    Tal asked me to make this topic, basically he is looking for the above song. We don't know more about it, in fact that might not even be the title ;) , but if you have the song on mp3, or if you know something about it, please reply.

    [​IMG] The song has that title. It's true.
    It was originally performed by Harry Belafonte.
    And that song has nothing to do with islamic Talibans nor terorism. It is about SLAVERY.

    Taliban was one of words those slaves used to call the person who controlled their work. Black slaves.

    Now in my country there were no black slaves. Never. And I'm 100% sure that there were no black slaves in Tal's country. Yeah, that part of shameful history I know.
    Tal, please, leave this song to those who had slaves in their history.

    Extremist, you got it a bit wrong. The original song is "Hey Mr. Tallyman", not Taliban.

    I'm looking for the recent spoof which is all about Bin Laden and so on. I heard it when I was driving some time ago and it's funny to die for. Hmm, pun intended? Maybe? :p

    And even the original song wasn't exactly of the elegiac sort so I don't assume anyone takes it seriously enough to be offended by a Taliban spoof.

    I still take it as a crap, hut since you want it....

    ---------------------------------------

    The Bin Laden edition of that song is:

    found at: http://nmr359.uoregon.edu/~blues/digests/2001/Oct01/03oct01

    You can get mp3 from here: http://www.komp.com/BinLaden/Bin_Laden_Bomb_Song.mp3

    -----------------------------------

    The original song has the title (I was wrong up there): "Banana Boat Song".
    For original do search the net, I don't have enough time to fight with dozens of ftps.

    Hey! What gives? The lyrics in the song are different... Oh well :rolleyes:

    For the benefit if the hearing impaired, these are the lyrics, I *think*:

    Day-o, day-o
    Daylight come and we dropping the bomb

    Heh! We say pay, we say pay, we say pay, we say pay-o
    Kick your ass then we gonna come home

    George Bush say that revenge come
    Payback come when we drop the bomb

    Load 'em bombs 'till the morning comes
    Airplane come and we drop the bomb

    Come Mr. Taliban, turn over Bin Laden
    Colin Powell 'gonna bomb his home

    Come Mr. Taliban, turn over Bin Laden
    Payback come and we drop the bomb

    One bomb, two bomb, hit the floor
    Payback come and we drop the bomb

    Six bomb, seven bomb, eight bomb more
    Cruise missile knockin' atcha door

    Come Mr. Taliban, turn over Bin Laden
    Colin Powell 'gonna bomb his home

    Come Mr. Taliban, turn over Bin Laden
    Payback come and we drop the bomb

    One bomb, two bomb, hit the floor
    Payback come and we drop the bomb

    Six bomb, seven bomb, eight bomb more
    Cruise missile knockin' atcha door

    Pay-o, we say pay-o,
    Kick your ass then we wanna come home...
