What happened to those Baila Sessions!!!

Surangani …Surangani …Surangani te malu genava …

Those were the days when baila used to be a “hip hop” thing among the many people I would see when I go out in the nights in Sri Lanka. Bars, clubs and pubs didnt mind playing one or two baila songs to get the “Lankan boys” in the mood. These days the concept of “baila” seems to be dying. I remember at ASU when I attended a football game against Washington State {yeap those idiots got their ass wacked that night but go SUN DEVILS}, we went with a large Sri Lankan crowd and boy did we rock the show that day. We sang - the crowd next to us sang and the next day a couple of people came and asked me the lyrics in school. Now you know we rocked!!! We used to sing baila songs when we were at clubs, parties or any place that included some booze and some women. Yes women is a very essential but not necessary flavor to baila singing.
I mentioned it to a couple of friends the other day that we should put a baila night -hmmm response was not that favorable. People want to be very “hip hoppish” here in Sri Lanka now and the nightlife is catering to it. There is no Sri Lankan flavor at all and boy are we getting Westernized slowly but surely. This is totally in contrast with Sri Lankans I know living in Arizona or Texas. They love a good baila night. Anyways the point is I really miss the baila nights and next time I go out I have decided to sing the great song “Mahaweli Ganga” and of course the classical “Mr.Murphy”. Its vulgar all right and I am sure its a bit offensive but then again all the rap songs have more vulgarity and violence and I aint complaining. A big fan of 50 paisa - sorry 50 cent. Here are a few of the lyrics - sing along …and please make sure your kids dont read this till they turn 18 {doubt thats going to work :)}.

Mr.Murphy

Good Morning Mr.Murphy with all my heart and soul,
I came to **** your daughter but I couldnt find the ****.

{The rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara}

When I found the ****, hidden in her frock,
Damn Mr.Murphy I couldnt find my ***

{The rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara}

When i find my ***, I thought it was a sin,
Damn Mr.Murphy I couldnt put it in.

{The rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara}

When I put it in, I wiggled it about,
Damn Mr.Murphy I couldnt pull it out.

{The rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara}

When I pulled it out,
She began to shout,
Damn Mr.Murphy I put it in her mouth

{The rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara}

NOW U ADD UR OWN CRAP - This is mine

I went to ASU, and sat upon a wall,
All the gals from ASU, came to suck my *****.

{The rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara}

I went to ASU and sat upon a rock,
All the gals from ASU, came to suck my ***.

{The rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara rapthara}
{For the Indians}

Vasco Da Gama went to India,
pulled Down his Pyjamas
And showed his BANANA.

P.S. Dont judge me by the song. This song while we sang it had some good memories …
