Cure for Chalga

[Ryan Timothy B]

I'm terribly confused..

[Gilbert]

...if only someone can enlighten me in tutoring me on what exactly is a Chalga.

All I can see in this is a dam (no pun intended).

Edit: All right. Google translate told me that it's "cure for abortion", so... ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalga
Chalga is not only a music genre. It's also a lifestyle on Balkans. Many people likes it, because the music is simple. Many people likes it because the lyrics are stupid. Strange, isn't it. And some people have reached the point to create those kind of short movie clips, showing their disapproval with this phenomenon. There is a whole industry that earns a lot of money from the chalga music and lifestyle.

Chalga lyrics translated to English:
Eh, Tiger, Tiger! Have you got the money?
When you got the money — got the pretty women
Eh, Tiger, Tiger! Have you got no money?
If you got no money — only grannies

And here is the song "Tiger, Tiger": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2Ls6HPT0-g

Examples for chalga songs' titles: "Good buy, hookers", "I'll give 100 kilograms grape brandy", "The village bath", "Hey chickens, come to daddy", "I'm a hunter and I'm also fisherman", "Sexmachine runs through the forest", "Brother, buy me a satellite dish", "Hey son, you can't become a thief", "No money, back to work", "Bird flu", "Those two red tomatoes".

Examples for chalga bands' names: "Super Coca Cola Band", "Alf No Problem 93 Band"...

In the western world there is a similar phenomenon - Lady Gaga

Don't get me wrong. I HATE CHALGA!
