It was later included on the CD Monty Python Sings. The song has four verses; the first discussing how the world has become a terrible place (due in part to "nuclear bombs that can blow us all sky high"). The song then segues into a jaunty melody in which the singer states that he "likes Chinese". Broadly outlining stereotypes about Chinese people (an example of this is the stereotype that Chinese people are short, in the line "They only come up to your knees"), it also outlines the achievements of China and its people, including Chinese food, maoism, taoism, I-Ching, chess, penjing ("I like their tiny little trees"), Zen, ping pong, Yin and Yang, and Confucius. Near the end of the song, an erhu starts playing to add more Chinese atmosphere. The song is sung in English, and the fourth verse contains lyrics in Mandarin. The version appearing on the Monty Python Live (Mostly) stage show includes an accompaniment of dancers in Chinese costumes, and has additional lyrics, for example referring to the Chinese as "still a little communese". In Australia, the tune with modified lyrics is used in television advertisements by electrical retailer Bing Lee (as "I like Bing Lee").[2] References1. ^Monty Python Sings CD booklet. 1989 Virgin Records {{Monty Python}}2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/the-lee-who-put-the-ping-in-bing-dies-aged-75/2007/12/21/1198175341953.html|title=The Lee who put the ping in Bing dies aged 75|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=2008-01-12|date=2007-12-22}} 8 : Monty Python songs|Songs written by Eric Idle|1980 singles|Songs about China|Satirical songs|Multilingual songs|Cultural depictions of Mao Zedong|Cultural depictions of Confucius |
