The song is a South African style of dance music called kwaito, which emerged about 15 years ago. The video is simply amazing as well.
Basically, if you like music, you'll enjoy. The bloopy little synth line is rad. And If you like dancing, you'll enjoy. And if you are interested in, you know, anything at all, it'll be worth four minutes of your time. Check the kid with T-Rex arms at 4:00 in. The whole thing is worth watching though!
Comment away. I want to hear what you think!

Apparently my parents didn't approve of it, but I thought it was pretty interesting...but seriously, the move that guy did at 4:28 was awesome. I'll show it to my friends at my old school...see what they think!
Amazing video...crazy how strong those guys must be to do that kinda stuff. Very cool.
Pretty awesome Mr. Yedid I can't believe they can do that. Can you?
that youtube video was amazing! and the kid with the t rex arms was so cool. my mom didnt really care.
mr. yedid,
where do i leave the answer to the questions you gave us today? do i just leave them here? ok, thanks.
1) States have a governmental system, while a nation doesn't. States have a defined population in clear borders and boundaries. On the other hand, a nation is not concentrated in an certain area, for example, a state. It is spread out in the world, because a nation doesn't have a government to keep it in one area. A nation shares the same history, ethnicity, language, and ideas.They have common goals, unlike states because in states, sometimes there are many types of different people form different nations. For example, California is a state because it has a governmental system, there are many people in that state from different nations (white, asian, black, mexican, jewish...). And nations are cultural groups.
That was pretty cool those dancers were really good especially t-rex guy.
Yeah, nice dance moves. That was really cool. If you can find any more of those cool dance videos, please post them
Also, I could not do the poll at the top because I was not there on Tuesday. Sorry, I was sick
This is an awesome video, I love it!My mom was a little cautious at first, but then she kinda liked it, but i wouldn't dare suggest to download it. EEK!
P.S If you find anymore vids this awesome, don't hold back i'm open to everything
Oh my gosh the kid with the dino arms looks just like Eric last year during drama. We were doing a rehearsal and he was trying to look like a old person but he looked more like a dinosaur! Eric.... don't take it personally!:)
Also i wasn't able to find the tab for the debate so i'm putting mine in here with the music.
1.)I personally thought the debate was alot more interesting then the last one. During this debate the candidates were asked more questions about their opinion of each other or each others ideas.I loved it!! I can't believe how excited i got over this and i hope that whom ever deserves to presidant gets his chance to lead, NOT to just play dress up.
2.) And the difference between states and nations are a state has a smaller population and may be joined together in that area by religion, race, beliefs,or even ethnicities, and a nation could possibly be the whole world or an entire continent, but a nation is a large group of people living in the same area, but may or may not have the same beliefs.
The video is good but the CD didn't work. I was really bummed. I will bring a blank tomorrow hopefully it will work if you try again.
That was interesting.... I wish i had that sick of dance moves....i cant even do the worm. :( but ya, if you find anymore sick videos like that please post them, how did you find that video anyway? I like t-rex guy hes awesome. Jeez how do they dance like that? Its CRAZY!!!!!!!!! Keep the awesome videos coming Mr Yedid!!!
i like the videeo but some of the dance moves were really strange
........and those guys were extremely talented it would be cool if you could post more of these videos they're awsome
I looked up the new keane CD on iTunes and my favorite song on the album is probably "Time To Go".
I am not a huge fan of Techno/ Hip Hop/ whatever you would call that, but I thought the song was cool, but the video was kind of weird.
It was kind of strange but the music had a good tempo and the dance moves looked really cool!
so i couldn't find the debate blog thing so i'm commenting on here:
i kinda liked this debate, i thought the questions were better because it pretty much summarized all the little questions into one. and was "joe the plumber" a real guy, joe biden, or an imaginary person? i didn't get that.
what i thought that supprised me that mccain said was that he wanted to put the home owners first and lower taxes for people who have enough money to live on. And when he said sarah pailin was a rolemodel i was slightly offended because he was saying that women look up to an inexperienced woman who isnt all that smart about politics.
i didn't really find anything surprising but when he started talking about free trade with south korea my mom explained that it is good for us but its tough for korea because they have to spend money to buy american goods and they have to work harder to produce a better product for the americans so its like a competiton and i know you probably thought i mentioned that because im korean but i couldnt find another thing that i found surprising
also i was spacing out when they were talking about an "acorn" (?) i didnt get that either
This is off-topic, but for those of you people who didn't get to record or watch the debate, here's the transcript: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/15/debate.transcript/index.html
;)
PS- I'm Gaby Clarke (how should we differentiate ourselves, seeing as we have the same user name?)
The debate was a ton better than the last two...much less strict and looser time frame, very good.
It was pretty cool! It was weird but cool! Kind of inspiring.....jk!
I thought the video was pretty cool- (was the video supposed to have a story line?) I liked the music. when I heard the music, I started to nodd my head as a result to the music. I personally like music, so I am- (If I remember that is,) going to buy the song on my iTunes account. You get in to the groove when you listen to it. :) The t-rex guy looked vicious. the video was somewhat cool, but the t- rex stubby armed guy- he just was wierd!!!!!11111 later
By the way, what in the name of Phil Collins is wrong with Mr. T-Rex dude? Very weird.
Logan moore, I have no idea what you mean when you say that it was less strict and looser...
???????????????????????
Kati- Why Inspiring?????????
I just don't see it!
Muffins- he meant that it wasn't so tightly done. For example, in the Town-hall style debate, the timing was really tight, and the candidates hardly got to answer the question, whereas in this one, they could talk more freely and for longer periods of time.
You peeps should put some pictures on your profile thingamabob. It makes it look more dinglerific(not associated with terrific). Dingle is on the spell check on my computer. Teehee.
Lol, Logan...Dingle's also been added to my spell-check dictionary!
The regulator guy wasn't as strict and they didn't seem to limit the times as much, but they still limited them
cool!!!
I have pretty picture!
By the way...where is Dingle?
Where did muffins go?
Wait...did Muffins win fer Publicity?
Oui!
Alright then! I'll post up more videos and interesting stuff as I find it. You guys are awesome.
Who is Muffins, btw?
Sweet! Thx!
Thanks, Mr. Yedid!
By the way, I found your business card lying around...do you want it back?
It is Alexander.
Can I have it?
Muffins? Alexander the Great!
NO LOGAN!
@Gaby and Gaby: you should both go into the settings for your accounts and put your full name in the "name" field.
This is fun! I like Blogging!
Anny yes eye won. you didn't know? I thought i was the last one on the blog!
Also guys-- let's keep the comments to discussion of the video/article/HW assignment, k? Thx.
Mr. Yedid, what is your picture of?
Ok
;D Yeah...
Go to my blog for ALL the transcripts. Just click on my pic, and go to the link for my blog.
We should have a random discussion thingy that we can do comments on. Just a suggestion.
Sorry, Mr. Yedid.
Awesome, Muffins!
Cool video!! It was kinda boring at first but then it got better. I will comment on the questions in class on here because there is no tab.
1) The difference between a nation and state is that a state has leadership (a government) but a nation is more free... there are no "set rules" to it. A nation can be composed of any similaraties like religion, ethnicity, or ideas. A state has specific borders and everyone that is part of it is between those borders. My mom didn't know the difference.
2) I didn't find anything surprising except that Obama wants to raise our taxes in this financial crisis. Overall, I thought that Obama seemed more relaxed... it was funny when Mccain kept talking about "joe plumber" and obama always says, "well look..." They have these sayings that they always use!! I would like to learn more about the international trade thing and about the money we owe to other countries and businesses. I can't believe that next year if someone doesn't do something about it we will owe nearly a trillion dollars!!
I also liked that this debate was much more loosely regulated than the last one. I liked the moderator a LOT more.
Sorry I wrote a lot. :)
Wait..we were supposed to type it up?
@Delaney--
Post it in the appropriate thread, please.
logan (not dingle) and annie--- you guys are having like a full on conversation that is really random... you know everyone can read it!! it makes little/no sense!!
@Anny-- the difference between nation and state should have been posted to the thread I made on the blog tonight.
I agree with delaney with the looser discussion.
P.S.I commented on your blog, Anny.
what do you mean mr yedid?
I did not see a thread.
Our discussion is very random, and I suggested a random discussion thread cuz it would be awesome!!!
Ohh! Thanks, Mr. Yedid!
Thanks fer the comments.
@Delaney: on the blog page there are two new posts. One for the info on nation vs. state, the other for the debate comments. Use those.
oh i see it now... thanks mr yedid!!
Blog on the Debate
I was surprised that the candidates didn't attack each other as much as the other debates. During the other debates both candidates were attacking each other more. The other thing that I saw interesting was that John McCain said "stupid" to Obama when they were both kind of talking, He just whispered it under his breath.
Interesting, Parker! I didn't hear McCain whisper "stupid"...that's really interesting.
Whoa! this thead has 72 comments including this one!!!
I did not hear McCain whisper "stupid" either.
I can't get to the blog post either, so here is my feedback from the debate:
I agree that this debate was much better that last week's. Both candidates answered the questions more thoroughly than they had before, most of the time exceeding their time limit.
I found it slightly silly that, despite my previous agreement with his healthcare plan, Barack Obama would be assigning a specific healthcare plan, seeing as some families require certain assistance that may not be covered on the required plan. John McCain however pleased me when he mentioned a middle class society member ("Joe the Plumber") and how he would like to help people like Joe. Previously, he had only mentioned affecting major corporations and businesses, while Obama had focused mainly on these middle class citizens.
I was also mad about how sometimes McCain would silently laugh whenever Obama spoke during the debate. I was sincerely disappointed in his lack of respect for his opponent. I also agree with Emily when she said that it was slightly offensive to say that Sarah Palin is a role model. Yes, she is pretty, but looks aren't everything if your running for vice president. She doesn't seem ready to takeover anything if something were to happen to McCain, and she seems behind on the general election overall.

Whoa Mr. Yedid...I recognize the pic inside your pic from somewhere...I forget.
