"The Bimbo"?

[hpiccov]

Ufff ! Como me encanta "El Bimbo".

[custardaghost]

Anyone who went on an early-mid 1970s package to the Costa del Sol will know this - just add:

-strong whiff of: sweat, Ambre Solaire, calamine lotion, cheap perfume ("Prince Matchabelli"), frying, and of course, Watney's Red Barrel;

-echoes of: complaints about the tea tasting of drains, cement mixers, bashed-metal-tray/stuffed-donk­ey hawkers sales-yak;

-feel of nylon clothing sticking to sunburn, plastic sandals (& nylon socks), sticky hairspray melting;

-taste of egg & chips in olive oil

Bimbo Jet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bimbo Jet was a French euro disco group led by Claude Morgan and Laurent Rossi,[1] that gained international fame in the summer of 1975 from the song, "El Bimbo".

The tune to "El Bimbo" is "Tanha Shudham Tanha", composed by the Afghan musician and singer Ahmad Zahir, for his 1971 album Lylee.

[shahpuoraryaee]

"El Bimbo" is popular with street musicians and orchestral composers alike, with Paul Mauriat having capitalized well from his own instrumental arrangement. The song was also heard in four of the seven Police Academy films starting from the first film up until Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol as the tango song in The Blue Oyster Bar scenes.

[shahpuoraryaee]

It was also sung by Tanju Okan, was famous Turkish singer as "Şerefe" ("Cheers" in Turkish) in 1974, by Selçuk Ural, was also famous Turkish singer between late 60s and early 90s as "Al Sevgini ("You get your love" in Turkish") in 1975 and by Ayla Algan, is famous Turkish actress and was singer between late 60s and early 80s as "Sen De Katıl Bize ("You also join us" in Turkish) in 1975.

[Feabel]

There's a "flamboyant" gentleman among those ladies...

[spooksixsix]

@Feabel are you sure? looks like a bearded lady to me.

[baremidriff]

@Feabel I bet he got laid that night

[Brunozaire]

[4bawbees]

[tsiou1987]

Lindas chicas and the one in black is a BEARDED GUY!!! LOL..!

[floribellae]

[TheSince1453]

WE NO SPEAK AMERICANO ;)

[krakenwave]

The director was totally in love with the girl with the white slacks/triangle top and blonde page-boy hair that's nearest on the right. You can see how the main camera either started or centred its every shot based on her.

[octinum]

@krakenwave I noticed that too. BTW, anyone knows who she is?

[AlburyAustralia]

The song for tobacco addiction is "tobacco road"

The song for alcohol addiction is "roll out the barrell"

The song for sex addiction is "EL BIMBO"

e.g Listen to this next morning with a drink after an unsuccessfull night, (so much enjoyment out of the hints of cruelty, pain and hash tasks in the vocals.)

The clue for the blue oyster bar is in the actions of every sex addict- chase skirt too hard & whats under it WON'T matter)

[fabienne53]

ça m'évoque 1974 ah la la

[oscardriver]

the most STUPID song ever, yet people love it LOL

[valdi2754]

Cudowne...wspomnienia jak gwiazdy szybują po niebie...

[KIZERVONZINGER]

I remember this song is was a very happy tune :)

[buddyeagle]

BIMBO: Means: MALE. BUT IN USA people don't know nothing about Italian, spanish or portuguese.

[LDKBBAB]

Damn, it must've been nice not to worry about AIDS back than!

[NENUZKA612]

Ahhh què lindo eso...en Colombia lo escuchamos mucho, ha sido un gran idolo de nuestra tierra porque nosostros somos grandes admiradores de toda la musica, somos unos bohemoios....cuando le diga..ahhh que bonito.

[crpucheta]

A nadie se le ocurre opinar del flaco del medio? Ah, que no lo vieron! Pobre guso se esta gastando y todos opinan de las chicas mientras el melena desangra sus extremidades en franco vuelo de ser vedete. Que feo no haberlo catalogado como bueno, jiji. Un poco de humor. Muy buen recuerdo. Gracias.-

[jingausan]

[ColinPatriotCHN]

[GHETTOBOII4321]

This music was actually from a afghan famous sing ahmad zahir mazing music and voice he actually made this music and or song than others really liked it and put in plays movies great melody

[ghoststyles]

@GHETTOBOII4321 ur right

[alanlovedog]

this is like non spanish people pretending to be spanish in an insulting manner - i cant believe it's real.

[Satunian]

Not really. It's actually a sing based off an Afghani song, so I think they're trying to go for a middle eastern edge. And also, it was the 70s, so try to forgive the clothes and such!

[bakhtary1]

@Satunian yes, it,s an afghany song in dari (persian) by AHMAD ZAHIR (tanha shodam tanha ) a great song , my beloved

[welovefreedom89]

yes absolutely man, the song of blue oyster bar :D

[afgun4life]

El Bimbo was copied in 1974 from "Tanha Shudam Tanha" made in 1971 by the Afghan Legend Ahmad Zahir. Look it up on youtube or google or wikipedia if u got any doubts.

[dangaieCa]

You are right, ahmad zahir's version was much better> thanks for the good info
