The Republic of Awesome

I was blog surfing when I saw this video here.

It’s a cover of Britney Spears ‘Womanizer’ by an RnB group called ‘Ahmir’.

This version is SO MUCH BETTER!!!

It makes Britney’s version look like cotton candy dipped in muddy water - unappetizing and much artifical empty calories.

Listen to the lyrics - it’s about being a womanizer and unashamed about it.

In my honest opinion, I think it works out fine. I know girls who date womanizers even though they know his nature. Then they’ll whine about ‘oh mannnn do you think he’s playing me?’

Yes my dear, he probably is.

The trick is to give them a shred of hope that maybe, just MAYBE, she’d be the one who can tie you down and you’d surrender everything to her. Or hopefully they just don’t care that you’re playin’ them.

Would you date a guy who’s a womanizer?

I’m blogging on the first day of CNY because I couldn’t go back…

Cos I got stopped at customs. Cos I forgot my passport. Cos I was silly.

I’m sad but not too phased - we all fail sometimes.

Anyway, this song has had severely massive play time in my head. By massive play time I mean like how new popular songs are played so much on the airwaves that you swear you’d stab someone if you heard it again.

Except this song is a smooth bossa nova, which unlike pop doesn’t incite my murderous nature:

Estrella - Ternyata

It’s a beautiful song. For make benefit glorious people who don’t know Malay, I shall peruse my 11 odds years of Malay education to translate.
