Here are parts of six songs that mention Taiwan. Which reference do you like best?
- Pat Benatar - Suburban King
The union man said you would be recalled
But the company up and moved to Taiwan
You counted on the Pension Plan, but you were outta luck
The union says you only qualify for twenty-five bucks
- Bloodhound Gang - Yellow Fever
I said I needed her to do and her to do my laundry
I knew she needed a way to legally stay within the country
She was made in Taiwan I said I’m O.K. with that
Just promise me you’ll never try to eat my cat
- Don Henley - Watching TV
Her grandpa fought old chiang kai-shek
That no-good low-down dirty rat
Who used to order his troops
To fire on the women and children
Imagine that imagine that
And in the spring of '48
Mao tse-tung got quite irate
And he kicked that old dictator chiang
Out of the state of china
Chiang kai-shek came down in formosa
And they armed the island of quemoy
And the shells were flying across the china sea
And they turned formosa into a shoe factory
Called taiwan
- Elton John - Li’l Frigerator
She looked so easy 'cause she looked so young
With a geisha smile made in Taiwan
She got cherry bombs inside her eyes
And the luck of the Irish on her side
- Weird Al - King of Suede
If you need a tuxedo for your junior prom,
We can get you the best one that’s made in Taiwan.
We got jackets with patches on the elbows, too.
And we’ll sell 'em all factory-direct to you.
- Bob Dylan - Union Sundown
Well, my shoes, they comes from Singapore
My flashlight’s from Taiwan
My tablecloth’s from Malayisia
My belt buckle’s from the Amazon
You know, this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines
And the car I drive is a Chevrolet
It was put together down in Argentina
By a guy making thirty cents a day.
