AN EGYPTIAN SONG... Dec 19, 2007

I think that it is an Egyptian song wich was a popular "success" 3 or 4 years ago. I don't know the lyrics but may be some Egyptian colleague can help you more.

Regards.

thanks a lot Dec 19, 2007

Waleed thanks a lot for the words and Nesrin for the link.

I had actually seen that clip before but didn't remember it and to be honest i don't think i could have worked it out from the camel singing it.

It is lovely and clear in the clip but as you say very annoying.

Thanks again

DIFFERENT Singing camel Jan 29, 2009

I have a singing camel toy that was bought in Saudi Arabia. It sings a different tune that the one mentioned above. It sounds like he says: "Amma Dai....Amma Dai....Aaaaaama....Aaaaama" Does anyone know what this means?
