西遊記(Journey to the West) is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century. It is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. Monkey King (Sun Wukong) is the main character in the novel who, after rebelling against heaven and being imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha, accompanies a monk on a journey to retrieve Buddhist sutras from Central Asia and India. He is a skilled fighter capable of fighting all goblins, demons and monsters away on the road (read lyrics below). Below is an interesting video mix: "The year of Monkey from White House."

剛擒住了幾個妖，Captured a few goblins
又降住了幾個魔。Subdued a few demons
魑魅魍魎怎麼就這麼多！Why there are so many monsters
（白：先吃俺老孫一棒！）Mind my cudgel
殺你個魂也丟來魄也落。You monsters are scared out of your wits
神也發抖，鬼也哆嗦，Deities tremble, ghosts quiver
打得那狼蟲虎豹無處躲！All kinds of evil spirits run for their lives
剛擒住了幾個妖，Captured a few goblins
又降住了幾個魔。Subdued a few demons
魑魅魍魎怎麼就這麼多！Why there are so many monsters
（白：先吃俺老孫一棒！）Mind my cudgel
殺你個魂也丟來魄也落。You monsters are scared out of your wits
神也發抖，鬼也哆嗦，Deities tremble, ghosts quiver
打得那狼蟲虎豹無處躲！All kinds of evil spirits run for their lives

Hello, 各位校友、朋友,
在美國，今天才是農曆新年。 在我們家鄉，農曆新年持續23天，直到大遊行, 所有的神回家（現在是一個國際活動）, 過年才完滿結束。
唉! 股市大掉, 魑魅魍魎怎麼就這麼多。請看視頻: Video mix using Obama to celebrate the year of Monkey. I was amused by the skills of the mixing.
