[mashinebenz]

It took me ages to find this song! Finally :)

[marcoaurelio1883]

Fantastic melody and lyrics. A type of music, unfortunately, out of fashion today. We have freedom, but we could not creat anything new.

[TheTio98]

una de las mejores canciones de la historia

[johannipanni99]

Älskar att jag heter johanna xD

[kristinelawrie]

I absolutely loved this song as a little child not knowing what it was about but kept singing this through out my life because it was beautiful to me x

[RicxelArms]

I hear she makes all those golden MONEY...To buy new WEAPONS in the shape of GUNS....While ""Every MOTHER"" inna ""BLACK SOWETO"" FEELS ""THE KILLING OF ANOTHER SON"" Thats some statement....

Great song..Great MAN..

POWERFUL LYRICS...

[Ancupola]

This is a great video! I adore this song. I hope South Africa can solve its social problems and above all the crime

[erscott13]

First time news ever made me cry was when Mandela won the election to become president. There will never be another like him.

[hamooche]

[nicehax]

Johanna tukiainen on todella perseestä ^^ Eddie Grant<3

[conautiver]

[ShineStar81]

i love this song an i agree with missnutmeg95.

i dont know why but this song make me happy.

[PussyLune]

*.*

[missnutmeg95]

this is a really cool song about the apartheid in South Africa, keeping blacks and whites seperate, where your status in life was determined by your race- Whites, blacks, half-n-halfs. This song is about getting hope from "Johanna" which is a reference to the country of South Africa, sometimes called Johanna- thus, Johannesburg. This song is not about dope, folks.

[Svittidiu]

turpa kii vitun huomiohuorat

Jkiffe a fond !!!mdr

[Sega66666]

This song is 21 years old :)

[kunQQ]

How old is this? 20-30 years?

[tashkenty]

one of the best sociopolitical songs ever made, aside from "strange fruit," "southern man" and "song from a cotton field." definitely one of the best in the 20th century.

[Nekofemme]

Awesome song! Awesome video!

[imakuleus]

[bobgrantsbus]

Another great song from Mr. Grant. This is a very special song for me, its the first 7" single I ever stole from Woolworths, ah the memories!

[nxtplanet]

ahaha! thats ace! im gunna get this song in my head now if i ever go into woolworths :D

[oldphoque]

This was such a great song and I`m not sure America listened to the lyrics. Kids did not know Johanna was short for Johannasburg. They just loved to dance to this number. Whatever, the awhareness to apartheid was full steam. We still need to stand strong against all forms of oppression!

[333vasco]

"shame about what happened to appartite"...

What was a shame was Mandela calling for peace when he could have won a war for the whole african continent. The rate was 7:1 Seven blacks for one white. 5 million armed boers would not have a chance against 35 million blacks with jungle knives. It happened in angola, it happens in israel, and it should have happened there.

[davie78]

nob of spawn of a dutchman, not your country so fuck of out of it back to clogg land

[jOhAAA85]

jajaja Johanna!! sii!! ea ea ea a mover la cadera ea!!!

que sabooooorrrrr!!

Stay Cool.

[warrenbat12]

shame about what happened to appartite

[ReadeRomke]

apartheid.. is the word. Maybe you could learn Afrikaans or Dutch.

[victor10x]

en.... het is niet eens een echt nederlands woord maar een leenwoord uit het afrikaans-nederlands.. maar ja hoe vertel je die mensen dat :-(

[joharojas]

yeahh viva YO!!!!

[RONSTERRONSTER]

Gimme hope Jo'anna 1988 26-03-1988 number 1for (5wk)

[romanistaromi]

[rizwan1983]

What an amazingly relevant song, describing to amazing accuracy the plight of modern America, Africa, and most of South Asia and South East Asia.

[kristina2732]

[corazon20]

実際に行ったことの無い、本物の「火工品」とも 向き合ったこともない、日本のマスコミに 洗脳された「アカ」連中がごたごた言う権利は無い！ 自衛官の仕事は本当に「命がけ」です。 （私は自衛官ではありませんが） 演習中に、事故で自分の腕を吹き飛ばされた連中だって います。それは何のためなのか、分かってますか？ 自分たちを否定されつつも、そんなあなた方を 有事の際に守る抜くためです。（まさか「有事」で アメリカが本当に日本を守ってくれる、なんて安易に 思ってないでしょうね？）実際にそんな砂漠で鼻毛を 砂で真っ黒にして、まともにベッドも無いようなホテル で寝泊りし、（砂漠にまともなホテルがあると思いますか？）疲弊­して体験してこそ、是非を語る権利があると 思います。 きつい文面で、失礼しました

[CatGirlie]

...Googled myself and this is what I found? o.o

[QueenMarge]

mich hat dieses lied immer genervt, aber seit ich mal in nem club nen mörderremix davon gehört hab, (etwas schneller gepitcht und n voll harter beat dazu) macht es immer gute laune, weil ich dann immer daran denke, wie geil dieser abend war ;)

[pedjorge]

zimbabwe is just another story of the invicible hand of the oppressor :)

[vanpastel]

Inspiring.

[polpot28]

I wonder were South Africans better off before 1994!From what I've heard it seems South Africans are worse off now!but then thats politics. Great Song!

[tispandy]

Ashamed to say, first time I have heard this.

I knew Grant was creative, talented and, well, hot!

More impressed now, very brave!

- Wonder who wrote this this song. If not Grant, and crew, why did writers contract Grant to present it. (I can feel the power, excellent choice. Very moving song.) Anyone know?

-

Sad conditions all over the world. That is one of the worse. Sending prayers.

-

baterflai, very creative work.

[clivebradford]

For the person who asked who wrote this song, according to Wikipedia, it was the man himself, Eddie Grant

[tbugra92]

ca fait penser que bientot c les vacances alors rien de tel ke cette chanson dans la voiture oooh give me hope !!

[TanzanianRoots]

Viva free South Africa!! This song rules....

[TanzanianRoots]

Because whites were never oppressed, thats why.

Why do you have gay pride but not straight pride? Because minorities have had their pride battered in white colonies for hundereds of years and have to fight for it back.

[powerliftingmama]

lord!!!glad you think so

[powerliftingmama]

i thought in america you have the right to worship your religon. i think it wrong to judge a person by their race or religon

[hamlet19792007]

I'm not american though. I'm British which makes me uperior to everyone everywhere!

[powerliftingmama]

i meant it

[hamlet19792007]

By saying that you become as racist as the Klan. White people have as much right to be proud of being white and to celebrate their culture as blacks do.

[powerliftingmama]

agreed but it shouldn't matter whether we are black or white.all people should be treated as equal

[hamlet19792007]

Except for muslims that is.

[dunderbajs]

Fucking nigger, White pride!

[powerliftingmama]

grow up you dumb redneck

[hamlet19792007]

If blacks can have BlackPride then why can't whites be prund of being white?

[powerliftingmama]

because sometimes they take yo far(KKK)

[eleusis66]

great song!!

[BANDIT120066]

has real meaning!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[echoonoo]

I remember growing up in South Africa and hoping the morning will bring a change. It was music like this that gave us hope.
