remember the name rang dong remix
This video and song is dedicated to my troop, Lien Doan Rang Dong (654).I made and performed this song on December 10, 2005 at my troop's Xmas party. The only recording of it is gone forever, but those who were there still have the memories. However, I wanted to share this song with other people. So I made a video (perhaps an MP3 in the future).Just a few things to keep in mind:-I sound bad on camera-I tend to mumble-I jumbled some words-I was reading off the lyrics; too much work to memorize-I was out of breathBut luckily, I got lyrics for you guys :-)Remember the name (rang dong remix)Are you ready?
