That Effing Show – That Okay Song

I know I haven’t updated my blog in like forever, and I’m sorry. Things have been crazy, with the new house and at work I haven’t had time to do much.

Anyways, I just wanted to post this really catchy song created by the people at PopTeeVee’s That Effing Show. The lyrics, which I have also included in this post are just brilliant. Brilliant because it is…Malaysia. The traffic jams, the never ending slogans/catchphrases, the pirated dvds, etc. It’s sorta sad I guess, but like the song says. “it’s fine, it’s okay….Kita kaotim everything, parava-illay…”

The video is just awesome…kudos to my kid brother Faiqsyazwan, and all his friends. Especially Ezra Zaid and Azmyl Yunor who I assume wrote the song.

Owh and the cameo/narrations by Patrick Teoh! Who better than the “?Voice Of Malaysia” to narrate a song about Malaysia right! Gotta love it!

Check out the video below and please go to their youtube account here.

That Okay Song

Verse 1
Going downtown going underground
“What’s the best place to get good DVD9′s lah macha?”
Well I kinda know a guy in Chinatown
“Petaling Street? Aisey-man situ selalu kena raid lah beb.”
But my taukay always brings all the prices down
“Okay-lah, but that one if kena saman cannot get diskaun wan.”
It’s all settled coz the guy is from my hometown
“Wah. Eh can help settle mine ah? Dah bertimbun-lah bro.”

Verse 2
Stuck in a car on a highway
“Look at this fella here. Bawa kereta macam jalan bapak dia. Hoi.”
Everyone’s driving like it’s Sunday
“Yang ‘ni pulak sure lesen kopi punya, 100 percent!”
But for real it happens every damn day
“Kesian cik adik ‘ni pulak kena accident. Faster take the nombor.”
Coz we blame it on the floods, the trucks, the traffic lights, and the rempits cutting in lanes left to right

Pre-Chorus 1
Myl. You should grow a misai. Then you’d be a micho.
What the hell is a micho-lah?
“Misai Macho”
Fulamak. Goes well with my kopi jantan-lah.

{Chorus}
Hey, it’s okay.
We gotta live for a better day. (Hey!)
Now we give a little a love and we’re on our way
Kita kaotim everything, parava-illay

You say, don’t play play
Kita mudah lupa but we say “nay”. (Nay!)
Now we got a little love, keep it on replay
You say semua tak boleh, tapi we all okay aje!

Verse 3
“Why the all tak habis-habis reminding us to be grateful. What’s up man?”
Why does it feel like its just a game?
“The same familiar fat faces on billboards, tv, paper, blah, blah, blah”
Same faces, catchphrases and bad cliches
“Check out this lame rhyming rhetorics, man… Hit me Ezra”
Things like… bersabar, jangan cabar, bersyukur, jangan lupa, muda lupa, cemerlang gemilang terbilang.

Pre-chorus 2
How long you going to be away again? Visa dah settle dah?
Dah. My visa can tahan three months.
You going to some tropical paradise getaway kan?
Yeah some damn nice gila exotic place called Kuching and KK

Chorus

I’m a interactive media developer/designer, and new mom to a gorgeous little boy named Liam Ayden Sparrow, who cooks to de-stress and relax. I’m originally from a little peninsula in the South East Asia region of the world called, Malaysia. Although I’ve moved a lot in my life, Chicago, Kuala Lumpur, Australia, Georgia, NYC, and finally back to Chicago; one thing remains the same. The food, because I cook. I grew up around amazing cooks. My mom and my late grandma, and although during my teen years I despised helping my mom in the kitchen, once I grew up and had to moved to a different country for studies, and didn’t have my mom to make meals for me, I realized how lucky I was to have at least some basic cooking skills! And although my mom never really allowed me to help her make anything (I was mostly there to help clean and prep) I did always pay attention to what she was doing in the kitchen. Over a few more years living overseas, and now being married, I’ve had plenty of time to practice my culinary skills and I’ve managed to teach myself a thing or two. I experiment, and create, and I think that’s the best way to learn…anything really.
