This song is realy strange cause it has another meaning for all ppl..
And that ''chan chan jackie chan'' is officaly ''Jem Jem Jem'' (the kids are saying it , so it can sound like chan chan jackie chan (it's what you want to hear btw :O)
I had a mate on my corridor at university who was on the same course as her. Not really a claim to fame I know but you have to make the most of things don't you.
It's a sample taken from the film Until The End Of The World by Wim Wenders. It's been mixxed a little by the sound of it but it's pretty much the same as it is in the film. They're actually Camaroonian pygmy children signing a traditional song.
I love this song.When this came out in 2004,I was at a church with a bunch of ridiculing gossiping folks.This song made me question why am I listening to them.Like she said who made up the rules and why do we follow.I left that church and I'm at a better church.I listen to this song whenever I find myself trying to please someone else.
hy! I know you like Jem, because you downloaded a video of one of her songs. Can i ask a favour please? I like her song called How would you like it? and I cant find its lyrics on the internet!
Would you be so kind to write it down to me in a message? I am hungarian, I can speak english but I just cant figure it out sometimes what she sings!
yeah it means something about those secret societies, who is hiding the world from us, they say might be the NATO members, the free maisons, one of those that the more you learn, the less you understand, yeah i agree too might be something about the creators of silly dogmas.
I think "They" is referring to the one who make up the Laws, and the Rules, and When you see such things as "Dont do this" or "Dont go here" and its like :They: are telling you :not: to or :to do: these things, and its like "Who are they( to tell us this), and how can :they: possibly know what to or not to do, maybe its just THEM whoc ant do it. Its like "Why do we listen to a rule ina guide, when we don't even know the person who wrote the rule, and how do THEY kno its a rule?"
Man i really really LOVE this song ... but i dont get the Text (Lyrics) can someone explain it to me please?? Who are THEY ?? and why does she say SHES SORRY ???
It would be great if someone could help me understand this !!!
That is actually the main idea of pop, the biggest part of the song doesn't make ANY sense :p, They... well... probably who made up all the rules, she's sorry... that they, the humans, are so obsessed with rules... i can't come up with anything better...
I always have to laugh when i see cute girls... this one is undoubtedly cute :p, kept me laughing for a long time.
" It is a song about the things that 'they' say, whoever 'they' are that we listen to and we act on without questioning. The example being, and what I wrote it about, was when I went to New York I had read in a New York guide, to not look people in the eye on the subway it kind of implied that I would get shot or something. When I got there I was really scared and literally would not look at anyone."
gotikaraff: All works of art are open to myriad interpretations. Yet this one seems the only logical conclusion to me: Jem is overwhelmed by other's rules and opinions,and without any drama she eases those left behind into the reasons and the fact itself of a suicide. The kids symbolise the strong thoughts pulling her down. The bobby head her acceptance of our rules,yet her disappointment lives on,as all days look the same at the playground wheel...
The kids say "down,down,lucky Jem;down,down,down". So if I am not mistaken,the song is about suicide,about being fed up with other people's rules and about protesting to this in the ultimate and most decisive manner. Since suicide is also a transgression to the law and a bother to those left behind,she seems to feel a need for apologies. (An overwhelming percentage of suicide notes and messages state some kind of apology within them) That would at least explain why she says she's sorry.
At it's foundation she's saying that people follow rules regardless of why those rules exist. The suicide part is a little intense, I don't think she's getting that extreme. I wouldn't entirely rule it out though.
I saw this Video for the first time when I was Nine, and I recently remembered it, And Like, NOONE had heard Of it, I was like OMG WTF? it was a good song! But Now I found it so I'm Happy! anyone who Marks this as Spam Is a moron,Its not spam, its an expression of Joy at finding a Childhood Favorite again, after thinking it had Dissapeared
dont read !!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER. BUT I LOVE MY MOM SO I AM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.If you don't copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours
I love this song, it makes you think about what's really going on in life and society at the moment, and that perhaps instead of oging forward, society is going backwards.
I've always equated this song to people who practice religion in order to promote themselves in front of the public or people who practice a religion just to make themselves feel better as opposed to people who actually believe in what they practice. And no, I'm not just talking about Christianity. People SAY I believe in *this* or *that* without really meaning it in all faiths and in other areas of life.
such an awsome song! i listened to it about 150 times and still fresh! Much better this version of the video than the "Alien" version, goes more with the lyrics and the simple but powerful spirit of the song.
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS, PLEASE. It's the worst thing of all comments. You will die in well before your birthday and if your poor you will die in 5 DAYS!!! D= Unless you poste this on 60 videos. Your parents will be sad, sad, sad. So you better hurry!!! D=
I've never seen this video, but the other version with the space theme. I like the other more, however. That other one reminds me Issac Azimov's short story " Breeds There a Man ...?", which makes the song tremendously mysterious.
Never have seen this video - Love JEM...when I'm rich, I'm quitting this radio gig and building an indie station from scratch. It shall rock! Heehee...
I have loved this song ever since I heard it on the radio about 7 years ago. Now I like the video, too, cause I love her body! ;-)

According to Jem -
" It is a song about the things that 'they' say, whoever 'they' are that we listen to and we act on without questioning.
