Happy Chinese New Year

In this episode, Queen of the Night celebrates Chinese New Year. Each Chinese New Year, the show begins with film music composed by Tan Dun. The tradition continues!
In the Year of the Rat it requires imagination and some mental gymnastics to find and fit music to the rat theme. How did we do?
