Thank you M.I.A, you inspired little arab girls to believe in themselves across the world!
I love how this song was about Saudi woman who couldn’t drive years ago but not everyone knew ,and she was saying سوقي سوقي soki soki which means drive in Arabic
eh, in those places women were able to drive (desert areas) it's different than the city. so they did all those scary things just the same but in smaller numbers, women have been able to drive for years now and the numbers haven't changed much although many women drive thesedays which didn't change anything much in society other than releifing guys from either having to drive them around or getting them a driver. it was a weird rule only made in saudi that not even the saudi people nor the government wanted, they were actually more afraid of how the men would react (assault and all that stuff) rather than afraid that the women would do anything wrong.... and yes sexual assault did increase but not because of women driving but the reason for the increased assault is a whole different story for another day lol (although most of the assault is just cat calling)

It’s crazy how when her songs drops it’s always underrated and then people coming back to appreciate her masterpieces way later. She too ahead of her time
It's something called (تفحيط)/ Only those from the (Arabian Gulf) they play it like Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar Teenagers are the ones who invented this thing in Saudi Arabia, then it spread in the Gulf, but it's only a game for boys/Because in the past women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia And the singer plays the game of boys in the song 🙃🙃
I'm schooling a young woman who's struggling, feels powerless, meaningless. I asked if she's ever listened to MIA - bc MIA still makes me feel powerful. I'm 69, my friend is 24.
she needs to re-release this with a feature on it or just as it is. it needs to get more recognition. teens in 2012 didnt deserve this masterpiece its so slept on
I think this song was very much of it’s time - it was a huge hit and very much reflective of women’s rights movements that campaigned for more freedom for women in the Middle East
It’s even better when you know how it feels to ride a horse like that! When they stride out, it feels like you’re flying. The wind makes your eyes water like crazy !

Nice to meet you! I happened to know this song while driving while playing GTA 5. After that, make sure to listen to this song while driving on the highway!

This is one of my favourite videos of all time - the different elements and the strong feminine sentiment against Muslim middle east cultural background is such a statement - could say so much more but can't leave out how she exudes sexuality .
I'm not sure there's a better song + video, ever... this just doesn't look like ANYTHING else. A whole new imaginary. And the song is fucking beautiful.
It always makes me laugh when young people are like, she was 37???!! Whoa she’s actually cool and not grey haired and using a walker??! 37 is young, people.
"suki suki" or "sooukie sooukie" is actually an arabic word means "drive drive!" (سوقي سوقي) feminine conjugation. also the whole video is inspired by saudi drifting back in 2000s. especially this part 2:55 in the MV it's inspired from these crazy guys from this video: ruclips.net/video/YPN-mt-PXZo/видео.html
@@scanbbb 1. Incels typically insist on using the word "females" rather than "woman" or "girl" to refer to women/girls as a slight to them. It's a little bit like referring to a black man as simply a "Black" (for example, "Bring that black over there here"), in that while its technically true that they are black, it's not the most polite/respectful way of referring to someone of that color. 2. It's also just a little "off" in terms of its general usage of the word; how would you feel if you had a 5 year old and someone came up to you and said "My, you what a pretty little female you have there!"? It would be a very oddly worded way to compliment a little girl (or a woman, for that matter)...
This is such a badass music video, the scene with the women holding the AK’s, all the men standing together with their traditional headscarves on, and the horse riding through the desert. This MV just screams badassery.
Though I agree it’s awesome, British people (hi - me) cringe when people say “British accent” 😩😂 Britain is 4 countries in a union, so there’s 4 different main accents, then within that, hundreds of regional accents 😝 I’m Scottish, but that means I’m also British. My accent isn’t anything like MIA’s 🤓😝 Most of the time when people say British accent, they mean English (because otherwise they say Northern Irish/Scottish or Welsh). Just a fun reminder that a British accent doesn’t exist 😝 Edit: it’s like saying someone had a “Soviet Union accent” 😝 the Soviet Union was many separate countries under one umbrella, all with totally different accents and languages. So yeah, a British accent isn’t a thing 😝
@@TallulahFoxxx nah not in this context, because you can tell she’s from Britain, it doesn’t matter about the specific accent, you’d say the same if it was a Scottish accent. But in other contexts yeah I agree. It’s like the USA, southern versus north.
@@XXXTENTAClON227 people don’t say British accent when it’s a Scottish person 😂 it’s also nothing like the north and southern America - the USA is one country and those accents differ within that one single country. Britain is NOT one country. It is a union of different nations. See my example about the Soviet Union. I was born in West Germany (I’m an army brat). Someone from East Germany quite literally spoke a different language from Russians, but they were still in the Soviet Union. It’s the same with Britain. People in Wales and Scotland speak literally different languages. Scots English and Gaelic are recognised independent languages, separate from English. So a British accent doesn’t and can’t exist when Great Britain is a union of different countries where they speak different languages in addition to English.

Just Yeah
wow i learn something everyday. pls i thought she was speaking cool gibberish 😭
eh, in those places women were able to drive (desert areas) it's different than the city. so they did all those scary things just the same but in smaller numbers, women have been able to drive for years now and the numbers haven't changed much although many women drive thesedays which didn't change anything much in society other than releifing guys from either having to drive them around or getting them a driver.
it was a weird rule only made in saudi that not even the saudi people nor the government wanted, they were actually more afraid of how the men would react (assault and all that stuff) rather than afraid that the women would do anything wrong....
and yes sexual assault did increase but not because of women driving but the reason for the increased assault is a whole different story for another day lol (although most of the assault is just cat calling)
In Russian "suki- суки" means bitches 😂
i can’t get over how cool this video really is, theres nothing like it
it’s also a protest against countries who don’t allow women to drive. this video got lots of controversy and is SUPERR iconic

In the strips club

The first time I heard this song was 2013 in a gta strip club...... I remeber listening to this everyday on youtube after that....
your telling me she was 37 when this song came out 😭😭 WHAT I hope to be as much as a hot girl as her when I’m 37
Yassssssssssss
It always makes me laugh when young people are like, she was 37???!! Whoa she’s actually cool and not grey haired and using a walker??! 37 is young, people.
@@hmh4951 clearly not what they meant...not every 37 year old could pass as in their 20s

I miss 2012. So many great songs came out in that year. The world wasnt on fire. Happy times, that feel close yet so far away.
"suki suki" or "sooukie sooukie" is actually an arabic word means "drive drive!" (سوقي سوقي) feminine conjugation.
also the whole video is inspired by saudi drifting back in 2000s. especially this part 2:55 in the MV it's inspired from these crazy guys from this video:

She truly is a powerful female.
Love her.
Powerful woman.
Woman*
@@Pxronas literally no difference
@@scanbbb Yeah but saying it as female is so weird honestly
@@scanbbb 1. Incels typically insist on using the word "females" rather than "woman" or "girl" to refer to women/girls as a slight to them. It's a little bit like referring to a black man as simply a "Black" (for example, "Bring that black over there here"), in that while its technically true that they are black, it's not the most polite/respectful way of referring to someone of that color.
2. It's also just a little "off" in terms of its general usage of the word; how would you feel if you had a 5 year old and someone came up to you and said "My, you what a pretty little female you have there!"?
It would be a very oddly worded way to compliment a little girl (or a woman, for that matter)...
Can we take a moment and thank her for this wild music video?
It's so funny how this is 9 years old but she's wearing clothes that'd be trendy in 2020 haha
it's cause old clothes are back in fashion,..
Drippy before it was cool
this whole song was kinda ahead of its time lol
@@geckopecko so true
That corset type top? Yes!
This is such a badass music video, the scene with the women holding the AK’s, all the men standing together with their traditional headscarves on, and the horse riding through the desert. This MV just screams badassery.
Y’all don’t talk about how she didn’t lose her British accent while singing
yup, you can hear it really well when she says "through" lol
@@raniazoyashaik1879 for me it was the word “girls”
Though I agree it’s awesome, British people (hi - me) cringe when people say “British accent” 😩😂 Britain is 4 countries in a union, so there’s 4 different main accents, then within that, hundreds of regional accents 😝 I’m Scottish, but that means I’m also British. My accent isn’t anything like MIA’s 🤓😝
Most of the time when people say British accent, they mean English (because otherwise they say Northern Irish/Scottish or Welsh). Just a fun reminder that a British accent doesn’t exist 😝
Edit: it’s like saying someone had a “Soviet Union accent” 😝 the Soviet Union was many separate countries under one umbrella, all with totally different accents and languages. So yeah, a British accent isn’t a thing 😝
@@TallulahFoxxx nah not in this context, because you can tell she’s from Britain, it doesn’t matter about the specific accent, you’d say the same if it was a Scottish accent. But in other contexts yeah I agree. It’s like the USA, southern versus north.
@@XXXTENTAClON227 people don’t say British accent when it’s a Scottish person 😂 it’s also nothing like the north and southern America - the USA is one country and those accents differ within that one single country. Britain is NOT one country. It is a union of different nations. See my example about the Soviet Union. I was born in West Germany (I’m an army brat). Someone from East Germany quite literally spoke a different language from Russians, but they were still in the Soviet Union. It’s the same with Britain. People in Wales and Scotland speak literally different languages. Scots English and Gaelic are recognised independent languages, separate from English. So a British accent doesn’t and can’t exist when Great Britain is a union of different countries where they speak different languages in addition to English.
Still the song gives me the chills .Love from India.😍
Of course! And love from Sri Lanka too 😍
From America just moved to Australia! Love this song and just re found it

The lyrics aren't that good, in my opinion.
TeShiky well its one of her poppier songs but its still about female empowerment
Anne Razak Pretty sure they cover their face for other reasons.
I love how this song is so badass and there isn't even naked girls, strip clubs, or any of that bs
There is guns see the vid again
It's actually the best part of the video, too
kacaramel everything that was said above and also this song is about sex. Haha. "My chain hits my chest when I'm banging on the dashboard..." etc.

+Cremo bitch don't lie the guys who at the video are not African , they are from Saudi Arabia and united Arab Emirates
+Jelly I doubt that. The clip was intended to be film in Saudi Arabia, but was actually filmed in Morocco for pretty obvious reasons. Those guys are just dressed to look like they are from arabia.
