the mrbrown show (video): TalkingCock in Parliament, Hossan Leong
TalkingCock.com held its first spoken word “live” event, TalkingCock in Parliament: We, the Citizens, at Old Parliament House on Thursday, 24 August 2006. It was in support of Indignation 2006 and was an evening of light-hearted speeches celebrating Singaporean-ness. The mrbrown show was proud to be part of it.
This is a video of Hossan Leong’s segment. Got lyrics for you to sing along to even!

We Live In Singapura
Sang Nila, Utama
Saw a lion, alamak
Name the village Singapura, then run very far
Years later, ang mor came
Stamford Raffles was his name
Posed for statues very nice, we kenna colonize
(instru)
Singapura very strong
Big guns all, pointing wrong
Japanese, came on bikes, invade us from our backside
War is over, ang mor back
Singaporeans no respect
Commies come, make a fuss, Singapore independance!
CHORUS
I live in Singapura
It’s not perfect living
But at least it’s interesting
I live in Singapura
Though it’s kind of crazy
We win other country
David Marshall, Lim Yew Hock
National Anthem starts to rock
Yusof Ishak the big man, guess who’s PM?
Malaysia say, come join me
Two of us be same country
Then not happy, Then make PM cry
PM Lee lead country
Build jurong and HDB
Made the country clean and green, opposition cannot win
JB Jeya no more funds,
Chee Soon Juan won’t eat his buns
Lim How Doong, what a goon, ‘Don’t talk cock’ in parliament
CHORUS
I live in Singapura
It’s not perfect living
But at least it’s interesting
I live in Singapura
Though its kind of crazy
We win other country

Hi, i feel this song is very funny…
Very thanks to the person who insert the lyrics into the video…
I would also suggest if he could also help us insert the subtitles into the other few video podcast…
For me, my hearing is poor.. can’t figure out wat the other video podcast r trying to say even though i turn on my volume loudest… sincerely hope if the subtitles r inserted too..

[…] The song used in Hossen Leong’s segment for TalkingCock in Parliament. “We Didn’t Start the Fire” is a song by Billy Joel which chronicles 120 well-known events, people, things, and places widely noted during his lifetime, from 1949 to 1989, when the song was released on his album Storm Front. Joel explained that he wrote this song due to his interest in history; he commented that he would have wanted to be a history teacher had he not become a rock and roll singer. Unlike most of Joel’s songs, here, the lyrics were written before the melody, owing to the song’s somewhat unusual style. Nevertheless, the song was a huge commercial success and provided Billy Joel with his third Billboard #1 hit. […]
