Stevie wonder is playing his first gig in China and the place is packed
(Before anyone thinks I'm predjudiced, I'm chinese)
In a bid to break the ice with his new audience he asks if anyone would
like him to play a request.
A small old chinese man jumps out of his seat and yells,
"PLAY A JAZZ CHORD! PLAY A JAZZ CHORD!"
Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in his career
the blind star starts to play a scale in E minor then goes into a
very difficult jazz melody for 10 minutes.
When he finishes the crown goes wild
The same little old man jumps out his seat again and yells,
"NO! NO! PLAY A JAZZ CHORD! A JAZZ CHORD!"
Rather annoyed by this being the proffesional he is, he dives into
a jazz improvisation around B flat a makes the crowd go wild
again.
The little old chinese man jumps up yet again and yells,
"NO! NO! I WANT A JAZZ CHORD! A JAZZ CHORD!
Trully outraged that this guy doesn'y seem to appreciate his
playing ability, Stevie says from stage, "OK Smart guy, lets see
YOU do better!"
The little old man climbs onto the stage, takes hold of a mike and
in an old croaky chinese voice sings,
"A JAZZ CHORD, TO SAY, I RUV YOU!"

That was pretty good.
