Jeannie Hsieh 謝金燕 - 姐姐 Jie Jie (Sister)

Hello hello again! Me again, me again!
As the title indicates, this post will be about...... Jiejie!

People definitely know this song. That's right, 姐姐 (Jie Jie) was the most popular song in 2013 ever since it has been released. Not only because the singer is Jeannie Hsieh (謝金燕). This is also a promotional song for an online dancing game in Taiwan. More special, she composed almost the whole song herself. Amazing, huh?

Let's talk about the singer. You definitely know her by several of her songs like 含淚跳恰恰 (Han Lei Tiao Qia Qia / Kam Lui Tiao Cha Cha), 練舞功 (Lian Wu Gong) and 嗶嗶嗶 (Beep Beep Beep). Who would have thought that she's almost 40? If you look at the music video, you would think that it's a 20-going-to-30 woman singing. Man, she's still hot and gorgeous in such an age!

I also like this song, and her other songs. But now, since I'm focusing on writing this post, I repeated this song many many times. And now I'm starting to understand what this song is about. Basically this is about 2 people in an online dancing game, the girl is older, and the younger boy is attracting her.

And this song became her hit again, along with the online game of course. Yes, she succeeded this time again! Even though her songs are mostly in Hokkien, this time, Jie Jie is in Mandarin.
And look at that number! As per today, February 21 2014, 10:27 AM GMT+7, the video hit 12,912,867 views. Nice one, Jeannie!

* NOTE:
- The "跳針跳針" part of this song is basically the sound of records playing, when the needle is going to be placed in the record at a gramophone..
- The "咚吱咚吱" part of this song is the sound of the beats in the music playing in the nightclub.
- 趴 literally means lie (lying on the floor), but based on the lyrics, 趴 is used to replace the word Dancing Par(tner) or Dancing Par(ty) which is actually suitable for continuing the word "Par". Not the "Par" word in golf, of course.
- 唯舞獨尊 (Wei Wu Du Zun) is the name of a dancing online game at Taiwan. The English name of this game is called "We Dancing Online". These words literally means "Dancing Forever".
