濛查查 In Cantonese, ‘mongcha-cha’ means ‘not quick-witted’.
‘Mengcha Cha Cha’ is a local dialect of Cantonese in Guangdong, which originally means not to see clearly, and is often used in life to refer to a lack of understanding and confusion. In fact, it refers to a wise man who does not speak, or a great fool who is wise.
So.....Let's Dance like a bunch of idiots.
Go-Go Wave in Mandarin World
In accounts of Taiwan's social and cultural history, such as Chin Fung's Years and Years in Taiwan 1900-2000 and Hsu Tsung-mao's Taiwan in the 20th Century, there are references to the 1967 ‘A-Go-Go Wave’ and the influence of American soldiers and officers stationed in Taiwan or those who came to Taiwan as part of the Vietnam War's Rest and Recovery (R&R) programme. What is hardly discussed, however, is the effect of this wave on the pop music industry. Beginning with Yao Su-rong's 1966 album Oh Summer Wine/Dream Couple/Agor (Episode 2) and ending in 1969, Taiwan released nearly forty albums in the Agor style over a four-year period, and that's just a search of the album titles, not counting songs with dynamic rhythms, such as Yao Su-rong's ‘360 Years of Love,’ ‘Like Mist, Like Flowers,’ and ‘Not Going Home Today. I'm not going home today'. Unlike the Taiwanese disco music of the 70s and 80s that I have collected, these A-Go composers are more diversified, including the familiar gentle Teresa Teng's ‘Hey Hey A-Go’ from her debut in 1967, Xie Lei's ‘A-Go Album / Bitter Wine Full of Cups’ from 1967 which belonged to a first-tier singer of the Qunxin Club, the King of Taiwanese Singing Yeh Ki-Tien's ‘A-Go’ from 1967, and the pure rhythmic Blue Star Band's ‘A-Go’ from 1967, as well as the purely rhythmic Blue Star Band's ‘A-Go,’ which is a song from the 1970s and 1980s. The Blue Star Band's 1967 album ‘A Brother Album’ was released in 1967. In addition, although it was already 1971, the Queen of Amis Songs, Lu Jingzi, also has a song called ‘A-Go Dance’ in ‘Selected Taiwanese Mountain Folk Dances’. This is actually a phenomenon worth exploring, because although at the same time Taiwan already had a wealth of popular music bands and excellent musicians, they were almost all cracking and covering Western rock music, and these A-Go albums and compositions were the first attempts by Taiwanese musicians to collectively create ‘their own rock and roll music’.

Ok, thanks... What I know is that the A Go Go and Off Beat Cha Cha styles were created first in Singapore, by Wong Ching Yian with Maurice Patton and The Melodians... It's a VERY interesting phenomena, mixing Chinese traditional songs with Western music and I imagine that every area in that part of Asia had their own style/styles based upon their own style/styles of traditional music... Would love to get my hands on the Cambodian records but those you really never see here, some with stuff from Myanmar (Birma) for obvious reasons.... Or stuff from Thailand, there must be a lot of that as Thailand was the place where all those American soldiers would go to relax and holiday back then.... And how about Japan??? I'm only scratching the surface here :)
Also.... I've always been wondering.... what's the difference between the A Go Go style, the Off Beat Cha Cha style and the Hala Hala style.... I don't really hear that much differences....
The Spacemen is Cool,I think the Best music from 60's in Japan is Movie Music,Listen to music of Yojinbo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_1iT_GmHTE Sadly this kind of music is exotica for Japanese people! Anyhow,Taiwanese Go-Go started with Cover of Lee Hazlewood!! 2Kool!!
