Gday everyone,

i hope this finds you all happy and well..

After the chaos of the last week, with all the changes and all.. I thought it might be fun to start a thread where we could pick an unofficial theme song/anthem for africam,,  i'd love to hear the songs that stop and make you think of places like our lil pans....

my vote is for  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL-uL2M3xvM&feature=related     Israel Kamakawiwo Ole's version of Somewhere over the rainbow/wonderful world as nkorho is my escape or 'somewhere over the rainbow.'.

have a great day all and remember put your vote in or better yet share  your song that inspires...

Cool song choice and great lyrics. This version of Somewhere over the Rainbow would make a great theme / anthem.

Hei - Don´t you forget Mama Africa, Miriam Makeba ! She was as ORIGINAL as the landskape and wild animals we are looking at !  Miriam Makeba-African sunset YouTube.

Ooops Sorry...

I thought it was for songs that make you think on a specific animal.

Like Kate Bush did "The whale song "..!

Ok ill try to think at a specific one..

well Marooned can be one! I am pretty sure Mr Gilmour would love that.. although the song is a bit sad... and an africam song should combine sadness with happines..

How about this one ?

Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry "7 Seconds"

ore-->

Sade with King of Sorrow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PoSYrFnGnk

nah a bit sad also... i am thinking....

 

I am thinking... it is difficult to  to have an official Africam song which has all in it! Happines, Exitement, Sadness, animal sounds, Bird sounds... Rain Thunder and storm.. Sweetness..

also we have to find an artist that is willing to give his/her song to africam.

This is not easy!

I agree with Tara ...Birds songs ...are my favourite music ...since the day I heard them first ...27 months before from NK...Smiling

I would be very thankful to everyone who can record a special 10 minutes bird callings ...and upload them on youtube ...
