Siouxsie And The Banshees - Hong Kong Garden (1978)
About the song: Siouxie herself has stated that the song is about racist skinheads attacking the restaurant.
“I’ll never forget, there was a Chinese restaurant in Chislehurst called the Hong Kong Garden. Me and my friend were really upset that we used to go there and like, occasionally when the skinheads would turn up it would really turn really ugly. These gits would just go in en masse and just terrorise these Chinese people who were working there. We’d try and say ‘Leave them alone’, you know. It was a kind of tribute.”
