"Love in the Butt" - bad or naughty translator?

So, I'm in China on vacation now visiting my wife's family. The TV was on while my wife was taking a shower and I was flipping through the channels to find CNN Internationa, the BBC or another English language station. One Chinese station was some sort of music awards show, and up for nomination was a song called "Love in the Butt." Unfortunately, I couldn't ask my wife what it really was supposed to say, but I can guarantee you that any mainstream awards show in China isn't going to have a song about anal sex up for an award.

I had to read it three or four times just to make sure I didn't have it wrong. I'm guessing it was probably just a bad translation, but maybe some Chinese translator got a bit naughty?

I just can't find the original thread that this was in.
Someone posted this months back.

and it was apparently a huge hit. the sound track listing includes a song with the same title. Could this be it?
