However its stress on blind filial piety also scares me--especially when I hear of Chinese friends that need to work in their parent’s restaurants in weekends next to their full-time jobs. Anyway, I just wanted to share this parody by the Taiwanese girl group S.H.E. Selina, Hebe and Ella reproach Jay Chou (and by extension his kind of tough or diao masculinity) for abandoning girls with lame excuses. In doing so comically, they also contradict Marc Moskowitz contention in _Cries of Joy, Songs of Sorrow_ (2010) that in Taiwanese pop music humor is a male domain (page 97). S.H.E.’s “Excuses” samples parts of “Listen To Your Mom” but also refers to many other songs by Jay Chou, in the chorus for instance, “The Same Tune,” “Orbit”, “Battle of Caged Animals”, “Chaotic Dance of Spring and Autumn”: Listen to your mom Don’t break my heart Your lame excuses Divide you and me The same tune Orbit-less hurt Blind excuses Drift you and me apart A battle of caged animals In-in-in-in-in-in-in In this chaotic dance of spring and autumn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXSofGPUumI Jay Chou’s great, and so is this song.

Listen to your mom
Don’t break my heart

Your lame excuses
Divide you and me

The same tune
Orbit-less hurt

Blind excuses
Drift you and me apart

A battle of caged animals
In-in-in-in-in-in-in
In this chaotic dance of spring and autumn
