♫♪  Meishi Smile x Ulzzang Pistol - “I Want It That Way (Backstreets Boys Mandarin Cover)”

“HAPPY BELATED YEAR OF THE MONKEY + 17 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF “I WANT IT THAT WAY.” WE WERE ASKED BY SOME COMPANY TO MAKE “A MANDARIN COVER OF A POPULAR AMERICAN SONG” DURING CHINESE NEW YEAR & THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. WE GOT REJECTED & WE DIDN’T GET ANY OF THAT RED ENVELOPE MONEY. SAD. BUT NOW YOU GET TO HEAR THIS. WE MADE IT IN A FEW HOURS & I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE IF TERUKADO OR NAKATA WERE COMMISSIONED TO MAKE A BACKSTREET BOYS COVER FOR A NEON CHINESE MALL” — Zoom Lens

And a raspberry vanilla cake is rolled out only to explode into trillions of Yuan. Everybody wiping tears of joy with fortunes just being stuffed into their pockets, wet with anticipation. Lights blaring and blinding but keeping the party so lit it’s like there’s no other way to live than celebration. 10-years of celebration. A decade dedicated to non-stop partying. Shaming American rap and hip-hop lifestyles. Knife money pants. All week like Crank: High Voltage. Feeling like wind has become part of your being. Navigation by-way of lost-at-sea. Backstreets Boys joining your entourage. Taking them on an underground tour only all their songs are now in Mandarin. Charting them in areas of the world so remote satellites are finally constructed to beam there. Eventually, it’s not even the real Backstreet Boys, but like two holograms, an android, and two shape-shifters —wait, no Nick Carter still kicking with ‘em.
