You know, for Chinese New Year we could've also gone with "China" songs: China Girl- Bowie, China Grove- Doobies, China Cat Sunflower- Dead, China- Red Rockers, China- Tori Amos, China Blue- Paul Rogers, China- Wang Chung, Chinatown- Joe Jackson, Chinatown- Thin Lizzy, China Doll- Julian Cope/Teardrop Explodes, China White- Scorpions, Living In China- Men Without Hats, Chinese- Lily Allen, Chinese Democracy- Guns N' Roses, I Like Chinese- Monty Python, but Animals of the Chinese Calendar is probably a better idea.

Viva year o the bunny. I posted on FB...my mom, me and my daughter. All rabbits. Born under the cute, soft and furry sign.
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.

I suppose by playing "White Rabbit" she couldn't also play Jeff Starship's "Ride The Tiger" or "Dance With The Dragon" in this set, so we get "Eye O' The Tiger" and perhaps, as one FB poster joked, "Dragon The Line" by Tommy James.
