"My days are finished and I will die - all I need is chilli fries." Saddam

[Bosh]

This is scaring me deeply.

Radio 'raps' Saddam Hussein

A radio station thought to be backed by the CIA has been broadcasting a gangsta rap-style parody of Saddam Hussein to Iraq.

The radio has a Saddam impersonator in its comic slot rapping out a message in English and Arabic to the tune of Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise.

Against a background of studio laughter, the singer proclaims he has had the devil by his side but now the game is up.

"If you don't like me, I kill you. I am Saddam," he sings in an English segment.

"Bush wanna kick me, I don't know why and if I call him, he does me goodbye.

"Smoking weed and getting high. I know the devil is by my side

"My days are finished and I will die - all I need is chilli fries."

Switching to Arabic, the singer calls on his audience to dance, then continues in English:

"I am so dead, I am so bad. Stop killing Iraqis... I am big daddy, this is my game. I don't have feelings, I don't have shame.

"Forty-eight hours left, Bush said, all my troops left me and fled

"Now I am sitting by myself... I am going to hell."

Interrupted by his backing group, he responds with "May God curse you" in Arabic, then reverts to English for the second part of the song, which begins:

"I am for adoption, anybody wanna adopt me?"

After a brief burst of Arabic to say "I say I have a big heart and I say goodbye to you", he delivers the final refrain based on the words "Saddam in the house. Everybody in the house say we hate you" in English.

The backing group responds with "We hate you", repeated several times.

Radio Tikrit has been part of the anti-Saddam psychological operation - or "psyops" - since mid-February.

It is believed to be broadcast from a CIA transmitter in Kuwait.

Your tax dollars at work.

He could at least sing decent lyrics.

[Bosh]

you dare question the chili fries?

[Zkribbler]

Beneath this cold stone,
Evil Saddam Hussein lies,
Escaped the Yankee bombs,
But done in by chili fries.

[monkspider]

this is classic. I just wonder if this is on Kazaa yet.

Is "Chili fries" the new name of "French fries" ?

You're thinking of "Freedom Fries"

Chili fries are French fries slathered in chili (which is a combination of grease, hot spices, grease, beans and grease).

Woo hoo, I found an MP3. I urge you all to check this out. It's pretty horrible, but amusing that the CIA would create such a thing. http://www.turbanhead.com/saddamrap_01.mp3

I'm hesitating between sending this piece of crap wonder into my trash or my MP3 folder.

I think I'll keep it, for the historical value

Zkrib : Thanks for the info. Never heard of it before. I doubt this appealed much to the Iraqis.

Boshko,

What happened to the squirrels?

That is good. Shades of W's close brush with pretzels.

[Mr. President]

Psychological warfare. Sweet.

You French are deprived!! Chili is wonderful! Especially if you can get some with good meat, plenty of beans, and super hot spices. It is one of the best things to ever come out of Mexico .

In France, Chili is known as "Chili con Carne", and is often eaten alone, with vegetables, or on pasta. But I've never heard of "Chili fries" before. I'll ask my Belgian friend if he ever had Chili in his fries next time I see him (Belgians are the worldwide experts of the fries and fries' sauces).

Edit : gosh, I, should, stop, using, commas, too, much.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ah, I see. So you have heard of Chili, just not Chili Fries! Thanks for clearing that up. I would have felt sorry for you if you hadn't tasted Chili at all .

We usually eat Chili alone (or with some cheese on it... mmm) or with Tortilla Chips (or Crisps, if you prefer the English term). Chili is also found on Fries and Hot Dogs, usually at baseball games .
