A Blast From The Past: أحمد الجميري – شويخ من أرض مكناس

شويخ من أرض مكناس وسط الأسواق يغني … وشعلي أنا من الناس وش على الناس مني
أش عليه ياصاحب من جميع الخلايق … أفعل الخير تنجو وأتبعه للحقايق
لا تقل يابني كلمه إلا إن كنت صادق … خذ كلامي في قرطاس وأكتبه حرز عني

أش علي أنا من الناس وش على الناس مني

ثم قولُ مبينُ ولا يحتاج عباره … أش على حد من حد أفهموا بلإشاره
أنظروا كبر سني والعصا والغراره … هكذا عشت في فاس وكذا هون هوني

أش علي أنا من الناس وش على الناس مني

وما أحسن كلامه أذا يخطر في الأسواق … تره للحوانيت يلفتوله بالأعناق
الغراره في عنقه وعكيكز وعكاز … كويس مبني على ساس كما أنشاء الله مبني

أش علي أنا من الناس وش على الناس مني

ياإلهي رجوتك جود علينا بتوبه … بالنبي قد سألتك والكرام الأحبه
الرجيف قد شغلني وأنا معه بنشبه … قد ملى قلبي وسواس مما هو يبغي مني

أش علي أنا من الناس وش على الناس مني

شويخ من أرض مكناس وسط الأسواق يغني … وشعلي أنا من الناس وش على الناس

An Oily Revelation

“The best things in life are free, but you can keep them for the birds and bees, now gimme money… thats what i want… thats what i want…”      The Beatles.

Kuwait, the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ fourth-largest producer, projected a 14-billion dollar deficit in its budget while calculating oil income at a highly conservative price of 35 dollars a barrel.

LINK from AFP

Kuwait has forecasted a post budget surplus of up to 22.3 billion dollars. Still though, there is no decent healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

I leave you with the 4 fellows from Liverpool below. And no, its not Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Jose Reina and Dirk Kuyt.

Grill the PM for Music Classes!

“We will not allow our schools to become centres for graduating dancers,” said Hayef

Seated above, this hipster has decided to grill the prime minister for making music classes compulsory in schools in Kuwait.  What happened to the education system itself, or the health care system, or the mishref waste plant mess? It must be a talent finding the most irrelevant issues to unsettle your National Assembly and country. How about sitting down during the national anthem and texting?

A Blast From The Past: عوض دوخي – عذروب خلي

Yesterday I was tweeting with some blogger friends about old Arabic music. And then it hit me, I really love old Kuwaiti music and never listen to new ones. I say that cause I never got into Arabic songs, I used to listen to English songs when I was growing up. Arabic Songs now are more westernized and really have nothing to do with Kuwait excepte the accent of the singer.
So that’s why I will be posting weekly an old song with lyrics if I can, Just to keep the “True Art” alive.

Lyrics after the break.

Is Kanye West an Idiot?

I was never really into watching the Oscars or MTV music awards, but today, all over the news i was reading about Kanye West being booed for a stunt he pulled off. So i dug deeper…

Basically, he ran onto stage while Taylor Swift was accepting her speech for best female video. He stole the microphone from her (seen above), and went on to tell the whole world how Beyonce should have won for “the best video in the world, All the Single Ladies”. Fairly enough, Beyonce was kind enough when she won an award, to invite Taylor back on stage to continue her acceptance speech.

He later apologized to Taylor and her mom via his blog, Classy guy this Kanye.

Kanye’s little rant stole the show from a tribute to Michael Jackson performed by sister Janet and Madonna, a comeback win for Britney Spears, and a first win for Lady Gaga in her bloody costume. Good job Kanye, you’re officially an idiot.

UPDATE : The picture below is of Kanye West and a very classy looking Amber Rose before the awards. It seems he was having a little “sippy sippy” before the MTV awards.

UPDATE 2 : Obama gets in on the act and calls Kanye a Jackass.
