just a throwaway follow-up to my previous thoughts on copy-culture and original thought.. on #China's version of #TikTok - #Douyin,
- T'other day, someone did a Chinglish version of 'Row row row your boat' - which was unintentionally funny.. Cue ten thousand repeats of the same bad English video / song version - Anyroad.. it's'been pissing down lately, so yesterday afternoon while holed up.. and STILL desperately not wanting to start marking my kids exam papers.. I slung this together on my phone by way of indignant riposte..

- 'There Once was a Ship calld 'NotAFeckinClue, No or-ig-i-nal idea to do..
Sailed round and round C-O-P-Y Sea, Where all our brain cells drown..'
I mention another song in this video: 'Little Apple Xiao Pinguo - Listen Here - to my take on that anyway

I should add, what would you call it an annotation, to my criticism of 'lack of 'original thought'.
- I actually do think that there are a lot of people being very creative,
- adapting and repurposing things musically - and with dance and artistic things, and I think it's great.
- My concern is, as I've stated, that there does seem to be a lack of original thought, - especially in terms of original music and songs ~
- Music is my thing, and so, the lack of creativity, there.. as I see it.. - Musically, it's something that I will naturally be.. critical about. But that's not to say that I don't see that there is plenty of creativity around ~ there is! And..
I Love it!
