"China Girl" by David Bowie--a little obvious, but something to get the ball rolling...

You failed to realize on the album Chinese Democracy, there is a track titled Chinese Democracy. Mwahahahaa! But seriously, don’t play it.

Tori Amos - "China"

Posted by Mike in St Paul | November 16, 2009 9:18 AM

or you could actually play a chinese song. jay chou is taiwanese, but he's like the young michael jackson of the chinese speaking world. "cowboy on the run" is a song of his about being a cowboy (that drinks milk, because beer is bad for you). western culture from an other point of view for a change.

Going back to china -diesel
China town - the move

I know this won't get played, but I was gonna suggest China White by the Scorpions.

(Besides the obvious drug reference plus sounds like a wrestling entrance theme song)

Chinese Translation - M.Ward

"China" by Red Rockers. Off the "Good As Gold" Album.
Great early 80's new wave tune.

If you're going to play "China Girl," play the Iggy Pop version. Bowie is playing on it, and it's so much more intense than the "Let's Dance" version.
There's also "China" by the Red Rockers (a new wave hit), and "Seven Chinese Brothers" by REM.

Chinese Arithmetic by Eric B and Rakim off Paid in Full. Great throwback instrumental.
