514 Chai Chee Lane 03-16, Singapore 469029 A short 10-year-old clip of Dick Lee performing at his two-day 2004 concert is making the rounds on social media in 2014.
The reason? Probably because the songs still resonates a decade later. Or more likely, because people find the humour and mood timeless.
This wildly politically incorrect portion of Lee's Life Stories 30th anniversary concert still packs a punch when it is watched today.
Lee said and sang some really funny things in Singlish and dialect, including an introduction he made before belting out one of his numbers:
"And while we're on our national language, why not national song? Some of them are nice, the ones I write, but some of them are just crap."
He then proceeds to sing a spoof version of Count On Me, Singapore, taking a jibe at the patriotic government-endorsed song by Hugh Harrison, a Canadian, who was also commissioned to write other all-time beloved Singapore patriotic songs throughout the 1980s, including Stand Up For Singapore and We Are Singapore.
Oh, the irony of national songs written by a foreigner.
And talk about great timing and irony: In 2005, the following year after this performance, Lee was recognised for his artistic contribution and given the Cultural Medallion Award.
