Oklahoma!

It seems that all elevators in China have music playing on them, usually Kenny G or something equally sappy.   But not the elevator of the Hong Kong-Macau International Center on the east side of town.  This afternoon I got on an elevator over there and was greeted by the song "Oklahoma!".  You know, the one about the winds sweeping down the plains and the sweet-smelling waving wheat!  Oklahoma!---right here in Beijing.  I had a good chuckle.  And of course now I can't get the tune out of my head!
