More Gems

I remember now, the other songs that Adik sings.

He recently learnt to sing 2 Malay songs - the Rama-Rama song and the Nyamuk song. Both are sung to the tune of the nursery rhyme "Are You Sleeping?" (It goes Are you sleeping, are you sleeping, Brother John? Brother John? Morning bells are ringing ...)

This is the Adik Version of Rama-Rama:

Rama-RAmaaaa
Rama-RAmaaaa
CantikNIA
CantikNIA
Terbang sini-sana
Terbang sini-sana
Gembiraaaa
Gembiraaaa

Sounds alright, doesn't it? Here's his Nyamuk song:

NIA-muk
NIA-muk
Tangkap DIA
Tangkap DIA
Gigit, gigit, geeeee-git
Gigit, gigit, geeeee-git
SakitNIA
SakitNIA

This one comes complete with hand gestures. "Tangkap DIA" is sung while attempting to catch a mosquito. Then while singing "Gigit gigit geeeee-git" you're supposed to keep pinching your arm. Finally, when it is "SakitNIA" you rub the part of your arm where the mosquito had supposedly bitten you.

The first time he sang this song, together with hand gestures, we were all rolling about the car laughing away. He was so earnest about it too.
