"Oriental Beat" is a song taken from glam punk band Hanoi Rocks' second album, Oriental Beat, released in 1982. The song appears to be about a visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, by vocalist Michael Monroe. In particular, Monroe claims he wishes to move there permanently because he is tired of the Western world. The song features the lyric, "The Chinese girls make me happy, it's enough if I tell 'em I'm not from the USA," and the same line again with the word "guys" replacing "girls.
