China, Chinese

(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
David Bowie
and the money that i make
can't pay the china that i break
"in love with a clown" (fury in the slaughterhouse)
Well there's no verse to this song
'Cause I don't want to wait a moment too long
To say that
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All myself alone
To get you to keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all your lovers weeping on the far-away shore
Out on the briny with a moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
(Frank Loesser)
If we were singing in person, you guys would definitely let me have this one, because I know enough to go "da dah-da-dee-DUMP... to make the tune recognizeable until it gets to the phrase
"...but a heathen Chinese
and they go bark, bark, bark, bark..."
It's from Cats, when they're dressed up like dogs.
Chickety China
the Chinese chicken
have a drumstick
and your brain stops tickin'
watching x-files with no lights on
we're dans la maison
I hope the smoking man's in this one...
---Barenaked Ladies, "One Week"
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return
Ricky Nelson, "Travellin' Man"
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
Suzanne
Leonard Cohen
China all the way to New York.
I can feel the distance getting close.
Tori Amos
Wow! I get to play a new song, instead of my usual forays into the music of last century:
If they were missionaries,
Real-time visionaries,
Sitting in a Chinese stew,
To view my disinfatuation.
Axl Rose with the "new" Guns and Roses - Chinese Democracy
Well, she'll take you for a ride
On a slow boat to China.
Tell me, where in the world is
Carmen Sandiego?
from the TV game show
THANK YOU SALLY!
I had the rhythm and phrase in my head of "slow boat to china" and I knew it was fifteen years or so ago but couldn't get a tune or picture to place it!!!!
I stood at the top of the mountain
And China sang to me
"Tai Shan" - Rush
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
I like their tiny little trees
Their Zen,
Their ping pong
Their yin-and-yang-ese
-Monty Python
Last night I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China
In a little rowboat to find you...
(no idea. Something from the early '80s)
i cant't believe this song *points below* hasn't been played yet - it was the very first thing that came to my mind, but i thought i'd leave it for someone else... but if nobody's gonna do it... *shrugs* it CAN'T be missing in this list! :D
don't push too far
your dreams are china in your hand
"china in your hand" (t'pau)
Chinese music under banyan trees
Angular banjos sound good to me
"Aja," Steely Dan
