M.I.A. - Galang

[CAYOMluver]

YASSSSS BITCH WERK

[kmj2000]

I remember watching her videos on PBS and wondering who was this beautifully awkward teenager with hot beats. I loved it from the first time I heard it. Glad to see she has blown up and gotten famous. I love her album.

[ttiioossppeeaarrss]

i love the beat... better than most of 2011's songs... imho..

[MrFucker96TV]

Nicki Minaj is better than this bitch

[RioKing26]

@MrFucker96TV At suckin dick, maybe...

[t0rax35]

@MrFucker96TV Nikki Minaj is better than her? Have you heard her song stupid hoe? Now that's some retarded shit. MIA is the best now STFU!

[fanatic709]

@MrFucker96TV who u callin a bitch? minaj alright but just bc she can make her ass clap don't make her a better rapper.... minaj let herself be turned into a cookie cutter factory pressed sex toy! M.I.A IS AN ORIGINAL!

[carancal]

[twiggybabee]

FUCK ROMNEY!

#OGOD

[THERangersGirl1]

[thewrathofbombast]

Maya, come back please!

[cincybengals719]

Sometimes I lay in my bed and pretend Imma carrot.

[MannequinFactoryy]

@cincybengals719 omg me too!

[squaw6933]

Sweet outfits.Galangalangalanga

[mrains100ify]

Really hot girl. But what the hell is the song about. Me just being stupid.

[uthunderilightning]

@mrains100ify Honestly, I think Wikipedia's page for the song answers it the best. Even though Wikipedia sucks for new facts, when it's for something that's been out for awhile, it's pretty decent. At least, for brushing up.

[WakkaaloaksTv]

jeez i really love this song ><

[juddithmaddox85]

she reminds me a lo t to norah jones(her face)

[jwscorpio696969]

omg, u r such a good rappistista

[DahMasterDebaters]

i remember when i first saw this i was terrified

[sugarpuffclouds]

she is good!

[2010Whip]

Like this if Dance Central brought you here =)

[MsMia2016]

MIA go hard

[TheDanstarh]

Dance central bought me here :D

[leesyloo131]

I do wish everyone would stop going on about Lady bloody Gaga. She's NOT original. If you want innovative, check out more of M.I.A's work, Bjork, Roisin Murphy, Kate Bush and many more who were doing their thing before ol' BlahBlah was a glint in the milkman's eye. As for her 'fashion' sense, ever heard of Salvador Dali and Elsa Schaparelli love? Lady Gaga can fuck the fuck off. Rant over.

[Roxanaca]

@leesyloo131 ROISIN MURPHY COMPLETELY ROCKZ TOO!

[mskimbersings]

@leesyloo131 Sorry, GaGa is actually likable. LOL

[Just4air]

DJ Hero 2 made a awesome remix of this song

[EmixKillsVEVO]

This Song Is In DjHero 2

[bastardfingers]

She's the only thing that makes me like Brixton.

[40rajah]

[iampeppermintpatty]

@LethalGreenSmoke she's not underrated, everybody knows she's awesome!

[traire91]

looks like 420 people whitey-d on the lang-ga.

[joany1993]

flash of the 90's !!!

[elfededealmagro]

@kaldoreistar look in wikipedia

[supahdupahguy81]

@kaldoreistar

it's jamaican patois for go along....we use it to tell ppl to go away..

[JoyceJeffersonTV]

I first saw this video on the IMF (International music Feed) channel. Been a fan ever since.

[shalmont]

Imagine this came out in the 50's lol....

the fck happened to music?

[guardianjuan]

did anyone else come here because of dance central... :D

[InvisibleRita]

i'm on the weird part of the youtube again... but i like it.

[pizzakingorama]

i like her early stuff way more than her new stuff

[DaviasArzgul]

Haha moombahton is a fake style, MIA is one proof :D

[MzzRockelleBelle]

...im a total fan,but her dancing is horrible.

[MrNANONagle]

Her early stuff is preetty bad



[CourtneyMballThaWay]

I Dnt Under Stand A Word She Sayin. But I Like Her Outfits On This Video. And I Like To Play This Sonq On Dace Central .! O.o

[haymahoo]

oh yeah break it down on it lol

[RmxRmxRmx1]

I can't figure out if she looks sexually challenging when she is dancing or just retarded...

[firstclass6]

She's so beautiful and it's not artificial! So proud to be a fan! :')

[missmoker112]

I lovee this songgggg

[AriadnaaGM]

[crannage2009]

@TheSidnei18 ur muther is rubbish

[butterfangers]

im sorry her dancing has me laughin soo hard

[deanadeeNY]

she was like 33 yrs old in this video...she looks good - go girl.

[pinkeatspeaches]

@deanadeeNY nope, 29. She's 36 now and the song/video was released in 2004.

[2012goingNutz]

she will beat your ass with her 9 inch penis.

[derrickmuyanzi0]

Thumbs up if you got here cause of DANCE CENTRAL

[LethalGreenSmoke]

Some people are just toooo ahead of their time. MIA is totally underrated.

[loco4vicodin1]

@LethalGreenSmoke I think Led Zeppelin's D'yer Mak'er is considered more of being ahead of it's time than this, same with Steve Miller Band The Joker. M.I.A is a hottie though.

[sunshine1231235]

nice dance moves

[alexpreetygirl]

she  really looks indian :)

lol

[alexpreetygirl]

she really looks indian ;)

[twiggybabee]

we all know m.i.a blazes that purple kushh <3

[TheAcidHairball]

Vijay Iyer Trio brought me here, and I like what I hear.

[CommaCrazyKid]

I love Maya, still can't believe that I stood 1 foot from her at Exit Fest.... :)))))))))

[LilJ22799]

@alezpreetygirl M.I.A. is Indian, but she's from London

[F1Oversteer]

@LilJ22799 No shes not Indian, she is Sri Lankan Tamil.

[LilJ22799]

@F1Oversteer Oh. I always called her Indian from Europe

[LilJ22799]

@F1Oversteer Oh!!!!! I always callled her an Indian (either India or Native American) from Europe

[alexpreetygirl]

i think she is

[LilJ22799]

@alexpreetygirl M.I.A. is Indian. She's actually from England

[alexpreetygirl]

is she indian?

[Regginyaga]

I miss stupid little tunes like this

[vulcan2050ful]

i'm just finding out about mia and I really like her. I was wonerding where I could find out more about her and her music.

[aryiataki]

@vulcan2050ful the internet dude. you ever heard of google?



[vulcan2050ful]

really? no shit. When I meant more information about website of hers that someone knew about.

[Regginyaga]

her beats are too evil

[tacosaucemafia]

I don't understand why media obsesses over lady gaga's clothes, Mia dresses way better! I think she's way hotter too.

[zeppodeppo]

@tacosaucemafia And and everyone thinks GaGa is so original. M.I.A. is way cooler.

[bluebettle]

@tacosaucemafia MUSIC IS NOT A COMPETITION

[RuskoKain]

@tacosaucemafia Lady Gaga just don`t got any personality at all.

[queenofsuccubi]

@tacosaucemafia because Gaga sings "safe" music.

[LynneaOnline]

@tacosaucemafia Yeah I mean she should try way more to be hotter cuz who gives a fuck if she has an amazing voice and doesn't dance like...well....THAT. It's all about her looks. Maybe we should start emailing her about getting plastic surgery so she can be a better person. *slaps you*

[jacobcoolguy]

I love how her shit's so political. Her statement is so powerful.

[SuperLalolailo]

M.I.A. - Galang

[Storm1ty]

my mother has the same pink bahamas tshirt since 1980 i think

[UnkleAmon]

To be honest, same crap as Rebecca Black is. Or maybe I'm not that smart to understand this kind of "music". :/

[promiscuousrix]

@UnkleAmon I'm not too smart either, but i'm 100% sure that this is everything but crap!!!

[boyeatworld]

@UnkleAmon lol... rebecca black's song was rhythmless, meaningless, and factory produced/autotuned. it was basically the worst product of capitalist music. this is sort of the opposite, because it's original, danceable, interesting, has meaning... etc. mia doesn't make 'high production quality', catchy, cookie cutter music, that's what makes her interesting, it doesn't make her a bad musician.

[Akiithebest]

@UnkleAmon lol. her song was shit.. like the worst song ever. this is actually kinda good. MIA's different, her message in most of her songs are powerful unlike its friday friday...blah blah blah

[hidal10]

i love how she dances!

[mareeseesgbyFTFW]

i freaking love her clothes

[1BeautifulZion]

i heard this son when i was in sixth grade...and i'm incollege and i still can't get enough of this girl

[lauracida]

[OtroLevelDeSexy]

@Irishmodel78 so beautifully annoying ♥

tan divinamente irritante!

[017SHAMe]

[Irishmodel78]

[giveit2mehardmad]

[VictoriaCALL911]

She's brilliant.

[kiwipk121]

[VanitieGrace]

[lehpenna]

@VanitieGrace realmente é melhor parte *-*

[Klaws4U]

she is the best dancer

[MrCapo112]

394 people died by the dislike button... i don't feel with them

[Zarastroika]

M.I.A безусловно, является для меня одним из самых интеллектуальных и философских художников я когда-либо видел на YouTube· Она стала хитом в Бразилии, но его песни были забыты· :(

[K8SharkBait]

MIA needs to stop making shitty music and work at 711 already. I mean it's catchy, but anyone could do this shit. Not everyone can work a register at 711

[MrMadcowflu]

@K8SharkBait you have no idea what she's talking about. she's dropping some serious knowledge and calling out some serious world issues in most of her music. it's very intelligent.

[hotlikefyre1983]

@K8SharkBait then why dont you go a head and get rich and famous already....what ur current like is so great u dont wanna be a millionair ? MIA wrote, produced, directed, did the artwork, and gets praise from ctitics, and other musicians like NAS and Kanye..they both said she`s the future ...so stop hatin its not easy to accomplish all that

[shiineyfbaaybee]

@K8SharkBait you need to stfu and deactivate your youtube account for what you just said. you have no idea what you're talking about

[K8SharkBait]

@shiineyfbaaybee Hey, you need to calm down

[octaviustaylor1]

I swear this don't is addictive

[sharkie15893]

all i can think is "early 90's seasame street" when i watch this - i do like her but i dont get this one =/

[BrandonLovesKat]

This song makes me laugh, and smile. <3

[TheSkittelzAdventure]

She is so pretty.

[tdawg32492]

I remember seeing this on mtv as "upcoming artist" I was obsessed ever since!

[Akiithebest]

MIA's good. Why people call her dad a terrorist no fucking clue. her battles in SL were inspiration for some of her songs!

[RainPoetry]

@Akiithebest I don't know about her dad but he supported / worked for the Tamil Tigers, maybe they call him a terrorist because the Tamil Tigers attacked political and civilian targets, using suicide bombings. It's also because the Tamil Tigers are not portrayed in the Western media as terrorists. Just guessing.

[crannage2009]

@Akiithebest her dad joined a Tamil militant group during the early stages of the civil war in sri lanka. they cannot be called terrorists as they were the only choice the Tamil people on the island had as the government and military was against them. Even the LTTE was not classified as a terrorist group till much later in the civil war.

[FL35H1NT0G34R]

@Akiithebest VOTE RON PAUL!!!

[lorna142star]

this song is dance central

[TheStarfox187]

thumbs up if u think @ 1:33 she has cute eyes

[Ariya666]

she's not 36 in this video...what are you on?

[Ariya666]

@Ariya666 subtract the current year from 2005 and you got it kids

[marabawesome]

Number one, I live for her goofy dance moves!!! Number two I love how she never hoochies it up! She is a goddess, love her!

[thugboy1988]

stonerr :P , 

[alicitapalomita]

I agree with the person who said "great lyrics" :) MIA is such a lovely person and truly inspiring, what a great example of saying basically F you to corporate record labels and greed - she's truly an independent artist, made this video almost entirely herself, the artwork and everything, was the director. Yay independent artists. :) Aaah and such a catchy song she's smart all her lyrics and videos have social/political themes she just makes catchy beats so you can dance/have fun with them :)

[ma7elone]

Love this song esp bc of dj hero !! Malie dj!!

[Whatsthedagaga3]

If M.I.A was not cute her music would never make it!!!!!!!!!!

Her music is repetative, and that is straight up WACK!!!!!!

[Imgonnausethisname]

@Whatsthedagaga3 So is your train of thought. Then don't listen?

[treehuggerdude4]

@Whatsthedagaga3 check out her lyrics, they are pretty great

[treehuggerdude4]

@Whatsthedagaga3 not to mention those beats she puts into the music. Her music is really fun to dance to because the beats she incorporates into it. Her music is great because she makes it great ( in my opinion)

[glowingcat]

@Whatsthedagaga3 And Lady Gaga's music isn't? You do know what the point of a chorus is, right?

[daedalus991]

Need interpretation please. What is the video about? What is Galang?

[alicitapalomita]

@daedalus991 Wow I found this from urban dictionary (you can google it), several different definitions with pretty different meanings, wow: Galang:

1) Commonly inverted as "lang-ga" or rhythmicized as "lang-ga-langa."

Jamaican/rasta slang for "go along," meaning behave. Popularized by the incomparable M.I.A. .

2) Weed

3) A Vietnamese refugee camp

4) A Vietnam island

"Blaze a blaze Galang galang galang, purple haze, galang"

5)The refugees were held in Galang.

She probably means all of them.

[daedalus991]

@alicitapalomita Thank you for those definitions. I looked-up the Wikipedia entries and decided that she meant the Jamacan use of the term, although the others would work well as metaphors of the human condition. Wish I could understand her speech when she sings -- perhaps that would help as well. Thanks again for your reply.

[CudiSoDopee]

shes in her 30sO.o

[StefanDot]

I can't believe she collaborate next year with the queen of pop Madonna.

I am happy for her!

[classic73]

she rocks!! no doubt about it!! bucky done gun!!!!

[taniacastillo07]

[Anlimema]

Hey Ya! What’s Up?

People say me BIG dreams as mine don’t come true.

But I say them “There are no impossible dreams but there is people incapable to achieve their dreams”

I make cover videos, and my dream is to become a Singer.

MUSIC is all I need to be for my life and able to achieve my greatest dream, triumph with it.

I’d love if you just give me a chance and stop by my channel Also if you could thumbs up this comment so other people can see it. That’s all it takes.

YOU makes my world better

[thenema123]

[the2dancers]

[rockstardoc]

She's come such a long way. I've been listening to her since I was 15, now I'm 22! I actually remember when the song premiered for the first time in the US. It was on MTV2. It was like love at first sight/listen lol. I love M.I.A. :)!

[baleevet]
