SA Rocks

Jack Parow really seems to have a knack for getting in the head of society (my society/generation at least) and exploiting what’s on their minds.

Here’s the new Parow song:

I particularly like the references to Teenage Ninja Turtles, Dinoryders and Freddy and Jason.

And now here are the lyrics:

I miss two tone clothes from Andre Carl
I miss fokken early monday morning skoolsaal
I miss the parties when my parents where gone
I miss the days when the booze was still strong

I miss those hip high fullsuite bikinis
I miss mickey mouse shirts and polkadot minis
I miss the original indiana jones merch
I miss the duck from fokken telefun quiz
I miss early morning kaalvoet rugby
I miss kfc when it was still called kentucky
I miss days when i thought movies were real
I miss my ouma sitting reading danielle steel
I miss the first childs play and jurassic park
I miss jake the snake, gold dust and owen heart
I miss it and freddy and jason volies
I miss sneaking down the to tv and watching late night movies

bad old pussycat
whole day long
by the power of greyskull
ghostbusters

I miss the students seats at newlands rugby park
I miss sleeping with the lights on because im scared at the dark
I miss leon schuster when he was still taking the piss
I miss screaming province with my hand in a fist
I miss doing cut and paste projects for school
I miss pollyotters and having braais by the pool
I miss Dinoryders, Bravestar and Bionic Six
I miss Cheers, Arende, Who’s the Boss and Wings
I miss puzzles with mom and playing with play dough
tell me “where in the world is carmen sandiego”
I miss giving girls lifts home on my poegie
I miss the days in Marc’s car of just smoking and cruising
I miss the A Team and Murder She Wrote
I miss the days when I was still kak scared to smoke
I miss the days when special effects were hand made
when Francios Pienaar still played rugby and didn’t eat Lays

There’s so much I miss from the old days
There’s so much that I learnt from the old ways
Another kid fokken raised by the 80′s
Kytie Kytie, jy was nie net n mytie
I was raise by girls in outfits and kop doeke
kaal bolyf, kla oortyd en kaal fokken voete
Dallas, Dynasty en Agter elke man
Kringe innie bos en Ballade vir n enkeling
Voortrekker camps and CSV kampe
Mufasa, Aladin, Bambi and Thumper
Klei lat, Swart Kat and self-built tree houses
no shoes, no worries, play holes in my trousers
there’s a lot of good things that happened back then
but I cant keep going on about way back when
so that’s enough of that, no way no how..
Cause I’ll miss all the shit that im doing right now

I’m not sure how real this video (as in, is it a setup), but it absolutely rocks!

Thanks to @GrantNash for the heads up! Brilliant.

The new Jack Parow video is absolutely freakin’ fantasties. I love it. I dig his cocky arrogant vibe, I dig Mr. van Coke rocking out hard. I think the quality of the music video production is brilliant and it could easily pop over on to MTV and no one would know the difference.

I especially love the very loose use of the curse words that rock through the song. These guys are fast becoming my new heroes on the music scene.

Do it, buy the album, watch the video, blow the lid off this song and give these guys the exposure they deserve.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to the MK Awards on Sunday night past.

What an incredibly eye-opening and fantastic night and show. I rocked out. I was sucked in and embraced the entire evening as flippin’ incredible.

One of the stars of the show was undoubtedly Jack Parow. The man rocked out colabs with some of the hottest rock property in SA right now and he blew the crowd away.

Here’s the video that he based the colab on:
