Tips

culture

2014 earworm by 筷子兄弟 (Chopstick Brothers), originally promotional song for their film 《老男孩之猛龙过江》. Hook 你是我的小呀小苹果儿 ('you are my little, little apple') conquered every plaza in China as the national 广场舞 (square-dance) anthem. Won an American Music Award for 'International Song' in 2014 — a rare Mandopop international honor.

usage

The phrase 小苹果 as an endearment (like 'my little apple' / 'apple of my eye') came directly from this song. Tongue-in-cheek when applied to real people.
