Chungking Express / California Dreamin'

For the weekend, a guilty pleasure.

The scene in Wong Kar-wai's film Chungking Express of the first meeting of Tony Leung and Faye Wong at that kebab place in Lan Kwai Fong, Midnight Express.

The (loud ) music is, bien sûr, by The Mamas and Papas . . .

RIP to the Midnight Express and even the California bar too. Ah well, at least we'll always have "Chungking Express" -- and Chungking Mansions is still around too! :O

Thanks to karaoke, I cannot hear this song without thinking of pregnant mamas, the lead singer with a tea cosy on his head and the fellow who looks like Bill Gates in a full length Indian-style dress.

Ah, the sundry perils of karaoke . . .
