This week our musical selections take us on our Taxi escapades (good or bad) in which all of us have encountered in one way or another. Now this piece of musical advice will come in bladdy handy for all you out there rushing to get to your destination of choice in the Taxi. Go get your hands on this track and ask the Unkle to pop it in his CD player and see the results….
Now, talking about Choice, we at the HOT-4-U camp have done all the homework for you lazy bums who need some music to soothe your taxi ride blues and calm the nerves for both Unkle James and you. What we recommend to you folks will surely work coz we ourselves have done the tests.
Witness funky nursery rhymes with a touch of Mizellness in your escapade. Ok it’s like this, you get caught in the rain and your clothes are all wet, or you walk in the hot sun for 30mins and feeling really sticky and sweaty (feel dem dulan right????), now start to sing along this part:
Stanza 1:
She Gave us You, She Gave us Me, She Gave us Oil and Redwood Trees.
From Molecules, Red Giants and to Spiders
Kwaku Ananse was so slick his words beguiled you.
Thunder is not rain, Roaring lions kill no game
And half a loaf is better than no.
So u see after singing to stanza 1, u realize that you ain’t so moody afterall because the lyrics in itself makes it worth the while to appreciate mother nature and of course your comforting taxi ride with the air con and all. The melody is ultimate catchy, Gary’s voice ultimate melancholy and the overall production Sky High. Sibehhhh TOK KONG lah this track!!!
Now why in the world are you still moody??
Tangkap This!!!
