By now you must have heard of the 2 national day songs for this year, 'There's no place I'll rather be' and 'Will you'. If you have not, then it is time to get out of your cave!! Mediacorp has been playing it countless times over the air and on tv. Which song do you like?
Well, I like both. In fact I like most national day songs coz they are close to the heart, especially those sung by Kit Chan. 'There's no place I'll rather be' reflects the voice of most people today or maybe I should say it reflects what the government hopes the young thinks today. These people are well-travelled and highly adaptable. They are constantly being courted by greener pastures so the only thing that can tie them back here are the memories, the emotional ties, the family and friends. The other song, 'Will you' is more energetic, more catchy but I can't really remember the lyrics.
I was on my way home after work and I heard the Yes 933 version of the national song and I nearly burst out laughing. The remix was so funny. I had to refraint from smiling to myself lest I end up looking like an idiot smiling to herself. I take my hats off the people who changed the lyrics.

你说要去PARIS 我听成PASIR RIS
长城有魅力 也很吃力
要爬上铁塔 非常EXPENSIVE
其实SENTOSA 会更便宜
这是美丽的天地 我的家就在这里
去到外地 我才发现
原来这里最干净
这里也有PULAU UBIN 要骑脚车也可以
你要很小心 别像周崇庆
不然少了四颗TEETH
这是美丽的天地 我的家就在这里
从JURONG EAST 到 PASIR RIS
TAXI BUS 和 MRT
这是美食的天地 有很多好吃东西
LAKSA CHAR KWAY TEOW 和那 LOR MEE
不满意有云吞MEE
还有SATAY 和福建MEE…
