Well for me its one really annoying song, more of a political promotional music thing than an actual song, that comes and goes. Those of you who have known me from Zambia will recognize this and then there are some people I have haunted by randomly messaging the lyrics.
Anyway it's from around the first Zambian elections (UNIP Vs. MMD ), seventh grade and it got so annoying, we were asked not to sing the song to the point it was banned from Musikili.... damn those good old days of Primary school and not much to worry about compared to now... So here are the lyrics, or to the best of my remembering ability....
Still not sure who wrote the song, but it was this UNIP song promoting the party and I seem to remember it like a bad dream that happened yesterday. There were other shows too to promote UNIP, does anyone remember the TV program with the floating guy... show was called HOE ( Heaven On Earth ) I think..... Anyway.....
IN TUNE WITH THE NATION WE KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT,
VOTE FOR TOMORROW, TODAY,
BROTHERS AND SISTERS LET US ALL UNITE,
WITH THE PARTY THAT'S LEADING THE WAY.
KEEP THE FLAME BURNING,
DO THE RIGHT THING,
THE FUTURE'S IN OUR HANDS,
SO LET US WORK TOGETHER EVERYDAY,
VOTE FOR UNIP AND K.K
ZAMBIA THE PROMISE LAND..
If anyone remembers, feel free to sing, hopefully you will remember the good old times and happy headache. Correct me if some of the lyrics are wrong...
Ok now I feel a little better, I think its slowly leaving my head :).
