‘America War Paar Da!’

Check out the anti-war ditty ‘America War Paar Da! (Look at That American War!)’ by Kannada singer B. Jayashree. Auntieji goes all Chomsky, evoking everything from JibJab to Latin American anti-imperialism to the ‘Banana Boat Song‘ (thanks, Shashwati). The goofy delivery belies the biting lyrics:

… Choose between Coca-Cola or Pepsi
Home-made prison with colour TV

America so strong with nuclear bomb
Big one, small one and one long
Vietnam napalmed, Afghanistan bombed
America decide what is right, what is wrong…

America so sad for the world to see
Bin Laden is paid to be an enemy…

Killing everyone best way to manage
Then tell your friends collateral damage

America has package for every country
CIA, World Bank and MNC
If bribe don’t work, destroy the whole place
Put puppet regime with UN First Aid…

World War III, no need to worry
God save us from American peace and liberty

Here’s the video:

    I love her delivery, dance and screen presence.

    Very good and enjoyable indeed. A bit too propagandist — otherwise would have been absolutely brilliant!!!!

    Yeah, the delivery is quite banal and annoying but damn those lyrics have a bite. Mad props for the poor green screen overlays though.
