Rihanna | Onelargeprawn

Last year Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues set the country alight with their anthem for Braai Day. Yesterday they released a song about yet another South African insitution—the ubiquitous car guard.

Filmed near parking spaces next to the local Spar in Vredehoek and sung in the same style as “Love The Way You Lie” by Eminem, Watts tells us about the life and often thankless job of a car guard. Some people give R2 while others give excuses, and Watts is about to hang up his high visibility vest when the car guard king arrives, dropping R5 coins and a whole lot of sage advice. Check out The Car Guard Song below.

People have polarized opinions about car guards. What are your thoughts—do you pay them for the protecting your car or do you leg it before they get there?

Paul Dateh’s Super Cool Violin Mashup

We were amazed by Pomplamoose and their great cover of Michael Jackson’s Beat It. There are links to more of their track in the comments of that post. If you liked that, then you may love Asian musician Paul Dateh and his awesome violin skills.

Dateh has taken a couple of songs from the recent iTunes Top 40 list, mashed them together, and played them back on his trusty violin. Check it out below.

The tracks covered in this mashup were:

Lady Gaga – Telephone
Ke$ha – Blah Blah Blah
Rihanna – Rude Boy
Usher – OMG

Back in 2007, Dateh played a selection of hip hop songs whilst DJ inka one spun the turntables in the background. See that after the jump.
