The best explanation so far of the 1997 Asian financial crisis (featuring Dr. M):

Yesterday, all my Soros seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, Ringgit’s not half the worth it used to be
There’s a foreign haze hanging over me
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why did Ringgit go, I don’t know it wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I have to pay for yesterday

Yesterday, shares was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Mm mm mm mm mm

There’s something about Mary

Before Jim Morrison became famous with the Doors, he and Mary Werbelow were soul mates. In the never-ending procession of Morrison biographies, she is mentioned briefly but never quoted. Google her, and not a single photo appears. She has never spoken publicly about their three years together — until now.

Singapore Ah Beng Paikia Song

15: The Movie
Typed in the translation for the Hokkien ah beng paikia song MP3 (DOWNLOAD), I’m not sure what its real title might be… It’s got the nicest machinegun background tough, hehehe… It was featured in the film 15: The Movie (directed by Royston Tan, Zhao Wei Films, Singapore 2003).

Threading on this narrow path
In search of someone I can trust
Knowing that the road leads to doom
I still choose this path of no return
Please do not reason with the truth
Expecting me to change by your words of kindness
I can’t offer an explanation for my life
Many say it’s because of Brotherhood

Young man, why are you always in pain
Is it because you wanted to play god
Why are you still so foolish
When you know this path leads to nowhere

Your gang call you brother
In the name of Brotherhood, you would even risk your life
If something ever happens to you
Where can your parents find their son

Please do not reason me with the truth
Expecting me to change by your words of kindness
I can’t offer an explanation for my life
Many say it’s because of Brotherhood

Your gang calls you brother
In the name of Brotherhood, you would even risk your life
If something ever happens to you
Where can your parents find their son
