In Robert Anton Wilson’s Shrodinger’s Cat trilogy (I forget which volume), there’s a scene when a famous porn star is volunteering in an experiment on the upper limits of human sexual arousal. She gets so worked up that she starts sending out telepathic waves of horniness that affect the behavior of unsuspecting people. (Rather like Emperor Wang’s sex ray in Flesh Gordon.) At one point, a guy is walking past the grounds of St. Theophobia’s Convent at night and is astonished to see all the sisters marching around naked, singing a song he recognizes as “Mister Wong Has the Biggest Tong in Chinatown.”
Do any of you know this song? I know a lot of ribald ditties but I’ve never heard of this one, outside of this particular book.
Asssuming the lyrics can be translated into Mandarin and still scan, someday this tune might make a great national anthem for post-communist China.
