Read the story of the Israeli techie that took Muammar Gadaffi’s rambling tirade and housed it up.
Mr. Alooshe spent a few hours at the computer, using Auto-Tune pitch corrector technology to set the speech to the music of “Hey Baby,” a 2010 electro hip-hop song by American rapper Pitbull, featuring another artist, T-Pain. He titled it “Zenga-Zenga,” echoing Col. Qaddafi’s repetition of the word zanqa, Arabic for alleyway.
By the early hours of Wednesday morning Mr. Alooshe had uploaded the remix to YouTube, and began promoting it on Twitter and Facebook, sending the link to the pages of young Arab revolutionaries. By Sunday, the original clip had more than 400,000 hits and had gone viral.
Mr. Alooshe, who at first did not identify himself on the clip as an Israeli, started receiving enthusiastic messages from all around the Arab world. Surfers soon discovered that he was a Jewish Israeli from his Facebook profile — Mr. Alooshe plays in a band called Hovevey Zion, or the Lovers of Zion — and some of the accolades turned to curses. A few also found the video distasteful.
Then watch the vid.
(If the sight of mirror-imaged, scantily clad wimmins gyrating just below a tyrannical nutter somehow offends your sense of morals, there is an alternative version. If you thought the video was funny until you found out it was created by a Jew, I’ve got nothing for you.)
Actually, I’d rather a have a link to the girl’s video :-O
Roger that Shipmate…..we need to give her STAR billing…She’s got a serious groove going on there….
Muammar, not so much.
Excellent idea.
Oooooh . . . yeeeaaahhhh . . .
You should never mess with smart people with a sense of humor–and access to video editing technology. One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen was the Israeli spoof of the “pacifists” that tried to bring a shipload of weapons into Israel. These guys know that if they can get the world to laugh at you, the world will ultimately perceive you as the pathetic putz you really are. And let’s just say that Colonel Qadafi is a walking target rich zone for such attacks.
Of course the sad thing is that Qadafi is still walking today. He needs to assume room temperature fairly soon, and the world will become a better place.
@ Mike Myers that Israeli “pacifists” spoof was hilarious.
This track is a proper tune.
I’m raving to it as I type.
Spot on
I’ll take this version. Have to admit, though, I may have to watch it again, as I missed most of what Gadoofy was saying. Utterly distracted, first pass.
Yeah, I didn’t see a daggone thing that Gadoofy was doing… was to busy looking left-right-left at the video. Shame on me.
You bein’ a preacher an’ such.
If you cross your eyes while watching, the girl(s) appear in 3D.
You might have to try several times for it to work, though.
TBPH, I think the fact of the creator’s ‘particulars’ makes the video even funnier.

Antoine Dodson approves.
*That* was Psy-Ops.
Conan does a great job of lambasting Muammar. He’s got his own translation of the above speech that’s hilarious.
Here’s another one of his translations from a different speech

Here’s the latest speech

As bad as Kaa is (was?), he tried to put a modern state together. Tribalism appears to be stronger.
Sounds a whole lot like what we got going on here these days…tribalism. Just sayin’.
But this was about a video. Right?
So what we gonna do with these now-blind muslims that gouged their eyes out after watching a seductive female (not of their clan/tribe/family/country) doing the “watch my crotch” thing? Surely they wouldn’t look at a young girl with lust in their heart? No, Allah forbids such and we know how obedient they are.
Funny they got punked by an Israeli.
Not too long ago, Lex punked that bunch too. As a target of opportunity, they are a bit easy.
Zenga Zenga on Ghadaffi! Now let’s go for Osama Bin Laden–I heard he lost his left leg, left arm, hand and eye as well as his hearing on the left side during the bombing of Tora Bora. (likely impotent now) Zenga Zenga Osama!
Wow, homegrown Psyops to me!
From one computer to the masses fueling the cyber revolution!
He may live long enough to regret this….
Anyone else notice Al Bundy’s face around the 15 second mark. Down in the corner. LOL
