Five Best...Chinatown Songs
#5. “Shoot Out in Chinatown” by the Band
Shoot out in Chinatown
They nailed up every door
They're gonna level it to the ground
And close it up for evermore
#4. “Why Can’t We Be Friends” by War
I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around
#3. “Shore Leave” by Tom Waits
And I wondered how the same moon outside
Over this Chinatown fair
Could look down on Illinois
And find you there
And you know I love you baby.
#2. “Fat” by Weird Al
My zippers bust, my buckles break
I'm too much man for you to take
The pavement cracks when I fall down
I've got more chins than Chinatown
#1. “Chinatown Calculation” by Doug and the Slugs
Whoever the new mystery man is
I've got to admit, he knows his business
You're reading me now
From the right to the left
And it's coming out just the way you might expect
Chinatown Calculation.
That's cool with no regrets.
(Chop suey, chop chop suey)

#6. "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas
They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip
SHOOT totally. wow. ok well hmm let's kick one of them out. it was so obvious too
