Hearing Aids: Cookie can kill you!! (Just ask Ramesh Hassan)

FOLK Ramesh Hassan is more know for his fun tunes - 'like My Wife Caught Me Talking To Another Girl'!

He also sings songs about social awareness, alcoholism and family heartbreak.

Now the singer is releasing a hard-hitting track about men getting their rocks off.

In real nasty places.

"M tune is about men leaving their wives at home to hit the town searching for a 'good time girl'. It's called 'Aids Laga Jayenge'.

"The song is simple, the lyrics self-explanatory. It talks about the evil that men do and the perpetuation of the world's oldest profession.

"Apart from keeping women exploited, the profession is also the breeding ground for HIV-Aids which the men then bring back into their home," said Hassan.

The wordsmith and singer gave up his lucrative fast food joint selling grilled chickens and boiled egg bunny chows in Victoria Street to get back to the studio.

"Music's in my blood what can I say. And I had a message to deliver ..."

His lyrics speak of: "Where desire is felt, disaster is spelt/dirty words are spoken/another home is broken. Has the world become bad/or is everyone mad/for trading in your life/just to escape your wife".

It goes on to speak about men on the hunt for dirty Cookie.

"Like dogs they're just the same/married or not always looking for a game/To go outside 4 passion is today's hottest fashion... where a man would give a lump 2 stake a rubbish dump".

Hassan said he aimed to make a "spectacular video" for the track he hopes can be played for Africa via Channel O, MTV base, East Coast Radio, Lotus, Metro and 5fm.

"However I need an Aids NGO to come on board with some backing. Should the track make money, I am always willing to donate part proceeds to such a charity," he said.

Organisations interested in getting involved can call him on 031 407 7086.

NEVILLE PILLAY ARRESTED IN UNIVERSAL STING!

RADIO man Neville Pillay  was temporarily arrested over "an animal-related charge"  at a radio station in Umhlanga this week.

A man with a doughnut straight out of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Mazwi Mgobhozi, put it to Pillay his "ugly" impersonation of the "beautiful" werewolf in a Masood Boomgard movie opening on Sunday would bring disrepute to the oft misunderstood creature.

Said Mgobhozi: "A second cousin, twice removed, of the creature, a Mr Itaint F. Unny laid a charge of crimen injuria against the DJ. He claimed werewolves were handsome creatures. In the movie stills for Attack of the Indian Werewolf, he has claimed Pillay had made them look uglier.

"He told us this was abominable. He added even the abominable snowman looked better than Pillay's representation."

Thankfully for his radio fans, Pillay wrangled his way out by calling F. Unny Smythe and advising him his werewolf would have a shave.

He opted for self-imposed House arrest when he would watch Law and Order: SVU Season 8 premiere on Universal Channel (DStv 108) on Sunday at 10.25pm, immediately after his Attack of the Indian Werewolf 8.30pm premiere at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre as "penance".

"Actually it's a joy to watch, really incredible viewing," howled Pillay.

"Emmy winner Mariska Hargitay, the daughter of screen bombshelle Jane Mansfield, is a favourite of mine on Law and Order: SVU," he said looking up to the moon.

Mgobhozi, the actor, who stormed the studio to remind Pillay to catch the show after the Universal Channel's announcement of the season's SA premiere, presented him with a donut and hot coffee in true cop New York style.

"Ahooo! Now he's one of us," said Mgobhozi.

He left the radio station to promise arresting viewing on Universal Channel to other A-grade entertainment media in Durban.

Indian Coconut Man is Kink's gift to you to celebrate the coming of the 1860 Indentured laboureres from India to land in South Africa. Midweek we will post, exclusively, the youtube version of the song, so do keep reading.

FIFA-kd and lovin' it!

So you've got your FIFA World Cup tickets?
Then shut up and diski!
The Brazil and Portugal samba  awaits this writer. As does the semi-finals, match 53 (we'll have to wait and see who plays) and Durban's opening match featuring Germany versus Australia on Sunday the next.
Tickets to the finals at R4 200 a pop were also available.
But that's the game I planned to catch on TV.
Soccer City's grande finale would have been a tad too crowded for me - oh and did I mention the  category two ticket was going for a song, ahem!
A senior citizen uncle tried to illegally purchase my semi-finals' tickets at the FIFA ticketing centre at Suncoast yesterday. (Illegal as FIFA and our government deems it so.)
I told him FIFA wouldn't permit that. He could be arrested and watch the match with inmates who have been given TV screens on this special occasion. And I don't think his wife would've appreciated him dropping the soap.
If I were willing to part with the set though it would have been at a donation of three times the price. Standing in a line from midnight till 11.30am did result in some wear and tear and someone would have had to compensate for that. (By the way re-selling of tickets is strictly forbidden - so best you suppport the FIFA mafia the way our government does.)
A MATCH IN A BILLION
At R3, 5 billion for the stadium it appears we are paying FIFA around half a billion rand to stage each game in Durban. A scary thought, especially considering the powers that be aren't really paying a heck of a lot of attention to see that we, the citizens, are safe in our own towns and our own homes in this a-spiralling crime wave period.
SHOT 'CLIFFE!
Then again one can't have fartish attitudes. Our city fathers, especially that awesum dude Mike Sutcliffe whom everyone loves to hate cos it's fashionable to hate whiteys who are actually doing SOMETHING for the city, must have an awesome plan for the Moses Mabhida Stadium post World Cup 2010.
The whingers whom are closet DA supporters and reactionaries (please come out, there's a place for all God's children in the sun) should take pride in their bread-basket resembling stadium.
I am certain Sunday picnics will be the order of the day as will Bollywood concerts and such. Our honourable deputy mayor Logie Naidoo is also planning an India/SA series with a Bolly twist come January 2011. This to celebrate the arrival of the 1860 Indentured labourers to Durban.
Coming back to the FIFA World Cup 2010 - those who scored tickets are damn lucky.
Or damn lahnees. Or maybe you have a kind mistress with a fat wallet or a fat mistress with a kind wallet - whichever, whatever. You've won.
