Ping Pong
Dimie Cat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ping vit Pong sortir en smoking
Réajuster son brushing
Elle le fila jusqu'au parking
Découvrit qu'il enlevait sa ring
Ping aimait Pong qui aimait Ming
Que Pong s'arrange le planning et jongle
Toute la nuit avec Ming
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Résonna la pluie de balles
Big Bang killed Ming,
Ping a visé dans le mille
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Ressenti jusqu'à Shanghai
Big Boom all wrong
Pong sauvé par le gong
Ping suivit Ming à son shopping
Chinese manicuring
Qui rejoignit Pong à son footing
pour terminer son "stretching"
Ping aimait Pong qui aimait Ming
Ping ça la rongeait
Que Pong s'arrange le planning et jongle
FIni les nuits avec Ming
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Résonna la pluie de balles
Big Bang killed Ming,
Ping a tout mis dans le mille
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Ressenti jusqu'à Shanghai
Big Boom all wrong
Pong sauvé par le gong
A l'ombre au fond de sa prisong
Ping elle repense à Pong
Jongle avec ses briques de mah-jong
Comme les heures lui semblent longues
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Résonna la pluie de balles
Big Bang killed Ming,
Ping a tout mis dans le mille
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Ressenti jusqu'à Shanghai
Big Boom all wrong
Pong sauvé par le gong
Pong et Ming et Pong mingling
Sauvé par le gong
Pong et Ming et Pong mingling
Pong sauvé par le gHong Kong.
The song "Ping Pong" by Dimie Cat tells the story of a love triangle between Ping, Pong, and Ming. The lyrics describe how Ping watches as Pong juggles his time between her and Ming, and how she finally takes action to eliminate the competition by killing Ming. The chorus of the song, "Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling," is a play on words that refers to the sound of a ping pong ball hitting the table.
The first verse describes Ping watching Pong adjust his appearance and then following him to the parking lot, where she sees him removing his wedding ring. The next verse introduces Ming and highlights the fact that Pong is spending time with both women. The chorus then comes in, describing the sound of ping pong balls hitting the table during a game. The pre-chorus describes Ping following Ming and Pong on their shopping and jogging activities. The second verse repeats the same lyrics as the first verse with a slightly different melody before leading into another chorus, followed by the bridge, where Ping is in prison and thinking about Pong. The final chorus repeats the words from the first two choruses, with the addition of "Pong et Ming et Pong mingling" and "Pong sauvé par le gong" (Pong saved by the gong).
Overall, the song is a whimsical take on a love triangle, with elements of revenge and murder sprinkled throughout. The playful lyrics are bolstered by a catchy melody and a bright, upbeat musical arrangement that makes the listener want to dance along.

PING PONG
Ping saw Pong go out in a suit
Reajusting his hair
She followed him to the car park
And saw him take off his ring
Ping liked pong who liked ming
This was bothering Ping
That Pong changes his schedule and juggles
All night with Ming
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Echoed with a rain of bullets
Big Bang killed Ming,
Ping got a bulls eye
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Felt it all the way to Shanghai
Big Boom all wrong
Pong saved by the gong
Ping followed Ming shopping
Chinese manicuring
Who joined Pong who was jogging
so that they could finish their "stretching"
Ping liked Pong who liked Ming
This was bothering Ping
That Pong changes his schedule and juggles
Ends his nights with Ming
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Echoed with a rain of bullets
Big Bang killed Ming,
Ping got a bulls eye
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Felt it all the way to Shanghai
Big Boom all wrong
Pong saved by the gong
In the dark, at the bottom of his cell
Ping's thinking about Pong
Juggling with his mah-jong bricks
Oh, how the hours seem long
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Echoed with a rain of bullets
Big Bang killed Ming,
Ping got a bulls eye
Bong, Bing, Hong Kong Bowling
Felt it all the way to Shanghai
Big Boom all wrong
Pong saved by the gong
Pong and Ming and Pong mingling
Saved by the gong
Pong and Ming and Pong mingling
Pong saved by the gHong Kong.

Dimie Cat is the bee's knees and the cat's pyjamas. And I love the Louis Jordan 'Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby' piano riff underneath all this. Gimmie Dimie Cat all day, gimmie Dimie Cat all night.
