Asian Riff, asian girls images, pics

The Asian Riff is a musical riff or phrase that is often used to represent Japan, China or a generic east Asia theme. The riff is also known by an extremely diverse set of names: "The Chinese Melody", "The Stereotypical Oriental Tune", "The Asian Jingle" or the even the "trope of musical orientalism".

It remains an open question as to whether the Asian riff has an actual Asian origin or is purely a Western invention. The notes used in the riff are part of a pentatonic scale, giving the riff a resemblance to Asian music.

In popular culture

The "Asian Riff" has been included as part of numerous musical works. One of its most famous incarnations was in the 1974 hit single "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas. The riff has been included in a number of other popular songs, including "Bad Detective," first recorded by The Coasters (1964) and covered by New York Dolls (1974), "A Passage to Bangkok" by Rush (1976), "Blazing Apostles" by Bebop Deluxe (1976), "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors (1980), "China Girl" by David Bowie (1983) and "Young Folks, by Peter Bjorn and John (2006).

The riff is sometimes accompanied by the sound of a gong.

Zach Galifianakis, a contemporary musical comedian, includes the Asian Riff in his act: Whenever my Asian roommate walks in the door, I play this. He plays the Asian Riff. And she says "Zach, why do you do that every time I come in the room?" and I say "Because I don't have a gong."
