This is news to me. People go to Ktvs to sing? I was under the impression that people went there to pick up hookers and beat up women. Chinese society is finally moving forward.
‘One Night In Beijing’ banned?! There goes my entire repertoire.
@Curren$y: yes, there are lots of normal KTV chains for normal people who just want to have a drink and a sing-song with their friends and colleagues.
Banning fairly innocuous songs appears to be a sign of a society moving backwards.
James, @Curren$y knows that.
He is a troll – don’t pay attention at him.
This is China for you.
So what’s wrong with these songs? Inharmonious lyrics?
One night in Beijing banned! That’s pretty crazy. I hope the Beastie Boys selections are still up 😀
makes me wonder if there is something like that in English radio stations for Gary Glitter songs?
be it self censorship from your editor or external from you local mayor, it’s still censorship!!
Come on! Come on..
have you noticed? all these artists are from taiwan….
and there’s one song “wo ai tai mei” – “I love Taiwanese Girls”
WTF is wrong with Zhejiang. Jeez.
Good observation. This lends credence to the speculation that this might be licensing related.
this is a fake report.

Mel is right:

“执法处姚处长表示:浙江省文化厅从没有发过这样的有关“37首违禁歌曲”的文件,他们正在追查错误消息的来源。”
“executive director Yao said: Zhejiang Cultural Administration did not issue anything relating to the 37 banned songs, they are looking into source of the misinformation.”
Thanks for the update!
…Could be worse…
