That Dou Wei is amazing, I didn't know about any of this stuff. Now I find there's a Chang Hen Ge sounding like Faith No More, which is... exactly right.
The number pun is gorgeous, too. I'd be very tempted to reproduce it in some way - with a two or a four, you could definitely do it. But it wouldn't carry the wry impact it has in the source, so the choice to not bother is right... bah, there must be some way to revive it, though! It's too nice.
Finally, Kant and Flummery sound like an excellent xiangsheng duo.

With two bare fists, a thug commands
The rent of a thousand farmers’ lands
Wonderful.
