Schnappi Vs MIA - THE TRUTH

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

(inspired by steviespitfire who likes neitha!)

- exotic pop allowing critics to romanticise the Other
- "unschooled" vocals grate on some crits
- publicity makes dubious use of 'jungle' background
- authenticity of songwriting in some doubt
- controversial relationship with father (biting legs vs terrorism)
- enormous numbers of remixes
- huge ILM following
- let's face it S1m0n R3yn0ld5 probably doesn't go a bundle on Schnappi either.

to be CONTINUED by YOU.

Schnappi = grebo, MIA = crusty.

"Grand Kru County is located along the coast of south eastern Liberia bordered by Sinoe County to the northwest, River Gee County in the north east and Maryland County to the southeast. Barclayville is the county capital. The county is divided into four districts: Sasstown, Buah, Upper Kru Coast and Lower Kru Coast. The primary language is Grebo which is spoken in several significantly different dialects around the county with some areas identifying their language as Kru. Liberian English is the language of school instruction."

Schnappi's website sez: "Mit 'Ein Lama In Yokohama' prapräsentiert uns Schnappi nun einen ganz besonderen Freund. Die Single beweist sich abermals als ein echter Smash Hit und besitzt nicht weniger Hit-Karakter als 'Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil'. "

MIA's website sez: "Blaze-a-blaze, galang-galang-galang..." And you can listen to the whole thing! Coolio!

Also, Schnappi and MIA are like the two sides of Sting's personality split.
