Anyway, back to Lee. For some reason it always reminds me of the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe~ it gives me that same haunted feeling.

Cover your eyes iuv. (i'm apologizing in advance for the following)

Thanks @stevil for the heads up I was aware of Sa Dingding's origin - I looked her up when I first heard the track. @iuventus got my drift an attempt at humour which clearly failed in some quarters. :-)

Annabel Lee

BY EDGAR ALLAN POE

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Knock knock
Who's there?
Pedant !

I think the actual tounge used in that particular version was not the point. The point was it sounds ( to some) to be incongruous to the song.
One man's milk as they say .... Or

oh and re: "turning Japanese" @Appy61

from wikipedia:

Sa Dingding (simplified Chinese: 萨顶顶; traditional Chinese: 薩頂頂; pinyin: Sà Dǐngdǐng, born Zhou Peng (周鹏), 27 December 1983^{[citation needed]}) is a Chinese folk singer and songwriter. She is of mixed Han Chinese and Mongol ancestry, and sings in languages including Mandarin Chinese, Sanskrit, Standard Tibetan, as well an imaginary self-created language to evoke the emotions in her songs. She also plays traditional instruments such as the guzheng and morin khuur

can we please learn to google before making assumptions

 

*holding my tongue from further comment*

Why do you hate alternative facts?

And then people wonder why nobody comes here anymore. People need to stop nitpicking trivial, benign comments meant as a bit of light hearted humour. I can't be bothered anymore.

Well I see everyone just ignored my brilliant, insightful 'Poe' allusion. As we say in the states "whatever motherfuckers." ....carry on.
