Hey guys,

This has been bugging me for aaaages and I mean ages, but can you tell me the name of a famous oriental song that is used as backing music in a lot of western programs about oriental places such as China, Hong Kong, and Japan... its REALLY bugging me!

Thanks!

I think 'oriental' has become an offensive term. Now we're supposed to say Asian.

Stelly · 8 Nov 2009 at 01:08

nah its a really old one, more traditional one... and no offence met, I dont keep up with my PC terms!

Could really do with some help on this people!

The 'really old' bit doesn't particularly fit, but this song was used all the bloody time by pretty much every travel or business programme, much to this Japan fan's annoyance:

Has it? Doubt that, I still call myself an orient, and there is a big supermarket called Oriental Market. I think the OP is fine.

Folk tune which Puccini used in Turandot. Quite well known...
