[edit] Relationship to the Asian Riff
I'm writing an article in which I'm trying to track down the origin of the "Asian riff"-- the short little musical phrase that is the the quintessential stereotypical chinese music.
The "Asian riff" I'm referring to has been used in a lot of different songs, like 1974's "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas, "Bad Detective" by New York Dolls, and 1980's "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors.
A short clip (and sheet music) of the riff is available at: Asian Riff
Does anyone know if this musical phrase is included Chu Chin Chow?
