A Chinese Lesson

A Chinese Lesson is the twenty-third song sung in Total Drama World Tour during Chinese Fake Out. It is sung by Chris and the competitors (except Courtney) during the eating challenge. This song is broken up by long patches of dialogue. The gaps between the stanzas are where the eating challenges are performed.

Lyrics
Chris: A little Chinese lesson for you, manman chi means "enjoy your meal". Everyone (except Sierra and Courtney): Manman chi, it's no raw deal. Cody: Is it roasted eel?

Chris: Manman chi means "bon appetite". Everyone (except Cody, Sierra, and Courtney): Manman chi, what do we have to eat? Heather: It's still moving its feet!

Chris: Manman chi, it's dinner for four. Blaineley, Alejandro, and Duncan: Manman chi, we've got room for more. Duncan: I think I'm nearly done for.

Chris: Manman chi, don't get the squirts. Blaineley and Alejandro:  Manman chi, we'd rather eat our shirts! Heather:  Wait, stop!

Blaineley and Alejandro:  Manman chi, man, man, chi. Chris: They love to eat on the Yangtze. Manman chi, man, man, huh? Blaineley and Alejandro: (both vomit) Sierra: Cody's in first class with me, and my love-me tea!

Trivia

 * This is the first and only song to be started by Chris.
 * This is also the second song sung by Chris, the first being Blainerific.
 * This is the second and last song Blaineley sings in, the other being Blainerific.
 * Courtney is the only contestant not to sing in this song. Thus, this is the fifth song that Courtney does not sing in (excluding Aftermath songs), with the others being Gypsy Rap, Paris, Oh Izzy Mix, and Greek Mix.
 * However, Courtney does have speaking lines in Greek Mix.
 * This is the first (and only) song to be interrupted in between verses with scenes of dialogue, thus being sung in parts.
 * This is the first song in which a singer is eliminated with each verse. Thus, the amount of singers decreases by one with each verse, excluding the last two verses.
 * This is the first song Cody has sang in eight episodes, excluding aftermaths.
 * Each contestant that sings or says the last line of a stanza is eliminated in that round.
 * Also, Sierra sits beside the character that is eliminated next in the song.
 * In the song, Chris wears a traditional Chinese opera costume with makeup.
 * Sierra's final line is also sung in Chinese Opera style.
 * Manman chi can mean either "eat slowly" or "indulge yourself in food" in Chinese.
 * The Yangtze River, referred to in the song, is a river in China.
 * This is the first song to feature barfing.
 * Throughout this song, Blaineley looks disgusted, despite knowing she had better food. This was most likely pretend, so the other contestants wouldn't find out.
 * The fact that Chris said "Huh?" means that the song would have probably gone on but was interrupted by Blaineley and Alejandro puking, thus ending the challenge.
 * Everyone except Cody and Duncan have taken off their shoes, and all are in the lotus position.
 * The final three in the eating challenge are the newcomers to the competition.
 * This is the last song of the season that either Chris or Blaineley sing in.

Goofs

 * The chi is not pronounced chee, but in Chinese it is more of a cher, with a schwa.
 * Although Christian Potenza stated in several interviews that Chris doesn't get to sing, this is the second song Chris has sung in so far, the other being Blainerific.
 * In the second stanza, Duncan's mouth is not synced with the audio.
 * Heather says "It's still moving its feet!", despite the fact that worms don't have feet.
