You give me all your love
You give me all your kisses
And then you touch my burqua
And do not know who is it!
Heh. Who says the Germans have no sense of humour?

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people. Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house] Authors

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Brilliant! This combined with the piano cat on Brian Micklethwait’s blog is very much brightening up my day.
Are any of the Samizdatistas fluent enough in German to post an English transcript (or even summary) of what the newscaster is saying?
Here is a rough translation (my German is a bit rusty):
During the Taliban regime, music was forbidden, as was possession of a musical instrument: a crime punishable by death. Now this: the first Afghanistan female pop band with the name Burkaband. Founded during a musical workshop in a music school in Kabul. An Afghani woman was so excited by the drumming lessons that she immediately decided to take up drumming. The burkha has stayed but everything else is new. A cheerful undertaking in a world that has until know only known war. Pay attention to the lyrics.
To be honest I have my doubts that the ‘back story’ is true and the rather German sounding female vocals make me think this is a prank cooked up in a studio in Hamburg… a bloody good prank I might add. It is never wrong to poke fun at the excesses of Islam (or anything else).
Translation:
Their next single is going to be called “Kabul, Kabul” after Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York”
It’s a miracle! The shrouds are moving!
Thanks Chris H.
So the Taliban would string you up for having a banjo? They really were a laugh a minute weren’t they?
Thanks for giving me a smile on the birthday that makes me a senior , OAP in the UK. The clue to the fake is surely the guitarist fingering the frets through the cloth of the burka.
The Blue Man Group, Female Version.
Thoughts for their possible next Kabul Top Ten hit:
I’ve Got a Crush On You (Taliban Stoning Mix)
Bang Bang, I Shot You Down (A-10 Remix)
and my personal favourite …
Like A (72nd) Virgin
LOL. Julian, if you’re not a comedy write, you missed your vocation 🙂
That is just so f’in METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A complete lack of Satan worship and descriptions of dissections though. It’s progressive.
Seriously though, totally cheered me up.
Yes terribly funny…and people think YouTube is a load of bollocks.
They could do an Afganistan album.
‘See You Hel(mand)’
‘Rocking Kabul’
‘Cities in Flame (with Rocket Fire)’
‘God of (A10) Thunder’
*Bonus points to Sam readers who can tell the original songs I have fiddled with the titles of…”
