This song was originally written by the Malaysian singer A Niu (阿牛), but it became more widely popular after it was covered by Richie Ren (任贤齐). The lyrics are fun and light-hearted, and it’s a really catchy song. It’s also a really popular song for guitar players to learn. When you hear it, you’ll understand why!
