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."

Above, the first song 通天大道寬又闊(Avenue of Babel, wide and broad) is an opening music from Chinese classic television series “journey to the west” sequel (2000). Click to see the Opening Theme of original TV series (I used some clips in my New Year video shown below). Below is the beginning lyrics with translation of the song.
Captured a few goblins
Subdued a few demons
Why there are so many monsters
Mind my cudgel
You monsters are scared out of your wits
Deities tremble, ghosts quiver
All kinds of evil spirits run for their lives
Captured a few goblins
Subdued a few demons
Why there are so many monsters
Mind my cudgel
You monsters are scared out of your wits
Deities tremble, ghosts quiver
All kinds of evil spirits run for their lives
