CURE MY CRASE!!!

Ok I never wud have thought I wud come to really like naija songs the way I do right now, but trust me there is something about living abroad (particularly the western world) that makes you miss it so dearly. Generally I have come to love my country more and more every second I spend away from it but that is not wat this post is about so I'll save that for another time.

Anyways for a while now one particular naija song has been stuck in my head, its Frank D'Nero's Cure My Crase, I even formulated a dance for it oo...u don't even want to see it. To me the music (beat) is very simple and nice, the lyrics are somewhat "romantic" for lack of a better word to use in describing it right now. BTW It seems these days naija women are gettin' the hots for men who can throw in a few raps in pidgin but still know their english sha....I can't even count the number of friends who say their favorite part of the nollywood movie "Letters To A Stranger" is the part where some dude in the movie switches from english to pidgin and back to english while yarning Genevive his church mind about how he feels about her. For instant replay effects, I will type the excerpts as said in the movie for those who have not seen the movie:

"That's the thing with us writers u know we are so good with words that most of the time we just plainly forget to speak...

From that first day when me and u speak for phone, I send you die
And as I dey here so, I still they send you pieces

But now its different, It's a lot deeper..."

Gosh, I'm so jobless and silly...See as I jumped from talking about a song to a movie...

Anyways back to curing my crase...I can just imagine one of them R &B crooners like Usher singing a similar song and having the ladies screaming and ish. So ladies please lend the song ur ears and more if possible...I actually even tried to draft some Usher style lyrics, and the original naija version still won..lol...but sorry I ain't even gonna put that up here, plus I am tired of writing. I actually had to sit, listen to the song and type out the lyrics of the song b4 writing this blob. Before I start yarning too much twa twa (nonsense) I am signing out of this place jo.

U've officially been splashed...lol

ciao people
....H2o

The Remix with Timaya is also very nice
[By the way, I made up some words/slang for the things I did not quite catch from the song]
Enjoy....
