I never heard those shots until I stumbled upon this video. The beginning is the most memorable part to me, because I've heard it so many times other places.
In this song, M.I.A. plays up the stereotype of a menacing illegal immigrant, forging documents and threatening violence. It was inspired by her efforts to enter America on a visa (she is a British citizen of Sri Lankan descent), which resulted in a months-long bureaucratic morass, something she attributed to her dark skin and ethnic real name: Mathangi Arulpragasam
Ubisoft did WAYYYYY too good of a job with Far Cry 3 and the opening. Everytime I hear this song it sends me back to the first time I watched the intro not knowing what to expect from the game and Vaas moving the phone out of your face after the montage of happy go wild fun Jason and the others were having.
It’s now 2024… You came here to remember those great summers before 2020 and relax with this beautiful song.. keep it up never lose hope and remember.. we’ll reach the "better days" 😁
2008 I turned 16 and got my first used car and blasted this song. Now as of today I'm driving a Mercedes Benz and before I pull out the driveway you better believe I'm playing this song!!!
When this song came on in the club back in the day it was wild, i miss those days lol. Lived in London Ontario Canada when this song came out and partied like crazy back then.
@@seanpjc4419 Well, actually I'd say that the 00's kids are the people who were kids in the 00's, so anyone born from 1996-2006 (because people who were born in the late 90's were actually too young to remember the 90's and people who were born in the late 00's were also too young to remember the 00's ; my brother was born in 2008 for example, and all his childhood memories are from the 2010's, while I was born in 1999 and all my childhood memories are from the 2000, because that's when I was a kid)
Yeah I felt the same right when it came out. A lot of songs with a similar sound feel the same to me. Echo and overlayed sounds. Not sure how to describe it
its Un-Australian to not have this on all playlists, homemade Cds, mp3 players, phones, or any other media devices, The Boys Courts ststes its Punishable by either a Free-shot with the White Ball in the corner pocket of your exposed Man-Berries, or a double swim of a un-fed croc river crossing.
People wanna feel special, and when a song you like gets popular, it kinda feels like it’s not special anymore (I’m guilty and it’s kinda irrational but that’s prolly why people are all like “TIK TOK RUINED IT😡😡😡😭😭😢”)
Maybe it was because i didn't drive cars a lot but i didn't remember it was on the game 😂 would play it again but the quick time murders are keeping me away
