The lyrics remind me somehow of an arabic classic song:....etc
you seem so westernized in the way you speak. do you think in arabic or in english to yourself?
Honestly....I have no idea what you are talking about or to what type of arabic music you are referring to, there are probably hundreds of different genres and schools of arabic music - like the western music (a classical music lover would find rapping as berserk music for example) ; you can check my previous videos (in previous pages) in this thread to get an idea.
I think in Arabic of course.
Oh btw, your country probably has more camels than mine, Lebanon has no desert, maybe I have seen a camel only twice in life with bedouin merchants on the borders.
this is why one must be careful when posting after a few drinks. i do not get drunk because i only drink 750ml of beer every second night, but sometimes my boundaries melt away, and i was joking in my way of describing the music and the camel thing was in very poor taste, but at the time, i thought it was funny.
i am sorry about that.
australia indeed has the highest camel population of any country.
they are feral ancestors of the camels that the afghans brought over to deal with the work they were assigned (like the adelaide to darwin railway).
australian deserts are not as barren as saharan ones, and so camels thrive much better in australia.
the afghans were the only people tough enough however to deal with the task of laying the railway line from south to north, as well as the installation of the telegraph wires from darwin to sydney in i think the 1860's.
and about arabic music, the only arabic music we ever hear on australian TV is that religious muslim wailing type stuff,
but it is possible that they have adopted western styles of composition.
anyway, unless it's sung in english, i will not listen to it. even though i never care for lyrics because i do not listen to them.
it is interesting that Cat Stevens (Yusef ...whatever) converted to islam and i do not know whether he produced any arabic sounding music after his conversion.
sorry about my taunting post and i will be careful about saying stuff i find funny to people who do not hear it that way.
