Eason Chan has been named by Chinese critics as the next God of Songs (歌神) after Jacky Cheung. However, Eason has more than once clarified that he wishes to build his own name instead, and not just be the successor of Jacky Cheung. There is a duet called 天下太平 sung by Chan and Jacky Cheung in the album Perfect Match by Albert Leung,Ronald Ng (伍樂城) released in April 2006. Chan and Cheung have collaborated on other occasions as well. They sang a duet of Cheung's 頭髮亂了 in a fundraising campaign for SARS victims in 2003.
Chan not only sings but also plays a variety of musical instrument including piano, violin, accordion, guitar and drums. He frequently showcases his musical talent by incorporating instruments into his live performances. Chan is also a song-writer who has written many songs, some included in his albums.
King Kong
陳奕迅 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
即管取笑我高脂肪
這King Kong
真的可一氣過哼一千首愛歌
根本不會怕L跟他怎講
只因一身脂肪抵擋得起炮火
大大大大大大大條道理
來日日夜夜侍候及承受你
單薄絲質梳化怎可媲美
成廿八吋大脾
*你話瘦多好看
但我話其實你沒有眼光
照道理這般看
下個大氣候會大興粗壯*
#你話要拋低我
但我話其實你還未夠磅
你話我應沮喪
但我話這是最大的解放#
腹肌一塊過 不必三尖八角
小姐可於脂肪中滑浪及遊樂
不必安慰我 即使多超磅
這胸襟都不須找軟尺去量度
份量就是力量若還未夠
他日就在月夜抱著大樓
全面為你爆鈕
Repeat* #
成廿八吋大脾
Repeat*
你便會欣賞我
用重量衡量愛情沒法擋
會像我般嚮往
讓重量去做最後的解放
In "King Kong," 陳奕迅 affirms his self-confidence and asserts that his size does not prevent him from achieving greatness. Despite being mocked for his weight, King Kong sings a thousand love songs in one breath without fear of criticism from anyone. He believes that his body fat can withstand any physical attacks thrown his way. He claims that his size alone allows him to breathe in more air and offers a unique perspective on life. He says that no silky sofa can match his weight, and he boasts of having a 28-inch spleen.
Throughout the song, King Kong challenges the societal norm that thinness equals beauty. He argues that his weight is a form of strength and that he finds liberation in embracing his size. He even empathizes with those who can't relate to him, acknowledging that not everyone has the same mindset.
Overall, the song celebrates individuality and encourages people to make their unique attributes a source of power rather than shame. It promotes the idea that acceptance of oneself, including flaws, is ultimately the key to true liberation.
Line by Line Meaning
King Kong
I may be mocked for having high body fat, but like King Kong, I can rebel by singing countless love songs without fear of criticism, because my fat armor protects me from judgment and insults.
即管取笑我高脂肪
Even if people ridicule me for being overweight,
這King Kong
I can still be like a King Kong,
真的可一氣過哼一千首愛歌
who can sing a thousand love songs without any fear,
根本不會怕L跟他怎講
not caring about what people say or think,
只因一身脂肪抵擋得起炮火
because my fat can withstand any criticism or insult.
大大大大大大大條道理
It's a simple fact,
我份量大就可吸多點空氣
that my size allows me to breathe more air,
來日日夜夜侍候及承受你
so I can always be there for you,
單薄絲質梳化怎可媲美
even though a flimsy silk sofa can't compare with me,
成廿八吋大脾
because I have a twenty-eight inch spleen.
*你話瘦多好看
You say that being thin is more attractive,
但我話其實你沒有眼光
but I say that you don't have good taste,
照道理這般看
If you look at it this way,
下個大氣候會大興粗壯*
the next trend will be for larger, stronger bodies.
#你話要拋低我
You want to put me down,
但我話其實你還未夠磅
but I say that you're not strong enough yet,
你話我應沮喪
You say that I should feel discouraged,
但我話這是最大的解放#
but I say that this is the ultimate liberation.
腹肌一塊過
You don't need to have six-pack abs,
不必三尖八角
or perfectly angular features,
小姐可於脂肪中滑浪及遊樂
Because even a girl with curves can surf and play,
即使多超磅
even if she's overweight,
這胸襟都不須找軟尺去量度
as long as she has a big heart that can't be measured by a ruler.
份量就是力量
The more weight you have, the stronger you are,
若還未夠
and if you're not strong enough yet,
他日就在月夜抱著大樓
you can always hold a building in your arms on a moonlit night,
全面為你爆鈕
and show off all your strength and power.
Repeat* #

你便會欣賞我
Eventually, you'll appreciate me,
用重量衡量愛情沒法擋
because the power of love can't be measured by weight,
會像我般嚮往
and you'll desire to be like me,
讓重量去做最後的解放
to let your weight become your ultimate liberation.
成廿八吋大脾
Because, after all, you have a twenty-eight inch spleen.
