#11 Must Watch: Happiness
▶️ Modern society is sometimes described as a “rat race”. This animated film criticising consumerism (=belief that it’s good to buy lots of things) makes it perfectly clear what that means.

#16 Must Watch: Nobody Cares About What You Say
▶️ This song titled “Outtayerdaminde”, i.e. “out of your damn mind”, is a slap in the face of (=strong criticism) attention-seeking influencers trying to make noise online.

Must Watch #21: Do you love me?
▶️ Here’s a wacky (=strange and funny) song from 1979 that is sounds very Arab but sung in English. The singers are a family from 🇱🇧Lebanon and the video was filmed by the seaside in 🇰🇼Kuwait.
Check out the amazing lyrics:
You know, my baby,
You know, you know, you know,
I don't want to be young
I don't want to be strong
I don't want to be young
Thinking about the guys who make all the troubles, ...
They ignore what they are doing, …
Do you love me? Do you, do you? …
When I go summer day,
I can leave anyway,
It’s a lot for the sky,
It’s so easy when you smile.
La la la, la la la..
