Edit: Okay, apparently they are both on Avex label, which makes it slightly less random, but suddenly makes me laugh aloud, “Lol Howie Dorough is on Avex??”

This is oddly spellbinding.
And I’m not talking about her jiggling boobies.

Anyway, don’t you want to know why I started revisiting my TVB drama viewing history? Of course you do.
Teresa Cheung sings the theme songs to both the Return of the Condor Heroes series in 1983, and Bottled Passion in 2011. Her voice has pickled nicely for perpetuity.
P.S. Bottled Passion is so good! It’s weepy and melodramatic (as opposed to super weepy and totally melodramatic, aka K-dramas) and Niki Chow’s character and acting kind of sucks and I still don’t give a fuck. They are telling a well-constructed, well-plotted story and the characters aren’t acting OOC, and you can tell, as opposed to some shows I shan’t mention*.
*Heroes

You know, for the longest time, I was wondering what the hell the eagle was doing on a show called Return of the Condor Heroes. Then, at the moment of watching this video (a few minutes ago) I realized:
THE EAGLE IS THE CONDOR
Lol what the hell, man.
Ignoring the fact that a condor is a New World bird, CONDORS DO NOT LOOK LIKE EAGLES.
P.S. I totally need to make a GIF out of the first ten seconds of this video.

The stakes are so low that we eat off the floor
That’s what we’ve got long tongues for!

Sometimes I go whole days
listening bored, half asleep
I won’t say anything
that’s worth a thing to me
One day, suddenly, time
took a turn that once felt so brief
I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly
What begins as an unguarded
train of thoughts slowly can become
an addiction to the slumber
of disconnection and the resonance
of memory that no longer has a shape
but keeps you numb through
the hours till gone is another day
Be aware, my darling
these things I say I mean
are just traces of something
I long to feel again
I see our time expand
in the air almost forcibly,
spreading thinner till it dissolves completely

I had no idea they autotuned Double Rainbow.
It’s fucking catchy (the best part is the end)
