歌... (Song)

Recently came across a song by this Taiwanese host/singer/comedian 康晋荣, otherwise known as 康康 (Kang Kang)...

"Yeah" you're asking, "You mean that guy SING??"

Seriously he ain't really your "King of Chinese Pop" kinda singer... I dare say his vocals ain't even above average. Yet the weird thing is, when he started singing "live", the image of Kang Kang the comedian goes right out of the window.

My Dad said he looked... different when he sings.

He became, not the Funnyman, but the Everyday-man, someone you wouldn't take notice when he is walking along the street...

His songs (though not all written by him) reflect that personality exactly, the song of the common man.

Simple, yet full of emotion... something I can identify myself with.

Anyway back to that particular song.

Included in his latest album "管你妈妈嫁给谁" is the song "你不爱我". It is often said that one of the most difficult feat for a comedian to pull off is to perform a love song, or a tune full of melancholy. To make it even more difficult, "你不爱我" is a combo of both.

Kang Kang creates magic when belting out that song... enough said.

Did I say his vocals' below average?

You be the judge.

习惯被拒绝的人会先拒绝
这一次至少是我先说离别
有一些痛楚看不见泪水
有一种防卫叫做"我无所谓"

要让你快乐原是我的心愿
可是你从不在意我的伤悲
丢给我一些喜悦的碎屑
却带走我一切

你不爱我是我舍不得
是我不配为你再狼狈
你不爱我你真的不爱我
尽力而为我拼命给也是浪费

你不爱我是我舍不得
是我不配和命运作对
你不爱我你真的不爱我
一直以为我是后卫原来只是那后备

Shed a tear for this guy yah?
