Yesterday in Thai language class, we had a bit more fun and wound up listening to and singing along with a pop song by a famous Thai singer, Thongchai McIntyre. It's called "Sa-rup wah bah" and is absolutely hilarious. I'll post here the words, plus the YouTube link for the karaoke-version video so if anyone so inclines, they can check this out and have a good laugh!! If I ever have to do Thai karaoke at Ajarn Chai's house again, at least I know I could choose a Thai song and survive!!

เนื้อเพลง สรุปว่า...บ้า Thongchai “Bird” McIntyre
Lyrics:
I conclude that… is crazy
คนเราถ้าชอบอะไร ใจมันชอบติดตาม ใครก็ห้ามไม่ไหว
When we like something, our heart follows and no
one can get in the way.
ลองมันจะชอบขึ้นมา ไม่ลืมหูลืมตา ก็เรียกว่าบ้าใช่ไหม
Try it, it’ll grow, and you’ll be deaf and blind.
People would call you crazy, wouldn’t they?
บางก็บ้าสม่ำเสมอ ถ้าได้เจอะได้เจอ ก็ให้ห่างเอาไว้
Some people are always crazy, if you come across
them, stay away
บางคนก็บ้าชั่วคราว บ้าฉบับกระเป๋า เอาดีก็พอไหว
Some people are just temporarily crazy, e.g. over magazines and purses. It’s better to stop.
บางคนก็บ้าเงินทอง หามาได้หลายกอง แล้วก็เก็บไม่ยอมใช้
Some people are crazy over money. They’ve found and
built many piles and don’t want to use it.
บางคนก็บ้าดารา บ้างก็บ้าวิชา บ้างก็บ้าต้นไม้
Some people are crazy about stars (people), some
are crazy about a subject (of study), some are crazy about trees
ฉันนี้ก็บ้าเสมอ ที่ยังบ้ารักเธอ ถึงเธอจะไม่ใส่ใจ
I’m also as crazy, that I’m still crazy in love
with you, when you’re heart’s not there.
เธอเองก็บ้าพอกัน ที่เธอไม่บ้ารักฉัน ใครกันจะทนไหว
You are also as crazy as me, because you’re not crazy in love with me. Who can stand it?
CHORUS
สรุปว่าตัวฉันบ้า สรุปว่าเธอก็บ้า สรุปว่าคนนั้นบ้า
Sa-roop
wah tua chun bah Sa-roop wah tur gaw
bah Sa-roop wah kon nun bah
Conclude that
body me
crazy Conclude that
you also crazy
Conclude that
person that crazy
I conclude that I’m crazy. I conclude that you’re crazy.
I conclude that (s)he’s crazy.
ไม่รู้ใครบ้ากว่าใคร x2
Mai roo
krai bah gwah krai
Negate
know who crazy than who
I’m not sure who’s crazier than whom.
คนเราถ้าบ้าพอกัน แล้วก็จะเข้าใจกัน แล้วก็บ้ากันไป
If we’re all equally crazy, and want to understand
each other, and keep being crazy
เธอน่าจะบ้ากับฉัน จะได้บ้าด้วยกัน แล้วจะเกิดความหมาย
You should be crazy with me, so we can be crazy
together, and meaning will arise
เราจะมีโลกส่วนตัว ให้เธอบ้าทำครัว ฉันก็บ้ากินไป
We’ll have our private world, where you can go
crazy cooking. I’ll go crazy eating.
เราจะได้บ้ากันเพลิน ฉันจะบ้าทำเงิน ให้เธอบ้าไปใช้
We can then enjoy being crazy. I’ll go crazy making
money for you to go crazy using.
CHORUS
After Thai class, I took Rebel to meet all his friends at Greyhound Planet Day. He put up with trying on about 20 different collars before I decided on a purple and black one that went well with his colouring. Blue brindles aren't the easy colour to match bling with!! Serge Rivard Photography was also on site to take professional photos, so I brought Rebel for his photo shoot. He was hilarious! He had no idea what was expected of him, only that he had to sit on this white fur floor and everyone was throwing treats at him!! He sat, stood, lay down and generally was like a dog on speed for about 10 minutes! We finally got him sitting and ears perked by threatening to toss treats in the air to his waiting mouth "1! 2!! 3!!!". The photos turned out awesome and I'll post the picture of the picture here until I can get a real digital file. He's such a happy dog!!
