Wait...Jackie Chan can SING?!?! (Why did no one tell me this before?)

(Reposted due to code borking...)

Maaaaaaaan, I love the Internet. Without it, I wouldn't be able to find out about stuff like this: Jackie Chan can sing.

In fact, he was the Cantonese and Mandarin speaking voice for General Li (which was voiced by Donny Osmond in the English version) in Mulan.

Of course, I'm all, "Wait, Jackie Chan can sing?"

Don't believe me? Here's Jackie Chan's dub of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan (I think it's in Cantonese. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong).



(If you want to see the non-cartoon video version of Jackie Chan singing the song, go here and watch him do pretty-pretty martial arts with a staff while singing.)

For comparison purposes, here's Donny Osmond's version of "I'll Make a Man out of You."



AAAAAaand right now I feel like an idiot because it seems to me that I should have known that Jackie Chan could sing.

As a side note, does anyone out there have a recording of Jackie Chan singing "I'll Make a Man out of You?" Because right now, I need to get my hands on this song the way some people need oxygen.

Oh man, you should get the CD "When Pigs Fly" or something like that.

It's got Jackie Chan with Ani DiFranco singing "Unforgettable". Yes, the "Unforgettable" that you are thinking of. It is really amusing.

You know, the whole brain-breakage thing...

You're totally not helping there.

Actually, I think Don Ho singing "Shock the Monkey" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5WOAxu28C0) is probably more brain-breaking.

Or Devo singing "Ohio" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAp_02ertnE).

Or Herman's Hermits doing "White Wedding".

It's brain-breaking in a really great way!

Right. There. With. You.

On both counts.

Found it (http://www.amazon.com/When-Pigs-Fly-Various-Artists/dp/B000067FTM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1214454500&sr=1-2)!

It's worth it just for the laughs!

Lesley Gore sings Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap! Too funny.

But the sample only had Ani, not Jackie.
