Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Add: Zulu Warrior (Josef Marais)
Subject: RE: Zulu Warrior
I was thinking about this last night and Googled 'swazi warrior' - I wanted to check out what retrospectively seemed such a racially offensive lyric - especially when sung by white adolescent males in pseudo-military uniforms.
The other often heard contemporaneous lyric in this genre was:
Ging gang gooley gooley gooley gooley
watch-a
ging gang goo
ging gang goo
(REPEAT)
Hey-lah hey-la shey-la
hey-lah shey-lah shey-la Hey-ey
Steve
(REPEAT AND BACK TO VERSE)
