Bibi's new song...
For those of you that do not reside in good old South Africa, and just to bring you in the picture. There is a new singer in town, a guy called - wait for it - Bok van BLerk! Now this guys has written a song called De La Rey, which is about an old Boer general who was one of the main thorns in the side of the British army during the Anglo Boer War.
The song has taken of like a rocket and has become an overnight sensation amongst primarily Afrikaans speaking folks. It goes something like this, "De la Rey, De la Rey, sal jy die Boere kom lei..." Very nice song indeed.
That is just by way of intro. Our little hero, Bibi, has heard the song and is very often heard singing it. Unfortunately, he only knows the first part, so he sings De Ja Wey, De Ja Wey whenever the feeling hits him.
On Saturday afternoon, in the car on the way back home from a smoothie and junk food trip to menlyn with Mommy, Daddy and Spikey, he suddenly surprised us all with his innovativeness when he sang a version of De La Rey that the adults in the car found extremely funny! Totally out of his own accord Bibi started singing this song:
"Babies in the boat goes De Ja Wey, De Ja Wey, De Ja Wey. Babies in the boat goes De Ja Wey, all day long!"
What can we say. Never again will we be able to hear that song and NOT giggle as we silently sing the upgraded version!
Than you Little Fruitbat, for giving us such a warm glow whenever we are in your company.
