a short-arsed little bugger, Grrrr!" ;)
What if you are just really *really* short...
Really? When I was there, I had people taking pictures with me xD
I am 1,95m tho
Isnt john clease like 1.97cm tall?
they weren't fed as well back then
In Northern China, as well as in Mongolia for example, people are much taller than in the south of the country (as in Vietnam, Thailand, you name it).
The chinese fiddle is the best !!!!! :-) :-D 2:34 ... so epic !
Ni hao ma, ni hao ma, ni hao ma zaijien!!! HAHAHA! When does anyone ever say, "how are you, how are you, how are you GOODBYE!!"?
A bit abrupt I would think!

How many Anglo Saxons know basic Mandarin?
Three and a half.

Sully Flynn the Beatles had a song called hello goodbye
I live in China, I don't think it would offend many people. They are pretty damn secure in themselves I think...the country has come a long way since the 1970s....
Man, I could not imagine this song being written today.
Of course it could, offensive humor is still used today. Monty Python doesn't care who they mock and they are proud of it.
@@NotDuncan Of course, because they don't forget to mock themselves as well.
cyanide and happiness, filthy frank (RIP), most low-brow standup comedians, etc, shit like this still exists lol
A 14 a 7 a 9 and lychees pissed myself laughing , love you long time !!!!!
I used to listen to this far too much as a child, mind you back then it was on an old cassette tape since stuff like CZcams wasn't around yet.
When ever we went on Holyday by car - almost to france - we were not that rich, my friend made a holydaycassette for our car - this was one of our favourites. Lost her - but not this song :) Thank you so muchi
I'm half Chinese. This is so offensive, I'm dying of laughter. XD
yoyoheads So, your Chinese half is dying while your other one's laughing?
Im half Chinese, I'm half Chinese, my father he is Chinese.....
You being half Chinese is proof that this song is true
I am not chinese,but I speak a little:
"I vely like Lice"
Only the bottom half...right? ;)
Lets all sing along with this one to cheer ourselves up, its almost portentous!
This song, I owned an old cassette tape I listened to whenever I needed a chuckle growing up that had this on it.
For everyone saying that tiny trees are Japanese they did know that, it is called artistic licence, they all went to Cambridge, Oxford or Hatfield Polytechnic.
by Chinese they means all eastern Asian
Or maybe they knew that bonsai originated in China, where it is called penjing, or penzai, which is the origin of the word bonsai
"If Darwin is anything to shout about, the Chinese will surive us beyond any doubt!"
Only because the rest of the world is letting it happen. We do like those cheap electronics.
Another exotic dish from Eric, this one typically bland as tapioca, its principally homogenous surface concealing the cultural taboos lurking like mantis shrimp in its depths.
Brilliant & so ahead of time at the time! Who would have known? So under rated love it.
After more than 40 years, the message of this song is still current and true.
And then the pandemic and CCP concentration camps... ;)
I bet you they won't play this song on the radio
Lmao I'm literally listening to this right now because I heard it on the radio and was like wtf is this
This is highly inappropriate! … I love it 😂
song was made at a time where people could take a joke and there wasnt any “she/her 16yr acab peta emilys” around
_When your sad you _*_really_*_ understand the lyrics_
36 years have passed since this song came about, and the Chinese people are no longer stereotypically friendly... but now with 1.4 billion of us in the world today, you'd still better learn to like us! :-D
I prefer how to think of it this way
You don't fuck with me
And I don't fuck with you
Vangaurd Sounds pretty liberal
Pablo Andrés well i am a socialist so it should not be surprising
e
I think you mean tremble and shake.
I just can't stop listening to this song.
Eric is great at truthful, close to edge lyrics.
I like Chinese, but I couldn't eat a whole one !!
lol
Love the tap dancing in the middle. :)
MONTY PYTHON IS A CRAZY BRITISH COMEDY THAT HAS ALL KINDS OF CRAZY SONGS AND SKETCHES ❤️
Population of China has doubled since 1964
So now they only come to halfway up your calves?
Completely missing the point. 1 child policy has actually slowed Chinese population boom way down and India are the ones over-taking them in population issues. And ... Westerners would like them to respect human rights so they would have 3 billion people since 1964 but they ignored that "colonial" advice.
:)
I LIKE CHINESE
listen2meokidoki Err... ever heard of Xinjiang?
Honestly... The lyrics are remarkably prescient!
I'm chinese, interpreted the "little trees" as our women not shaving...which is very true. Abso-fucking-lutely hilarious!
Wouldn't surprise me if they intended it to be innuendo. Both the obvious one of Bonsai, and maybe about Chinese girls not shaving. Although personally, every Chinese girl I've ever met just isn't that hairy lol
I think they meant bonsai trees (which at Japanese anyway).
+814ckd347h Well, you're wrong. The time it was written women in GB didn't want to look like prepubescent schoolgirls. They even still had hair under their armpits, like normal adult human beings.
I thought he was talking about the literal little trees (bonsai, right?), but okay
That's an interesting interpretation. I don't shave either. It's a myth that all Western women do. I don't. Unless I wear a dres, which isn't often.
i was shocked when my dads side of my family (british) started singing this song while my mum,me and my sister (we’re japanese) were there. it was kinda funny but my mum had to walk out the room
Then you need to know why the British were happy... Cos they were part of the people who raised HK.. and gave away their own wealths to build the Southern China as well.... I now get why. Cos Mr Robert Ho Tung.. and his family.. if you trace their heritages.. they were Dutch people. As well as some Jewish ancestries too. Later on when the British held the shipping ports.. This is whereby the traders.. The wealthy traders.. were staying in HK to avoid from persecuted in Europe. Some were jewish, some were armeniens. Some British Indians....
czcams.com/video/8COoEA_9pO4/video.html
czcams.com/video/vbX65Q50sWg/video.html
Mr Tse... posted his family tree online as well. My uncle, well.. my family is also under the TSE name as well... And we're British. I didn't realise the connection.. but now I do.... Am very proud. To be honest. Some.. I mean.. if I was in their shoes... cos.. the British gave away a lot of money to the "chinese".... and that settled their score.. from killing one another... So.. maybe this is a bit of an actual "p!sstake too"... Hehehe...... lol.... FYI. The beginning of HSBC... was created. I think you should know what the British did.
It would seem odd that you're Japanese yourself and can't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese like that
@@chrisbarrett8377 ofc i can tell the difference it’s just back handed
IMAGINE IF YOU WERE REFERENCING A FAMILY PARTY AT THE LENNON HOUSEHOLD AND JOHN AND JULIAN WERE SINGING THIS AFTER A FEW PINTS!

2:20 I always thought it was "while I jump around" and never understood why.
Yeah that confused me, it was supposed to say "I like Chinese" in Mandarin, but the pronunciation leaves much to be desired
For some reason i misread it as "I Like Cheese"
"I like John Cleese"
But Cheese Does Not Like Me
Glad I’m not the only one
I like John cleese

We all do.
I live in China and showed this to my Chinese colleagues and they laughed when I explained the lyrics to them
Bonsai trees and Zen are both Japanese, not Chinese. I have to believe that this is the point, as Month Python are far too educated to do this by mistake.
Zen Buddhism is a mixture of Indian Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism. It began in China, spread to Korea and Japan, and became very popular in the West from the mid 20th century. Although Bonsai is a Japanese word, the art of growing these miniature trees originates in China, where it is called "Penjing" or "Penzai".
@@matthewhoffman9788 I'm a Taoist, so I knew that about Zen. Though I'd still call it Japanese as that is where it blossomed into what we recognize it as today. It is far more Japanese than it is Indian or even Chinese. In fact, I'd call it extremely Japanese for how minimalist it is, as well as being extremely repetitive/ritualistic and just having a very Japanese tone overall with it's simplicity which can be baffling to outsiders and newcomers, as well as it's extremely dry sense of humor, but nevertheless a humor that seems to be missing from most religions.
Edit: Forgot to add, as far as bonsai, I didn't know that. But again, I'd point to the same things about modern bonsai that make it a Japanese institution, such as ritual, minimalism, emphasis on small details, subtlety, etc.
@@augustgreig9420 The fact remains that they both started in China.
Eric Swalwell approves and has this as a ring tone
My first girlfriend was Chinese.
After going on a few dates nervously I blurted out, 'I want a 69.'
What a night!

how low is a chinaman how high is this brother?
He left out illegal fishing, killing sharks and shark fin soup and Coronavirus.
Yeah, every country has a few bad things. I'd still choose China over the USA, for example.
i feel an impending ironic resurgence of this hilarious track coming on, thanks to certain american corporations choosing profit over freedom.
Free Hong Kong, revolution of our times
Well yes but it's a little different now lul
edit: well
And certain people putting certain other people in positions of power who have no business being in those positions.
@casey I support Hong Kong. :)
Wow this comment didn't age well...
12.20 am and listening to this 😂
When my coworker showed me this somg, I thought it was completely stupid yet utterly hillarious
We used to play this particular song all the time when we were teenagers. This one was my brother's favourite song. 10 years later he married his girlfriend who is of Chinese origin which seemed particularly amusing to us with that in mind :-). However, she is not that small, she comes at least up to his chest (only joking ;-)).
I'm offensive and I find this Chinese.
Lol wut
Lmao
wat this makes no sense plus this came out in the 70's when racism was excepted.
Numbers say the like to be chinese
That’s razy lacism
This song is more relevant today than ever. Was Eric a prophet??? Lol
A nine, a seven and covid 19!
When I got the record "Monty Python Sings", with all kinds of hilarious songs on it I, could only listen to parts because I got laughing so hard I was afraid I'd pull my stomach muscles laughing. 🤣🤣🤣
Monty Python, with their special sense of humor are trying to tell us to appreciate the beauty of other cultures instead of hating the difference.
My grandfather thought Monty Python was a pervert. So whenever my dad put on I like Chinese in the car my grandfather would lose his shit and laugh. He just couldn’t stay mad when he heard this, the other one that made him die of laughter was I like traffic lights. It’s ironic, he was listening to “I like traffic lights” when all traffic lights turned green and caused him to get into a collision with three other cars and one truck. Surprisingly no one was hurt but everyone got out of their vehicles and the radio was still on so I like traffic lights kept playing. Ok I made up the story of him getting into a crash while he was listening to I like traffic lights but let’s be honest it seems plausible. Heck knowing my family this is likely to of happened
Finland! Finland! Finland! It is a place where I would quite like to be its mountains and forest and its TV!
Let’s hear it you Finophiles!
I finally realized this was from Monty Python/Eric Idle singing… I assumed it was Dr. Demento but I guess it was just in his show.
The Covid19 theme song...
BEAUTIFUL, WATCHING IN 2020

Genius
I wonder how many people would get pissed off if you played this in public.
Not many
Ich bin ein Beijinger
Deutschland die Schöne Not me! This is more of a cute displa of appreciation to the Chinese than racism. If you want racism, look no further than public universities' "affirmative action", which keeps hard-working Asians and whites down while putting blacks and Latinos on a pedestal of privilege. Also, during World War II, Winston Churchill frequently displayed his racist tendencies. For example, he did not want to include the Chinese in the UN Security Council, calling the inclusion of them "placing a pigtail (pigtail is a racist term against the Chinese people which stems from the period around and after the Opium Wars. It is parricularly offensive because the pigtail was legally forced upon the Chinese people by the Manchus under pain of death and was symbolically removed with big scissors during the 1911 Revolution) in the Tripod of Power (British Empire, Soviet Union and USA), despite the willingness of the Chinese army to fight with the British in Burma and Southeast Asia while facing a terrible Japanese onslaught from all directions. "Pigtail" is a racist term against the Chinese people which stems from the period around and after the Opium Wars. It refers to the hairstyle forced upon the Chinese people by the Manchus under pain of death during the Qing dynasty and was symbolically removed with big scissors during the 1911 Revolution.
Probably only vegans who don't shave their pits and burn their bras, or is that bros? Whoops I mean early twenties something uni types who study feminist modules and go to hipster bars and cafes
there's only one way of finding out 😂
My grandad sent me this when I told him Chinese food gave me food poisoning
It's not just wind turbines that chomp bats.
not all dogs and cats are died by nature
For those of you wondering what zaijien means, it means "goodbye" in Mandarin.
that trumpet solo though...as Marie Barone would say, "Totally without nuance"
Eric Idle's vocals slide into the late 1960s Paul McCartney range.
I like Chinese so much I married one. I love this song. I'd forgotten all about it. They only come up to your knees. Almost true in my case, as I'm 6'6". The first time I got on the MTR in Hong Kong, I was in the first carriage and I could see all the way to the end of the packed train over a sea of black heads. It felt very strange.
My bf is Chinese and I plan to marry him, and you bet this song is gonna play at our wedding
lol Perhaps you need to see our over 1000 years tree if you get a chance, love your voice !
This song goes out to my Chinese friend.
People who only know Chinese buffets need to find a high quality restaurant that serves authentic Mandarin and Schesuan dishes prepared from fresh ingredients. Speak nice to the waiter. They will be glad to tell you what's what. Order one familiar dish and something new. Share. You won't be disappointed. Do the same thing at other ethnic diners. Forget fast food.
I see... I'm glad my friend sent me a link of this XD
yes i do
ur welcome

Altogether now ! !
It's the right Time to share this song Ahah
When I dated my ex who was Asian, I'd secretly sing this song in my head. :)
Asian? Do you mean Chinese?
***** Actually Korean, but still I thought of this song which I didn't dare sing out loud lest I get called a racist or at the very least, an asshole. XD
Lmao. I know know why that made me laugh so hard but it did.
Oh, so it got filtered because of the link did it? I guess we're back to doing this. watch?v=RovF1zsDoeM&t=0s Unless, were you talking to someone else?
Also, I didn't mean to assume. I guess that's not rude but whatever. If it needs to be said then it needs to be said. And also, I like your avatar. I didn't notice that earlier. I like science too.
Robert Corbell you do realize “Asian” covers thousands of miles and hundreds of different cultures
I played it for a Chinese colleague at work. She very seriously confirmed that the lyrics were correct 😆
Yes, that is because chinese people could breed faster than you could eat ! LOL..... (This is statistically very very true. :) )
