    Story Behind the Song
    I read a biography about this amazing individual who, among other things, brought martial arts to China and invented rope. I think. But the thing that peaked my interests the most was the part about how he thought that the secret of immortality was to sleep with as many women as possible without reaching climax. A tantric kind of thing I guess. He ended up sleeping with upwards around 3,000 women without ever "doing the dirty deed". And I wrote a song about it.

    Lyrics
    VERSE 1:
    Now, This is the story of Huang Ti,
    Yellow Emperor before the Shang Dynasty,
    And he was born in the 27th century,
    And began the search for immortality,
    Now he rode atop a dragon named Chang Huan,
    And flew to a city inside the sun,
    There he found the answer to the question sought,
    But what a price to pay for what he bought,
    You must drink the jade fluid feel the warm touch,
    Swim inside the mother but don't feel too much,
    To balance the forces of the Yin and Yang,
    You musn't spill a drop up in that thang,
    So he picked up the maiden fung mi,
    And he took her to his shack,
    They skipped all the small talk
    And jumped right into the sack,
    They started pinchin' and squeelin'
    And reelin' with the feelin'
    and when the time had come for him to blow,
    VERSE 2:
    In battle he could call upon thunder,
    And it's no wonder how he got the clap,
    He had 3 thousand of the fairest women in the land,
    In the days before the jimmy cap,
    And it's said that he didn't spill a drop of the life force energy known as chi,
    Until the day that he met the girl,
    That would one day be the end of Huang Ti,
    Her face like the moon her hair like black rain,
    Her body as stacked as a freight train,
    He'd never ever seen a women so fine,
    One touch and he knew that he'd explode like a land mine,
    But it didn't matter 'cause he knew the time had come,
    And who really wants to live forever if you can't have fun,
    So he did it, he liked it, and he lived 100 years,
    Until the day had come for him to die,
    This is the story of Huang Ti.
