周杰倫 《三年二班》 Class Ping Pong
眼睛你要擦亮，記住我的模樣 表情不用太緊張，我是三年二班 我專心打球的側臉還滿好看 黑板是吸收知識的地方，只是教室的陽光 那顏色我不太喜歡，沒有操場的自然 為何比較漂亮的都是在隔壁班 還有考卷的答案，我剛好都不會算 沒關係，再繼續努力，沒關係 為甚麼上課時舉手很難， 為甚麼拿線上寶物簡單 為甚麼女生不喜歡太胖， 為甚麼別人手機在響 正手發長球的打法只是初級乒乓 反手短打再狠狠殺球是高級乒乓 迴轉技巧乒乓，前場速攻乒乓 對牆壁，在練習，乒乓，乒乓 這第一名到底要多強 (不用問 一定有人向你挑戰) 到底還要過多少關 (不用怕 告訴他們誰是男子漢) 可不可以不要這個獎 (不想問 我只想要留一點汗) 我當我自己的裁判 (不想說 選擇對手跟要打的仗) … 我不想，就這樣一直走 每天都遇上，充滿敵意那種眼光 等機會，就是要打倒對方 這種結果我不要，這虛榮的驕傲 這目的很好笑，我其實都知道，你只是想炫燿 我永遠做不到，你永遠贏不了 我永遠做不到，你永遠贏不了，永遠贏不了 走鄉下 尋找哪有花香 (為甚麼 這麼簡單你做不到) 坐車廂 朝著南下方向 (為甚麼 這種速度你追不到) 鳥飛翔 穿過這條小巷 (為甚麼 這麼簡單你做不到) 仔細想 這種生活安詳 (為甚麼 這種速度你追不到) 不好笑 不好笑 不好笑

Title: 三年二班 (Class Ping Pong). Singer: 周杰倫 (Jay Chou). Lyrics: 方文山. Music: 周杰倫 (Jay Chou). Arrangement: 洪敬堯. Translation: 李杀 (Xah Lee).
The story as told by the music video is not that good.
This song much describes the mentality of a highschool student, his fascination with table tennis, his school scenes, his thoughts, his crazed dedication to the sport, and finally, his achievements due to his love of the subject. After reading the lyrics full, you see that near the end, the song's meaning changes. It turns into a philosophical statement about discarding the pursuit of success. Rather not well done. But, in the end, the repeated sequence of “not funny”, makes it into a sort of self mockery.
