Hermano Lobo Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 The Nation journalist Yoon, put up a blog called "Thaksin Rap". It was a send up of his reason to write, one, Thaksin Shinawatra. What this journalist would write about if Thaksin wasn't around? Well he might expand on his blog about the massage he had with the Malaysian politician Anwar Ibrahim. Before he was due to interview him. The mind boggles ! Below you will find a rap I have written called "Grease-Up" It is a rap about Abhisit. Maybe you will find it amusing, maybe not. It is also supposed to have a serious side. On this serious note, I refer to the blogging on the Nation, Thaivisa and just about anywhere else. I found myself being pushed towards the Red shirts because of the blatant support and propaganda for PAD and the yellow shirts. I like my journalism informative and objective. I am a bit too old to put up with propaganda. Hence my version of a rap. On all these sites the bloggers are generally split between 'Yellow Shirts' and 'Red Shirts' with the accompanying arguments, for and against. Some of the Thai bloggers on The Nation and a couple of westerners are well educated and have asked questions and made points away from the Red-Yellow partisan debate. Essentially they are saying that the Reds and Yellows are mere pawns in a far more serious battle that is happening behind the scenes. The westerners are caught up in the Red-Yellow argument and with exceptions of a few wise souls, believe this is the battle. The Thai bloggers I mention, really know what they are talking about and the story is a grim one. There is a vicious power struggle going on and it could well get very nasty. The pawns are easily sacrificed, just like Sondhi Limthongkul, who is probably in a more serious condition than the media will let you believe. Not that the CCTV cameras at the petrol station where he was ambushed were switched off the day before. This is a classic in a hit by an establishment within an establishment. Security is reduced, just like Itzak Rabin in Israel. Drop the security then make the hit. To indicate the seriousness that many bloggers seem to have missed I now quote from a wise blogger:- "I am surprised that even XXXX does not have a glimmer of what is really happening. It seems the Nation bloggers can only see the tip of the iceberg. They think this is just red versus the government and the yellows. In reality these three are just being played off against each other. Still the real players are slowly being revealed. I wonder what our passionate bloggers will think when these stand fully revealed?" Now my rap in answer to Yoon's Thaksin Rap:- "Grease-up" a rap about Abhisit. All I have to do now is go down to Brixton and find a rap artist ? Grease-up Got grease on ma hair Let nobody dare Stan’ around and stare Took all day to prepare Gotta take care I’m man of the moment Got a great suit Have de job on default Perks to boot Got more than Shearer’s loot I’m the smarmy man Hope yo is a fan No bullets gonna hit me Fly off de grease Jus’ yo see I’s got de knowledge Been to college I’m a posh Thai All smarmy and fly I’ll sell anything What ya wanna buy? Got two left feet No Thai girl Gonna grab my meat All smarmy and fly What ya wanna buy? Going for a nap Jus’ had a crap Thai country on auto I’s de man with the strings Thunderbirds are go I’s not in a hurry Puppets don’t need to worry Gorillas are pulling the strings Hidden behind the scenes Or sitting in dem wings This is the land of fantasy and delusion If you think I’m in charge Just an illusion Conman writ large Smarmy and fly Typical rich Thai I do as I’m told I wouldn’t be so bold Born in the land of Black puddin’ and cold Barcode on my shirt Always diggin’ in de dirt If you think you’re free This aint no democracy Yo think I’s jockin’ When I say Red shirts had their day I’ll put the military in the way Smarmy and fly I won’t tell you why I touch my forelock Aint no warlock Can magic away the opposition With loads of ammunition Collateral attrition The reds can complain all they want Coz’ I always in front I’m one of the elite Got two left feet No Thai girl gonna grab my meat Thaksin a rat in a trap Pass me the map Nicaragua, where’s that? Smarmy and fly Politics of the pig sty Love to be on TV Greasy and nice Women love me The reds are like mice Catch ‘em in a vice Running from this big cat They’ll curse me for that The old ways are best Jus’ watch, I don’t jest Politics of the pig’s sty Greasy and fly Can’t beat Phuyai Peasants know your place C’mon, that’s no disgrace Now vanished without a trace The elite gonna stay top Not get the chop We turn the screw Thailand run by the few Newspaper man had an op Reds wasting their time We control all crime Elite are sublime Thaksin’s on the run We gonna have some fun The fish stinks from the head Don’t argue Or you’ll wind up dead We are in power Gonna crush the red shower Smarmy and greasy For us It’s really easy Farang watch your step You gonna be next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coventry Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Hermano Lobo, at the bottom of all your posts, you have a quote "I wouldn't join any group that would have me as a member". Thai Visa has you as a member. Perhaps time to move on ? Edited April 19, 2009 by coventry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermano Lobo Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Well, this is nothing less than I expected. When will you think with your brains and not your cajones ? If Thailand goes the route of a Burma style government. What will you say ? Mai bpen rai, my girl is different ! Clueless, but what does it matter as long as I get laid ! “I live in Thailand, what do you know?” Tell me from the barrel of a gun. Pathetic !

Shotime Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) It's a moronic "rap" song about Thailand's political leaders. Edit: And a veiled threat against some other color-shirt-confused people called farangs. Edited April 19, 2009 by Shotime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
