This is how it went…
First off, here’s the video:
Kukuwah: OK… so Kobby claims I used to play this game called…
Kobby: It wasn’t a game. It was a computer called the Commodore 64 on which you played all sorts of games. Like Streetfighter II.
Kukuwah: yeah…whatever. I still don’t remember. Anyway he showed me the video and I wanted to do too known on my blog because i know most people haven’t seen it. I think it is very interesting because of the computer animation. There was a point when I was wondering why the song was moving so fast.
Kobby: … actually in the beginning, you were asking why it was so slow…
Kukuwah: Clear off… so like I was saying, I was wondering why it was so fast and it clicked: video games have levels, so as the song went on they were advancing in levels.
Kobby: yes, my dear sister *pats her on the head.* That is what games were like in my day. We loaded them from cassettes, they took ten minutes to load and anything with actual human voices or faces were hi-tech… even though they were so badly pixelated. Besides being clever & authentic, the video holds so much nostalgia for me. What did you get from it?
Kukuwah: The fact that it was different gave me some liiiiiiiiight goosebumps. I didn’t get why he didn’t die when he passed over the pothole.
Kobby: have you ever seen anyone die from a pothole?
Kukuwah: oooooooooooooooooooh aaah…its a video game. You die when random things happen.
Kobby: good point. Hold on, listen to this…
Football Jama (Original) - Richy Pitch feat. Sway & M3NSA by richypitch
Kobby: ... another banger from Richy Pitch, this time with Sway & M3nsa. I love how Richy put this whole thing together using real sounds you’d hear at a football game. Sounds so much better than the stack of rubbish Black Star tribute songs that I keep seeing on Ghana telly.
Kukuwah: pi pi pipipipipi….(whistle blowing) *Some small asokpo dancing.* In as much as this song is a jama song, it’s quite sensible. Giving good instructions to the team and chief supporters.
Kobby: abi? I think it’s the best Ghanaian football song I’ve ever heard frankly. Way better than Talal Fattal’s bloody, ‘Come on Black Stars Ghana… GHAAAAAANAAAAA’ (Going/Shooting/Whatever Straight to the Top)…
Kukuwah: meeeehn…you don’t even know the words…hahahahahaha..Talal n team you shaaaaaaaaaa!!! Chale, there are more ‘horridible’ support songs. I like the band at the end of the song. NICE!
Kobby: looks like we agree on this one, Richy…
Kukuwah: … you force you force…
Kobby: … waaa. Oh, and in case you’re literary-inclined, check out Nii Ayikwei Parkes’ football related short story, Sock’s Ball, which just came online in time for the World Cup.
Kukuwah: I enjoyed doing this with you, Kobina
Kobby: And I with you, sis. Very proud of that brain you’ve started flexing small small of late. As for before…
Kukuwah: mtcheeeeeeew…
… and that’s how it went.
Oh, by the way, my brother’s blog is simply Kobby Graham and it’s all sorts of nice.
