Look Thung singer will be asked to write a song to boost public interest in draft charter



BANGKOK: -- The Constitution Drafting Committee will seek help from national artist Chinnakorn Krailart, a famous Look Thung (Thai folk song) singer, to write a song which will be used in a campaign to arouse public interest in the draft charter.

Mr Thienchai na Nakhon, a subcommittee member in charge of publicity campaign, said Monday that the CDC planned to stage public forum in different regions as part of the publicity campaign to educate the public about the gist of the draft charter in cooperation with various networks.

Meanwhile, CDC member Supachai Yawaprapat said that there would be two summarized contents of the draft charter – one for the use of officials to educate members of the public and the other which is a summary of 10-20 key issues about the draft is meant for selected groups of people.

Mr Supachai brushed aside professed opposition to the draft charter by groups of lecturers saying that his main concern is to publicize the content of the draft so that the public can understand the gist of the draft.

He admitted that he was not worried with the lecturers’ rejection of the draft but was more concerned with how to make the public understand the draft.

Looks like this whole draft charter business is turning into a real song and dance production.

I thought the PM, a man of unlimited talents, fancied himself as a songwriter so why call on somebody else ?

Surely in the PM's case and as the song goes " Nobody Does It Better ! '

My thoughts exactly. Prayuth is the best songwriter/entertainer Thailand has ever produced all his songs have been embraced by the people and gone straight to number one on the charts where they remain. The people love him and his stuff.

What is sung when a luk thung song is played backwards? The buffalo is dead, the atm is broken and the husband turns gay!

Your religion was spawned from that Fella SIddartha,

Now we gonna learn about the new draft charter

Its not made of rice and you certainly can't drink it

in fact theres not much to it folks so please don't overthink it

Forget what the educated neutral academics think

They are too independent and their attitude towards us stinks

instead of using facts and and using critical analysis

we'll just write a song that condescends to the masses

and whitewashes over all the worrying rights restrictions

but appeases you with famous people singing propagandist diction

Exactly right.

He is also an accomplished golf player; on his first golf outing he played 12 holes and hit a hole-in-one on all of them.

Or am I confusing him for another dear leader now?

They all act so similar.

I suggest CDC use Skip to my Lou song - just replace Lou with Charter.

THIS ONE FROM THE CLASH MIGHT FIT THE BILL

Yes, I am the dictator
The more guns I got, the better
Yes, I am the liquidator
I carry that old biretta

You know there once was freedom
And you know how dangerous that can be
The people used to dance and sing
They used to run wild in the streets

But now I am the voice, howling from your radio
From my amour plated Cadillac
You'll hear what I say goes
You'll hear what I say goes

Yes, I am the dictator
I satisfy the U.S. team
Because I always do my killing in the woods
And I keep the city gutter clean

You know there once was freedom
You know how dangerous that can be
And all the people used to dance and sing
And they used to run wild in the streets

Because I am the voice, howling from your radio
From my amour plated Cadillac
You'll hear what I say goes
What I, what I say goes, what I say goes

Yes, I am the crusader
'Cause I'm twenty long years in exile
But but but but but now I am the invader
And I'm never never gonna die

Yes, I am the dictator
My name is on your ballot sheet
Until my box has got your, your cross
You know this form is incomplete

You know there once was freedom
You know how dangerous that can be
The people used to dance and sing
And they used to run wild in the streets

But now I am the voice, howling from your radio
From my amour plated Cadillac
You'll hear what I say goes
You'll hear what I say goes
