this is a parody of Paul Simon
Edit: btw Jambo is Swahili for hello, so the African man said hello and the man decided his name is Mr Jambo, another layer
"Jambalaya of your soul" is what got me 💀
Kyle Gordon.
Here's another good one from him: https://youtu.be/4mMSqf9UP8Y
I love the detail that 'Mr Jambo' is reading a newspaper in English.
His parody songs always has such an amazing specificity to the genre or artist he is parodying.
haha oh no this hurts my soul. it's way too good of a song and oh my GOD i am white people, i don't get to run from it. i remember that tiktok about the kenyan guy being like "ugh the lion king song is so stupid" (it's a youtube link) and a song that i have loved and found to be so beautiful and profound, a big and important part of my childhood, the fucking swahili part (edit: IT'S ZULU!! see what i mean!!! ugh) i never bothered to google myself, it's just "omg look a lion! there's a lion, oh yes there's a lion." over and over again hahaha i feel so embarrassed why are we like that and how do i stop being like this! i was THIS close to getting a tattoo in sanskrit on a vacation ~5 years ago!! cure me of this evil lol
One of my favorite albums is Graceland by Paul Simon. I've never felt so skewered before lol!
I was always under the impression that it was a very collaborative album with Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
This is just Paul Simon slander and I won’t have it
Kyle gordon never misses
