Motosai Hang

[Flummoxed]

Motosai Hang, a popular Isaan tune that everyone in Thailand seems to know.

Can anyone tell me the artist, however... and any online resource where I might be able to download it (tried the P2P's already).

Also, what does 'Motosai Hang' actually mean. I asked my girl and her answer was - 'Motosai not so good'. any advances on that?

This means in Lao/Isarn language a very old or broken motorbike.

The singer is a guy called Lok Saleng or something like that.

ลอค เสลง I think is the Thai spelling of the guy's name.

Splendid. Thanks Neeranam

Neeranam :

I think you have been hanging around with the locals too much

you seem to have inherited the ล L and ร R problem

ลอค เสลง shouldn't that be รอค เสลง Rock Saleng ?????

Flummoxed :

If you get the video to go with the song it has an interesting story

about the attitudes of (some) Thai women.

[Flummoxed]

Yeah... I saw the video years ago in Hong Kong with my Thai ex. I still had to learn the hard way tho'

I decry negative attitudes towards motor bikes in general. Lest we forget the immortal lyrics of 'The Motorcycle Song'...'I don't want a pickle...just want to ride on my motorsai - cul...'.

Motorsai Hang is another disgraceful attempt to pirate and barbarize America's rich musical heritage...

I hope that was an attempt at sarcasm, people dont realy think North America has a "rich musical heritage", do they?

[tutsiwarrior]

I have been spending a lot of time with Isarn folks. Ha ha, I used to take the piss out of them for that mistake. I just assumed it was lok.

Possibly you might call jazz the first form of american immigrant music, immigrants from africa. The indians must have played music as well.

The rest found its origine in europe.

I also think that the word 'heritage' is not in place. The States is a very young country, a little bit more than twohundred years. We have to delegate the question to future generations.
