Leigh writes an inoffensive anthem for China

Leigh hits China with his dart.

Being quite worried about potentially inflaming political tensions with China, he manages to write a fairly inoffensive song about the country. He plays the music himself on a guitar. The lyrics to his song are as follows:

China, we are great.
China, we are great.
In spite of all the copyright laws you break,
China, we are great.
We are one, we are many.
We’ve got streams and mountains.
Home of the Yeti.
We’ve got the Great Wall of China,
And amazing Chinese diners.
It’s where I want to live my life,
Get a number 43 with rice,
Here in China.
Right here in China.

In the studio, when Guy Williams says he is disappointed at the lack of Mandarin in the song, Leigh claims that he did a full version in “Mandarin or Cantonese” first, but had decided that it would be “culturally insensitive”, since he doesn’t actually speak either language.

He earns 4 points from Jeremy for managing to “somehow just skirt round the outside of racism”.
