I heard about this song in a pretty amazing Harper's article called "I Was a Chinese Internet Addict," about a Westerner who checks himself into a Chinese Internet Addiction rehab clinic.

There are a TON of different versions of it, and it has been a massive hit in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. It inspired a 'sequel' song, also a hit: "The Mouse No Longer Loves Rice."

Has anyone else heard this? There is an English translation of it as well, but I haven't tracked it down yet.

(those were supposed to be Chinese characters in the title, but I blew it... can a mod-with-a-free-second delete them?)
