Gou Gouying should refer to "fly camp dog Gou", which means flying around like a fly and wagging its tail like a dog begging for mercy. It describes a person's gains outweighing his losses, which is very bleak. The word "Gougouying" appears in Daolang's latest song Luoshahaishi.

The prototype of the lyrics of "Hai Shi" comes from the famous satirical poem "Rakshasa Hai Shi" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
