first black to ever arrive in taiwan!
My new Coco Lee CD just came in the mail.
Poor Coco. Apparently you could take Coco Lee out of Taiwan, but you couldn’t take the Taiwan out of Coco Lee — her American album was a disaster, so she went back to what she knows best: Taiwanese manufactured cheese-ness. Right down to the CD packaging (Space Channel 5 + Barberella + Asian porno = CoCo Lee’s new cover) and the album name “ZhenAiRen YOU & ME.” That’s translated as “Real Lover You and Me, I Have Shamed Myself and My Domineering Mother by Not Releasing a Successful American Album” for you white folk out there.
So I’m listening to the CD right now. A lot of slow R&B songs sung in Mandarin, no surprise. And then, all of the sudden, in track #3… oh my god, is… is that Silk E. Fyne? You know, with the ghetto “Romeo and Juliet” song? How the fuck did that happen? Did she like fly to Taiwan to record the song? I can’t even fathom the type of conversation they could have. Well, maybe I could:
CoCo: HA-LO Silk E! My name Coco Lee! Congratulation, You are first black to ever arrive in Taiwan! Please buy my American Album, make Coco to #1! *peace sign*
Silk E. Fyne: (puts down her joint, picks up her glock and blows CoCo’s head off)
Okay, my hate-mail will commence… now.
