shimmy shimmy: songs by old taiwanese & chinese singers

Artist Song
yao su-rong  today i won't come home 
yao li  love that can't get 
fang ching-ying  sell tang yuan 
yao li  rose rose i love you 
gong qiao-xia  roses in full bloom 
wu ying-ying  the moon tells my love 
zhang zhong-wen  barbecued bun 
li xiang-lan  tube rose 
yao li  one night stand 
zhang yi-wen  miss shanghai 
bai guan  autumn night 
yao su-rong  happy meeting 
yao su-rong  da la mei na 
zhang qi  shimmy shimmy ke ke ba 
yao su-rong  mango! mango! 
yao su-rong  home in taipei 
yao su-rong   the man looking for dreams 
zhang qi  dear barbie doll 
yao su-rong  where is love coming from? 
yao su-rong  flushing face smiling heart 
fong fei-fei  see the autumn lotus again 
zhang qi  halleujah 
zhang qi  cuckoo loony 
fong fei-fei  it's a small world 

Comment:

a collection of songs from various cds of old taiwanese and chinese singers i've picked up in the last year or so. song title translations and romanization of names were done fairly quickly, so may not be completely correct. track 12 came from a cd that was a freebie with a product one of my roomates bought. i've misplaced the cd so i don't know the name of the song, but even on that cd, they didn't know the name of the band.

Those titles look great. Any Mandarin, Japanese, Cantonese etc translated into English always has this weird poetry. See every kung fu film ever.

the songs range from the 1940s(possibly earlier) up until the mid 1970s.

oh, and according to the cd it comes from, the moon tells my love is not the same as yue liang dai biao wo de xing. that's a different song.

i've put teresea teng on comps before(none listed at aotm though). but she didn't quite make it onto this comp. as it's mainly stuff i've picked up recently, and i haven't picked any of her stuff up lately.

caipirinha, this comp is similiar to some of the things on those other comps.

menghsindy - thanks! :)

joey, if you've seen any old chinese movies or movies that are supposed to take place in china in the 40s-60s these sound sort of like that. some are a little jazzy, some are a little on the torch singer side.

Hey William. I came back on this site because they made it work again! This mix is tremendous, as I think I mentioned to you when you first sent it. I was wondering if you could tell me what the original Chinese name for 'flushing face smiling heart' was - I like this track enough that I'm thinking of trying to track down a vinyl copy. No problem if it's just to hand but I thought you might know. Hope you're well...
