Netizens Slam Pro-Junta Rap Song ‘Thailand 4.0’ On YouTube, Facebook

[Eric Loh]

Should be marketed as crowd dispersion tactic. 

[DM07]

Just in case anybody missed this jewel of poetry:

 

Sawasdee, good morning Thailand,
Stop yawning, get up, get up!
Don’t just sit there sighing,
Let’s get it going, make it more wow, more wow!

The world is changing so let’s adjust to it, 
Think of new things to build it up, build it up!
Wanna be cool, pretty, rich,
Nothing’s for sure. You gotta make it, make it!

Us, our kids, our grandkids,
Won’t be worse than anyone if our world is more open,
The coconut that’s covering our heads,
Take it off, so it’s brighter, brighter!

There are many talented Thais, 
If we work together, we’ll be stronger, stronger!
Just come outside the coconut shell,
Whoever says we’re crazy will only get stupider, stupider!

Chorus:

Let’s meet up, Thais,
Think of new, great ideas together!
Think of far-out ideas,
It will get us far, if we work together!

We just need to cooperate,
So we can go farther, do better!
The world keeps spinning,
New innovations help Thailand fight!

Do your best today and tomorrow,
Things will be better if we agree,
Do good. Be cool, you can do it,
Just understand the new world, then you’ll be cooler, cooler!

Gen M, Gen Z, any Gen,
If you say yes, things are easier, easier!
Thai brains are all over the world,
It’s not a joke, Thais are smart.

We’ve got brains and good ideas,
Just add technology, we can go farther,
Who says innovating is hard?
Know. Think. Create. Build it up, build it up!

Whether you’re farming, growing vegetables, tilling fields,
Add in ideas, the prices will be better, better!
Inventors, app developers, rocket makers,
Enter contests to be sharper, sharper!

Employees, students, university students,
Think outside the curriculum, and get ready to be richer!
Office workers, manufacturers,
Don’t stop thinking, and your lives will get better!

Pull out the roots! Dig out the stumps!
Hit the coconut shell on the head. Thailand is leaping farther ahead!

 

I still feel, I got 26% dumber, just reading this utter cr@p and pathetic drivel!

Whoever spend their time, writing this steaming pile of utter horse $4!t: don't give up your day job as @$$-kisser and boot-licker of the  rich and famous.

Jesus, God in heaven...

The meeting they had where this was discussed and agreed upon would 

have been something to see.

How embarrassing. Especially as the chorus is a rip off of Auld Lang Syne.

[Dave67]

Its just such a square song

Junta Rap is what military music is to music. Lucky cat! This poor fella had no chance to escape:

I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but I found some eerie similarities in this image's composition to another historic photo:

Obviously, someone missed the coconut shell and hit the author squarely on the head. What a crock!

[TKDfella]

Oh gee, the junta really are acting like a lot of spoiled brats, aren't they. They only stir things up more by reacting to it. The original rap might well be seen by the Thai youngsters as being close to the truth but the reality is, or will be, at election time.

Only in Thailand could anyone release such drivel and expect it to be liked. Totally pathetic and laughable response to Prathet Gu Mee.

One was full of truth and was actually pretty good, while this is just rubbish in every aspect. Back to the writing board Mr. Prayut, because that is definitely not going to win you votes.

Would've been best to leave it [original rap ditty] be and allow all to pass. 

Instead, perpetuating more attention to the base affair. 

 

As mentioned time and again - they truly don't know how to play the psychological twisted, manipulating, distracting spin/counter-spin game. Seem to shot themselves in the foot more often than not.

The only way to be cooler is from air conditioning and the majority can't afford it, so forget cool!

" Whoever says were crazy will only get stupider , stupider "

 

" Who says innovating is hard ? "

 

" Inventors , app developers , Rocket makers " .. 

 

From stupider to Jupiter in one big leap then though they might wanna try abit more innovation on the rocket front .. Until then just include " keep on running " in the lyrics ..

And according to the report some people even liked it.

 

“Thailand 4.0” was presented Thursday at a government conference on business startups and played to introduce junta chairman Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha. It was released Saturday on YouTube. By Monday morning, the track had gained 1.3 million views and 20,000 dislikes in contrast to 871 likes.

 

Not exactly in the same league as the other song.

 

A bit like another shot in the foot.

"871 likes," I'm guessing the treasonous un-elected government has  at least 871 accounts, someone must have been busy over the weekend logging in and clicking in "Like."

OR the 871 "likes" were simply bought, ie., with Government Defense Funds?

"When you buy likes for your video, it gains the perception of popularity."

https://buyviewsreview.com/6-things-to-know-before-you-buy-youtube-likes/

The article was published in 2016. So maybe since then YouTube has changed the algorithm for calculating "like" because of suspicious fake likes. I personally don't put a lot of faith in that happening with "likes" for any pro-military video financed by a military government.

To be fair, I thought it should be looked at, after 35 seconds it was nah! absolute rubbish - giving it the benefit of the doubt I held on till 1 minute - yet rubbish, garbage, crap, waste of time, a pathetic joke, corny and that's being kind. 

What did you expect? Gangster Rap?
