I came across this video while looking through stuff in a pal's laptop the other day. It's by a bunch of Ugandans with some "foreign" input somewhere in there... Check it out first:
Of course, the initial and most natural reaction was to have an epic laugh, and laugh I did. In fact, I don't think I've laughed as hard since Eli Porter v. Envy. Then it happened. IT. The realisation that there was more than just a hint of seriousness by these ladies and gentlemen. A level of genuine seriousness which betrays a veiled intention that these folks may have had every intention to produce something that would be comfortably placed in a playlist with the Mavados, Vybz Kartels and Beenie Men of this world. Obviously, intent and content come together dangerously here and form a mind-blowing satire served as a visual last laugh. A last laugh at the now-aware viewer who watches in shock as Frankenstein does The Willi Willi Dance...
This is a last laugh at younger society - maddened by the sudden resurgence of dancehall and such genres where the dance came before the song, obsessed with the end without regard to the means, Deeper-Than-Deep-V skinny jeans clad society,willing to forget the misdeeds of these new swaggerific missionaries who disrespectfully came all over our women like it was just another Passa Passa night in the 'yard'....
This is a last laugh at younger Africa - whose roots are always taste of something funny no matter how well cooked, microwave mayonnaise and all... Younger Africa frolicking with geisha girls whose brothers in Japan rebuild their country weeks after tragedies...
Its not all gloom though, these artistes generously hand over the last laugh back to us in the closing scenes when one of the guys (enjoying a head bob on one of the chicas bums) gets farted on at super close quarters - and how the fucktard tries to keep his composure until the vid fades to black!!!! That was the crowning moment for me, I considered it kind of a way to say life is never that serious, some debauchery is always in order to spice things up...
PS: JUST KIDDING!!! I love this music vid to bits - We all do! That explains the 13.8 MILLION hits on YouTube. I hope Matasia Star is taking notes...
