Match the lyrics to a samba tune and a malaysian accent and you’ll get an idea of how it plays.

I’d be happy if I never heard it again :P I’m sure Con plays it just to get a reaction out of me :)

That's the word I wanted but couldn't summon this morning!<br/><br/>I think it's a good thing that you can't immediately think what sort of 'boil' is being referred to here, Miss L, but I'm sure you know the sort. Not the boiling on the stove kind of boil, but the pus-filled, painful and generally gross sort. The <i>Kamus Pelajar</i> defines 'bisul' as 'a boil, abcess'. Yes, boppy! That’s the word I wanted but couldn’t summon this morning!

No, I can't see how those lyrics would improve M's impression of the song. Though it does seem to be very boppy, just by the lyrics.<br/><br/>Lovely translation, but i didn't quite understand 'boils'. is that something that's boiling on the stove? I could check bisul in my dictionary, but it's too far away from me right now... haha! No, I can’t see how those lyrics would improve M’s impression of the song.

Lovely translation, but i didn’t quite understand ‘boils’. is that something that’s boiling on the stove? I could check bisul in my dictionary, but it’s too far away from me right now…
