It has been raining for the past few days. When the sky gets extremely gloomy, sometimes I inadvertently recall this Taiwanese number; a folk song with funny lyrics about a grandfather and a grandmother fighting over how to cook the eel that grandfather caught and ending up breaking the pot instead. Dark sky 天黑黑 is said to be a children folk song but the catchy melody is popular with adults too. I'm not sure who is the original singer for the song but the earliest version I've heard was by renowned songbird, Teresa Teng. I'm certain the original Dark sky 天黑 黑 influences Singaporean songster Stephanie Sun's Dark sky 天黑黑.
Which version is performed by English songbirds Mary Jess and Tazmin Barnes?
There is a 天黑黑 in this medley...
