TanTe: 2011 爆紅神曲「忐忑」

Описание: Brief Introduction of TanTe (disturbed)

This Chinese folk song, originally performed by Gong Linna (龚琳娜) spreads like wildfire across all over the Internet in 2011.

No lyric, very funny but is nice to listen. The lyrics is a string of vocal, not translatable into any languages. It is described by many Chinese netizens as a "神曲" (Divine Song) that is almost impossible to imitate.

The song has been really popular probably because of that it has no lyrics but only the single syllable such as "yo", "o", "ay"(sigh), etc. The singer's funny facial expression contributed the song's popularity too.

The song is also tagged with a phrase of "You still won't learn it after you hear it for 10 thousand times".

Here's the "translated" lyrics:
