Shanghai Noon
A Famous Chinese Drinking Game
Objective:
Many of us have seen the movie Shanghai Noon and saw how much fun those two had playing in the tub together. The object of the game is to sing a song and use hand gestures that go along with it. The first person to make a mistake must take a shot and the song starts over. View the video from Shanghai Noon for a good idea of how to play.

How To Play:
First you must make sure that everyone not only knows the song but also knows the hand gestures.
Decide whether you want to play the translated version or the chinese version.
Start off slow to begin with a couple practice rounds. This game is pretty difficult but impressive when drunkenly mastered.
Play starts with both parties singing the song at the same time while also making the hand gestures for each lyric.
As you start getting better everyone must start singing and repeating the hand gestures faster and faster.
If someone sings the wrong lyric or throws out the wrong hand gesture, then the song stops and that person who failed must drink.
Hand gestures are done when a number is sung.
If you are wondering, the number 4 is purposefully skipped to cause confusion.
The lyrics and hand gestures are below!
For added fun do hand gestures and facial expressions for words like big crab, blinking eyes, crawling crawling, and shrinking head. Messing up those gestures results in a loss as well.

Lyrics:
One crab with eight feet
páng xiè yī ya zhǎo bā ge
螃蟹一呀爪八個
Two pointed horns, what a big crab!
liǎng tóu jiān jiān zhè me dà ge
兩頭尖尖這麼大個
Blinking eyes, shrinking head
yǎn yì jǐ a bó yì suō
眼一擠啊脖一縮
Crawling, crawling everywhere
pá a pá a guò shā hé
爬啊爬啊過沙河
Two and two, who should drink?
liǎng ge liǎng ge gāi shuí hē
兩個兩個該誰喝
Three and three, who should drink?
sān ge sān ge gāi shuí hē
三個三個該誰喝
Five and five, who should drink?
wǔ ge wǔ ge gāi shuí hē
五個五個該誰喝
Two and two, you drink first!
liǎng ge liǎng ge nǐ xiān hē
兩個兩個你先喝
Three and three, you drink first!
Sān gè sān gè gāi nǐ xiān hē
三個三個該你先喝
Five and five, you drink first!
Wǔ gè wǔ gè gāi nǐ xiān hē
五個五個該你先喝
If you get to the end and are successful, start the song over from the beginning except go faster.
I'm sure there is more to this game that I don't understand, maybe one day I'll meet Jackie Chan and he can teach me how to do it in a bath tub somewhere.
