Don’t know if many of you will remember these, I remember the theme songs more then the actual videos.

Yesterday I dropped my car at the BMW dealer because some parts I had ordered arrived. While there I spotted a really cool looking car that looked like an old Lotus. Turned out it was a BMW M1. The car was made between 1978-1981 and it looked like it was in excellent condition. At that moment I was like I need to have that car. Of course I didn’t know how much a vintage car like that cost. I just checked online and the cheapest one I found was for $91,000. What a cool car though.

Ok I swear this is my last YouTube post for today but I really couldn’t resist posting this. Remember the cheesy music video for the song “Everything OK” which I posted awhile back? Well here is another version! According to the comments the guys were in the studio recording another song when they started singing Everything OK. It seems the song was sung every now and then by different people just for fun of it. [YouTube ]

Some commenter on YouTube called 7akeemz also posted the lyrics which go something like this:

Everything ok x2
Ok x3
My darlen ok
Everything ok

Ta3al ya 7abeeby common here
Mar7aba seedi yes sir x2

Lashe ya sadeeki
Xxxxx
Please don’t leave me once again

Ash ya 7abeeby rite alrite
Bukra il barty 2mwro night x2
Bukra ta3alu 2mwro night
Jaweb hala2 yes alrite

Verse 4
Ijeena da5alna 3ala il garsone
Surna nil3ab sharlestone

Gultlo rite galli ok…

Thanks waswas

While flipping through some videos of Kuwait on YouTube I found a couple for the old popular kids show Iftah Ya Simsim. I found three different intros though but I even remember a different one so I am guessing they were a whole bunch of different ones. Another cool thing with these videos is you get to see the different vintage KTV television idents. Check out the three intros I found below.

First Intro
Second Intro
Third Intro

Also here is some info on the show on Wikipedia. [Link]
Am I the only one who didn’t know No3man was supposed to be a camel??

Its extremely strange how it starts out like a horror and then ends up with a guy in a speedo… [YouTube]

I just found out some disappointing news. After all these years of drinking Like Cola thinking I was supporting a local product, I just found out that Like was actually introduced by 7up. Oh well at least we still have Shani to be proud of.

I am looking for any kind of info, videos or pictures on the Kuwait City Breakers. If you have any please contact me using the contact form [Here]

The KCB were a break dancing group in the 80’s who used to go and break dance at places like Shaab Park and Entertainment City.

And in case you missed it, the Hungry Bunny commercial. [Link]

Thanks Feras!

note: If you didn’t live in Kuwait pre-1990 you will not get this

These scratch ‘n sniff stickers were popular ack in the 80’s when I was in high school. I wonder if I could still buy these stickers from somewhere… [Link]

I found this on Ma6aba’s blog who found it on Thekrayat’s blog. Now if only someone can upload the Pizza Italia commercial and some Kids R Us footage!

[YouTube]

Found this old Abenderado commercial while flipping through YouTube. Anyone who watched any TV in Kuwait pre-1990 will surely remember this. If anyone can find me the old Hungry Bunny or Pizza Italia commercials I would be very grateful!

I posted about this song before, here is the actual video clip:

A pretty weird HITACHI commercial from 1992. [YouTube]

And while I am at it, here is a clip of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant Vs King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd [YouTube]
