My Skateboard Shoes

The public still questions the popularity of My Skateboard Shoes and its creator, Joseeh Punmanlon. Unlike other online music, which was created by professional musicians or singers, My Skateboard Shoes is the work of a young man whose real name is Pang Mingtao. Pang was born in a small village in Hanzhong in Shaanxi province and has no academic or professional training in music. But he endeavors to realize his music dream. The lyrics are simple with no special rhythm. One part of the lyrics, "rub, rub, rub on the slippy floor/rub, rub, the steps of the Devil", became the most quotable sentences.

The song expresses a small potato's happiness about the things he believes important, although it is meaningless to others. My Skateboard Shoes was criticized by a lot of netizens as "meaningless", while others praised the performance of Pang. A netizen named Once said: "I can't understand the song, and feel painful after hearing it."
