China's Red Army Sings Michael Jackson?!

NTDChinaUncensored·Published on Jun 12, 2013

The Red Army Sings! and Michael Jackson is its song of choice. The Red Army choir was put together in the 1960's to sing of the glory of the Chinese Communist Party during the Long March (which were actually a series disastrous military retreat in the 1930's). But China's army of netizens have turned the movie into a popular internet meme, reediting the footage to popular songs, like Michael Jackson's Beat It, Usher's Yeah, Lady Gaga, even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

- Does anyone know how to spell ''booty'' in Chinese? Since it's in the lyrics I'm assuming they had to spell it out at some point.....
