Telkom Song ("hey ya" parody ) [Archive]

Well 5 hours later I have made it! The Telkom "Why Pay" song with the backing of the instrumental for Outkast's Hey Ya. The song touches on most of telkoms problems...

Please first read the lyrics before listening to the song (so that it will make sense when you hear it)

Eveything is available at this url:

Enjoy! (comments are welcomed)
btw: please excuse my voice (i'm no Liberache)

Earlier toady I was doing some chores and singing "Dont Pay...Dont Pay".
My wife thinks Im daft and asks if Im on again about the Telkom story. I just smiled at her and laughed about it.
Catchy song. [:D]

Brilliant - we really should get this played on 5fm or Highveld. I'm sure Mansfield would love it!

Great stuff!

Got a suggestion for another parody:

Jay-Z: Change clothes

Do a search on Google for "gray album" for a (wicked) free remix released by DJ Dangermouse. [}:)]

Anyway, here are some suggestions for the title:
- Change telco
- Change no's (network operator)
you get the idea...

Thanks for the suggestion, Unfortunately work is picking up, so I have little/no time to spend on telkom songs [:(]. Possibly in the next few months, if I get the time.

Once again, I appreciate everybody who took the time to dl, listen and comment on the song!

BBS,

Currently *still* #1 on the Hellkom charts, holding steady, 11 months!

Wow, it's beaten Benny Benassi's 'Dissatisfaction', Justin Teimberlake's 'Rock You Bank Balance' and the previous #1, Jay Kid's 'Blame it on the Monopoly' for almost a year! A truly masterful piece worthy of a download by everyone who reckons coughing up 68% more than the rest of the planet for a phone call is pretty s***ty!

Where others have progress, we have Telkom.

My colleague just mailed it to Gareth Cliff (5FM). Maybe he will play it (with "Telscum" bleeped out, perhaps!).
His show is on from 15h00 today.

Haha, that was excellent! You should really try submitting it to some of the radio stations - 5Fm might not play it since they're owned by the SABC and so the Government, but Highveld 94.7 never seems to care about stuff like that so maybe give them a shot.
