Song of Health was written by Xu Changde and arranged by Sheb Wooley. The song was released on March 8 1996 and included in the album "The Magic Book of Little Witch". This song and Needle Cutting sung by Japanese Ohtaki Eiichi are adapted from the song Purple Man-eater released by American singer Sheb Wooley 1958.
Song Appreciation: This nursery rhyme is the most popular song in Mavis Fan, which made Mavis Fan a hit in Chinese mainland. However, Mavis Fan didn't insist on singing nursery rhymes. She cut off her hair and became a singer-songwriter. Although the excessive contrast caused the loss of children's audience, it also made her musical talent today.
Mavis Fan has avoided singing health songs in concerts and performances for many years, but at the Beijing Concert in 2009, he reinterpreted classic children's songs such as the rock version of health songs and the jazz version of "I Love Bathing" to arouse the audience's memories.
