The Spring Festival holidays were prime time for the Chinese movie market, and the theme songs of the films have also become popular among cinema goers. On today's edition of Countdown we listen to the top five melodies.
No.5 "72 Tenants of Prosperity" "HAPPY EVERY YEAR" - BY ALL STARS
The song is performed by over a hundred actors in the movie, making it a new record for singers for one song. Heavyweight Hong Kong entertainers and young talents such as Kate Tsui, Stephy Tang, Raymond Lam, and Linda Chung give excellent performances in not only the film, but also the music video. The festive song has become a new favorite in karaoke.
No.4 "Big Soldiers" "RAPE FLOWERS" - BY JACKIE CHAN
"Rape Flowers" is a Northern Chinese ballad. The simple tune and action star Jackie Chan's mellow voice successfully deliver a soldier's homesickness and tiredness of war. The song is an ode to peace instead of war.
