“Chiiiiiiin…” = “Join.” “…Ah” = “Up.”

Playing a New Wave comp on a family road trip. Realizing that for over 30 years, I’ve thought there was a song called “Join Up,” which I’d assumed was some sort of revolutionary rallying cry or maybe a recruitment song. Turns out the band is The Red Rockers and they’re singing “China.” So, not a call to arms. Apparently something about dishes.
