kevcal Posted October 4, 2017 at 07:15 PM Report Posted October 4, 2017 at 07:15 PM Hi, first post ;) Back in 1994 I was working in Beijing for a couple of weeks (believe it was October, (it was expocomm 1994) but I could be wrong about the month).Whilst there, in my hotel room I had (I think) VH1 playing a lot of the time the evenings.. I recall a female VJ doing amongst other things, a parody of Michael Jackson's Thriller at the time.. Her playing his girlfriend.. Anyway my real question is about 2 or 3 songs that I've had stuck in my head all these years..One was a girl singing (I believe it was probably the top of whatever music chart was playing) and all I recall is her singing whilst lying on a beach... Another, the video appeared to be about two friends, who appeared to fight to the death at the end of the video..There were others and I know my descriptions are sketchy, but is there possibly a chart list somewhere for that time or does this trigger any memories with anyone..?Very little chance I guess in tracking down these songs but thanks for reading this far anyway Kev Quote
889 Posted October 5, 2017 at 03:22 AM Report Posted October 5, 2017 at 03:22 AM On youtube someone;'s got a channel with 75 pop songs from 1994, so you can scan through them and maybe get a hit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3vdb9Dhyac&list=PLQ1WkvvAc--enSBFA507upYqBZRcDAAwt 1 Quote
kevcal Posted October 5, 2017 at 06:13 AM Author Report Posted October 5, 2017 at 06:13 AM Ooh, thanks for the link. I'll have a look / listen today and report back Quote
kevcal Posted October 6, 2017 at 10:15 PM Author Report Posted October 6, 2017 at 10:15 PM Thanks for that, some really nice songs on that list but not the ones I'm looking for.. Unfortunately I have no idea what language these songs were sung in Quote
kevcal Posted October 6, 2017 at 10:28 PM Author Report Posted October 6, 2017 at 10:28 PM Just remembered.. The tv channel was called 'Channel V' and the year was definitely 1994 if that's of any help... Quote

kevcal Posted October 9, 2017 at 05:55 PM Author Report Posted October 9, 2017 at 05:55 PM No clues on that wikipedia page, but interesting to read. That song is quite old, I think (from what I recall) all these songs were of 1994.. Being English, unfortunately I couldn't (then an probably now) differentiate whether these songs were actually Chinese or not. Quote
