When is a good, viral thing ever too much for just one man?
Answer: When the count reaches 7.
After writing a whopping 7 articles on the Lorry Driver- Cyclist Saga (LDCS for short), my colleague finally decided to to give this topic a pass today (I’d think so).
In the latest instalment of the LDCS, Malaysian songwriter, Jordan Fong, has decided to breathe dear new life into this saga by posting a parody MTV of this incident.
A recap
If you weren’t on Earth for the past week, you might have missed one of the most globally virulent videos birthed on our little no one gives two hoots island.
In a summation that puts the S into summation, the aforementioned self-entitled colleague recapped the incident in this 1/7 article alongside 3 quintessential GIFs of the moment(s):
“Cyclist rode on the centre of a lane and lorry driver honked him twice. When the lorry driver tried to overtake, the cyclist smashed the lorry’s side mirror with his hand. Lorry then knocked down the cyclist who stood up immediately, though it’s not certain if the lorry driver had panicked and lost control or he did it deliberately.”
(By the way, later reports stated that the driver didn’t do it on purpose as the taxi beside it had honked at him)
Despite the obviously UHD grainy image, more questions abound such as:
How many times does the cyclist smirk in a day? Ah beng never whack him before? Why Singaporeans like to act like Sherlock Holmes? Is it really the lorry side mirror, the cyclist’s bottle or Superman’s new shiny underwear that crashed to the ground?
For these questions with which answers we will never know, it’s best for us to move on and focus on Jordan’s parody MTV, for this is what this article is really about.
Parody MTV
Based on Singaporean singer A-Do’s (阿杜) perhaps one and only hit song 他一定很爱你 (He must really love you), the song, 他一定很生气 (He must be really pissed), is sung from the perspective of someone in admiration of the lorry driver’s action.
He literally is singing praises of the lorry driver I reckon
Here’s the MTV for your viewing and audio pleasure:

Boasting a view-count of 40K views and over 200 comments since Sunday, I would say Jordan has created quite a piece of 1 Min 33 Sec gem seeing as to how Thrashy Feed’s videos normally get about 6 views in total.
Namely from the staff here and the 1 office cat.
Malaysian Singers
Our northern-ly neighbours (no I don’t mean moral high ground) actually does boast a few household names that one may be surprised to know aren’t Taiwanese/Chinese in origins.
Here’s some:
Gary Chaw (曹格)
Fish Leong (梁静茹)
Namewee ( 黃明志)
And that, to put a face to his name, is Jordon Fong of 他一定很生气, my internet friends.
Here’s the REAL reason why everyone is hanging plushies on their bags, simplified for you:
