Thai pop-rock band Getsunova and Three Man Down havereleased their latest track and accompanying music video “Eek Mai Narn, Narn Kae Nhai”, which translates literally as “Not too long, but how long?”, which has garnered more than 1.9 million views since its release on November 16th and become the #3 top-trending clip in the music category on YouTube in Thailand.

 

Apart from the catchy tune, and the inclusion of the teachings of a famous non-conformist monk, Phra Maha Praiwan, the song’s popularity is also attributed to the satirical depiction of the existing problems in Thai society.

 

 

Several scenes in the video are shown through a student project, on the theme “Thailand In My Dreams”, such as increasing green public spaces, reforming student uniform and hairstyle rules, freedom of speech, same-sex marriage, decriminalising sex work and reorganising the government’s spending. These are all issues frequently raised by anti-government protesters. The school executives in the video, however, gave them zero marks for their presentation!

Very good. More pushback, more civil disobedience, less lock step madness, and less respect for the fools in charge is what is needed, if Thailand has any hope of getting rid of these toxic dinosaur goons at some point. Society must rebel as much as possible, at this time.
