Where Surfing Took Me Today

A comment thread that said this:

Search 劉鳳屏 for more.

The response was this:

I was searching 您在哪儿... That's why I couldn't find it.

You may well ask how white-bread-me got to such a site.

Well … it all started at FoxNews.com on Monday.

There I saw a link to a Will Ferrell Super Bowl commercial that aired … almost nowhere (Sherman, Texas, Ardmore, Oklahoma, and Glendive, Montana to be exact).

That’s because it’s really f***ing weird. (You’re not missing much if you don’t see it.)

But, I like the background music. Like, mind you … not love.

The thing is, it’s sung in Cantonese.

So I clicked on the YouTube link in the video embedded in the FoxNews article. I searched through the comments there, and there were plenty of other people looking for the song too.

And there was one comment with the name: “Mother, Where Are You?” by Liu Beng Feng.

Except that on Monday, if you put that into Google … it showed up nowhere on the internet.

But, I checked back to YouTube today, and there were over 600 comments … so the song has to be out there somewhere.

So I searched again, and this time there was a link to a Reddit page about the commercial.

Within that I searched for the word “mother”, which yielded a YouTube link to the singer: 劉鳳屏.

And when you get there, you find a song from about 40 years ago from Hong Kong. Posted in 2008, with 11 comments, 7 of them from this week, and one from the person who gave the title on YouTube. In those comments are the strings given above: apparently someone misspelled something. Perhaps the artist’s name: she seems to have also gone by Pancy Lau and Lau Fung Ping.

Ain’t the internet great?

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I believe which you should certainly write far more on this topic, it may well not be a taboo topic but frequently people aren't enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

One can find some fascinating points in time in this post but I don't know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Great write-up , thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner too
