Good morning everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a GREAT start! Today I’m taking you back to 2007 with this one! It was a big hit worldwide! I’ve always liked the unique sound it has. I couldn’t get enough of this song or the album (Kala) it’s on! M.I.A. is a rapper from London. Although she was born in London, she grew up in Sri Lanka. Her full name is Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam. Besides rapping, M.I.A. is a songwriter, painter and director. Her music includes several types of music like electronic, dance and world. Have you heard this song? What do you think of it? Have a great rest of the day, everyone! I have a couple of other posts for you today, including the Saturday Evening Interview.

The beats and the lyrics. It’s fused with electronic and Asian music, the drums.

Ha ha! I’m glad you thought the song was interesting. My goal here is to try and introduce songs by women (for this month) that are new to others. I know all of them won’t be new but if a few are, that’s great!

I’d never seen it before or heard of the singer, which isn’t really much of a surprise because I live in a bit of a bubble these days and am often only barely aware of what is going on in the wider world!
I thought the song was interesting too in a quirky way, but the thing that most amused me was the banging effect when she pointed her fingers. I can’t even get mine to click properly. 🙂

Interesting video. I’ve seen people use their fingers like guns before, but not usually with accompanying sound effects. 🙂
