[richie760]

[MajorBerk1089]

[1998nida1]

I think this song is about breakups.

[jcnaples]

@1998nida1 lol def not

[Jillworrell22]

I dont understand anything she is saying?? and her vidioes and image go from gansta to this wtf

[samsonlaicite]

@Jillworrell22 Why the question marks ?

[rootsm3]

@Jillworrell22 Check the date on this video. It's from her first album dude.

[aidantam]

@Jillworrell22 well to me the part about "i bongo with my lingo, beat it like a wing, cant stereotype my thing" is about her music, she makes beats with her language, does it over and over, and completely changes each time so u cant stereotype her style, just like u said.

the rest of the song has references to palestine, P.L.O, and then someone getting excecuted for associating with muslims, and the news coverage that recieves or something? i dont fully understand but thats what i got out of it

[kaikokitosuris]

Actually, this song and especially video looks like the only normal creation of her. So and that's why I don't understand why it's least viewed.

[jcnaples]

M.I.A. is helping me through my depression :)

[realmusicappreciater]

it means shes preppin her gun then spit out of the window means the bullets

[Nicole7801]

I wish I understood the salt n' pepper mango reference. I know it means something significant, just don't know what.

[savethefrogz]

lol its worth it to learn the lyrics to this

[silverE3shamrock]

...if this girl wasn't beautiful, no one would care. :)

[Jillworrell22]

@whatpurposemeans ummm she is weird she is soo off she doesnt even sound good

[najmaj]

[rewindrecolour65]

@silverE3shamrock She writes some pretty deep stuff, with subtle but meaningful political undertones, man.

[raushkanaush]

[deathbunny12]

Retard Song so as the lady/shemale

[iRawrDinsawr]

@deathbunny12 stfu asshole u need to learn some respect

[IzzyThePoet]

M.I.A's music is about so much more than what's on the surface. Its about social justice, racism and even genocide. She brings awareness that America isn't the only country in the world Love M.I.A.

[StunningHijabi]

who else came here because of Yahoo?

[AchyaorNishnisht]

Who the hell is M.I.A. and why was she at the superbowl?

[Chamath5]

@SuperAlienkiller Christians( 4%) and muslims(4%) dont have power in sri lanka only the buddhists and the hindus have the real powers

[BLaCGaMiNG]

@Chamath5 im in sri lanka right now & ill tell you this, religion is not the problem its the language Hindus had to go through genocide because of language (tamil)

[Chamath5]

@SuperAlienkiller let the muslims do anything they like to do Sinhalese and Muslims are friends

[Chamath5]

Lion wins Tiger Lost Sinhala wins!!!

[MAYALA91]

funny the way she moves lol !!

[DiasDeDemonio]

ME ENCANTA ESTE VIDEO ES LO QUE ES!

[lion4tiger]

MIA represents LTTE which was a terrorist organization banned in many countries including EU and US and defeated by Sri Lankan armed forces on 18th May 2009 with the death of it's leader Velupillai Prabakan.!!!!!

[Stonedbrownguy]

@lion4tiger you need a dick in your mouth...stfu and enjoy her music or gtfo

[lion4tiger]

@Stonedbrownguy seems like u already have a one in urs...lol!!!! get a life cock sucker!!!!!!!

[monicameansfun247]

I heard that M.I.A. got banned from singing because there was something about this song. Is there anyone here who can interpret?

[lion4tiger]

@monicameansfun247 cos the girls in the video represent the tamil tiger terrorist female cadres known as LTTE...MIA represents them and fund LTTE and supported them.LTTE military arm was totally defeated by Sri Lankan armed forces on 18th May 2009 with the death of it's terrorist leader Velupillai Prabakaran...

[gusemcontra]

@lion4tiger And with a massive bout of ethnic cleansing and war crimes carried out by the Sri Lankan government. No wonder groups like the LTTE get support. Governmental Sri Lankan criminals.

[lion4tiger]

@gusemcontra when LTTE kill sri lankans it's called freedom fighting....and when we kill tamils it's a human right violation....go to hell with u and ur democracy mate...we won a war..and in a war innocent ppl die..thats the sad thing about it...but hell yeah we killed all the terrorists as well...so that at least we can say that the innocent lives which were lost was for a cause not for fun.... adios!!!!!

[WhatTheDeuceee]

@lion4tiger You've been killing/slaughtering tamils for soooo long that you don't have the right to bitch when afew LTTE attacks happen!

[hotlikefyre1983]

@lion4tiger such a typical sinhalese thing to say .. oh its no big deal, ppl die, move on world....guess what its a big fuckin deal when innocent ppl get massacred and butchered by an army that works for a govt and is getting paid to do that. i dont think tamils get money for joining the ltte right, thats why they are called freedom fighters bc they are fighting for their lives and not to make $....no matter how much u sinhalse down play what happened the truths already come out

[2ndHandKate]

@monicameansfun247 There's a line where she mentions P.T.O. which stands for "Palestinian Liberation Organization" maybe that's why?

[FromanMD]

@2ndHandKate She's Tamil I wonder why she would give a rat's ass about a bunch of misogynistic assholes like the PLO(or any Muslims for that matter)?Muslims sided with the Sinhalese and blew up Tamil villages didn't they?.

[Chamath5]

@FromanMD Muslims what the hell did they did do most of the muslims are tamil

[FromanMD]

@Chamath5 but they sided with the Sinhalese not the the other Tamil,right?

[Chamath5]

@FromanMD Yeah because Pakistan and Iran supports our govrment

[mashalabg]

kako volim ovu pesmu!

[NATDOG69]

and a giant turd was laid on youtube and every1 smelt it and it was bad!!

[DJDuhhmpretty]

I wish "what society accepts is" didn't exist. If it didn't, we will have more idealists and realists like M.I.A. Close-minded people cannot accept change or diversity.

[Twizzy737]

@DJDuhhmpretty exactly. you said it :)

[NibblerMordicchio1]

M.I.A u are the best singer for me!!!

[ruckfeigns]

i wonder how they stay under the radar with performance like this!! pretty neat composition.....good work

[TheShetty87]

fuck of M.I.A

[RedSnowboarder]

@TheShetty87 fuck you asshole!!!

[luisale130]

@TheShetty87 fuck you,, we are terrorist so what? any problem...

[TheShetty87]

@luisale130 fucking terrorist are now finish. yes i have problem because i love my country,, fuck youu

[falore94]

Like most little girls, my sister (now 11) has been very into and influenced by famous pretty female pop vocalists. An amazing thing happened today. She told me, "Thanks for the M.I.A. CDs. She makes me think about things I haven't, want to learn more, and feel lucky. Like, makes me question, like, the news and what Ms. Gordon (her teacher) says. Things everyone says, things people do." Touching and incredible, right? Now I get why MTV still refuses to play this: they want kids to be mindless.

[agnieszkamaria]

@falore94 The right artists and music did that for me when I was a kid too :)

[Cassafinn]

@falore94

You're a good older sibling. I hope my little sister learns from the music I give her like yours did. :)

[norcal69sf]

@falore94 You should be proud!!! Thumbs up. :)

[siren5000]

killa trak

[motifontheback]

this song in headphones is amazing, the birds are right there all up IN your ears

[mintgil]

this is the edited version.

[DavidCastoe]

I've learned one very important thing from watching this video and that is M.I.A. is fine as hell!

[streakingfree]

@newtubetubetube Schools used to teach us shit, but now we are given the scraps of what they know and told to memorize it. All us HIGH school kids, we're lucky, we were given the gift of the internet at a young age& some of us learned to think for ourselves.

[newtubetubetube]

@streakingfree Peoples thinking for them self is noting new and predate the Internet by millennia. The Web(not Internet, RTFM) is a brainwashing machine, at last for most part, Including youtube. I doubt you ever got close of the free web. You wouldn't dare to see how deep the rabbit hole is.

[streakingfree]

@newtubetubetube actually i'm hatin on you....... show me the web?

[newtubetubetube]

@streakingfree You complain that school only teach you stuff to memorize. What did you expect, you need to know the basics before you can do your own research. You are actually complaining that they don't teach you to fly when you cant barely stand up. Spoiled kid. Fuck off!

[kentj7]

@newtubetubetube You don't complain our nation's high schools only teach us to memorize? That they do nothing to inspire creativity and open thought? That our curriculum is based on a test that every student needs to pass in order for the school to receive funding? The internet hasn't brainwashed us; our society has brainwashed you.

[newtubetubetube]

@kentj7 What is 'us' what is 'you'. You don't know shit. Fuck off

[streakingfree]

@streakingfree LOL u mad??? haters hate cuz they're jealous

[Subjectivity101]

I'd like to know what half the words are.

[newtubetubetube]

@Subjectivity101 They are not words, just throat noise to go with the beat. When teens don't understand, they assume deep meaning and wisdom. Paradoxically, when wisdom is handed to them in clear word, eg: in school, they don't pay attention. When one is obsesses with images, a striper that say noting will sound brilliant.

[Subjectivity101]

@newtubetubetube That was awfully condescending; I’m not a high-school student. I’ve read that M.I.A uses argot from throughout the underdeveloped world. I was curious whether there was anything of that nature in this song.

[streakingfree]

@newtubetubetube Furthermore, MIA's inspiration was the random throat noises that are on the radio, but she made her lyrics have meaning. I'm sorry you can't understand it, but dont hate

[newtubetubetube]

@streakingfree Hate and dislike are different things. Only a overexcited teen fan boy would not be able to tell the difference.

[Dominum]

Free Palestine !

[hotlikefyre1981]

@zamarino wow you need to seriously brush up on some grammer and skills...too much time on the internet makes some ppl stupid

[deadleader1]

GENEVA, January 11, 2011 (AFP) - Swiss police Tuesday raided several properties and arrested ten Tamil Tiger rebels, accusing them of involvement in a criminal group as well as money laundering, the attorney-general's office said."Today, the Swiss Federal Criminal Police carried out a nationally coordinated operation directed at Tamil individuals and members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

"They are accused, amongst other offences, of money laundering and terrorisum!--aioo!

[ivangud]

@deadleader1 Very sad man you are, commenting with this on all her videos? What makes you think she is part of the Tamil Tigers, and what makes you think that, if she is part of a Tamil Tiger group, that she is part of one of the bad groups?

Yes, the Tamil Tigers is not just 1 group anymore, if one of them is bad it doesn't mean that MIA is part of that one ... and you don't even know if she is part of ANY tamil tiger group, only her father..

[deadleader1]

@ivangud which tamil group is/was good according to you?..lol

her father educated mia & funded her singing buisness with the money that he him self extorted from poor tamils..& mia knew that..but she still not apologysing! tamil+muslim+sinhala familes still sufferingin the island due to mia`s fathers action , insted of apology she is singing,dancing & making money whilest victum of his father still suffering!

[norther4life]

@deadleader1 Why would she have to apologize for something she didn't do? Her father did it, not her.

[deadleader1]

@norther4life b`cos she used her faters`s blood-money to promote her music buisness/carrier

not apologysing mean she approve what her father did to sri lankans!.

[norther4life]

@deadleader1 Ohh.... I see.

[minusthecynic]

@deadleader1 she was denied access to america cuz of her father by george bush but obama let her go there

[minusthecynic]

@norther4life we are each responsible for our own sin

[norther4life]

@minusthecynic I know that. but other cultures see things differently. I meant that I understand that there are different points of view, not exactly that I agree with it.
