Hey Sita,

It is difficult to make up everything as the audio not very good, but basically it sound like it's a love song and the audience laughed when she said ya habibi George Clooney I could see why I like him too

.... I hope that makes sense

you do? (I have heard he's a man's man

) I'm more of a Jeremy Irons/Hugh Jackman/ Assaad Bouab girl myself....
(I'm a naturally greedy person never can narrow ideal men down to one

)

Sita

Hey Sita,

You're not greedy at all You're just a girl with a big heart

... I have the same problem too I can't narrow it to one woman only.

I think you're right about Clooney .. he you come across as a decent guy too.

George Cloony!!!

I have heard it all now.

I have to say that the song was pretty dire but I am not a Natacha fan in the slightest.

I heard.. 'there is nothing in life like you George Cloony...'

Is the song meant to be a joke or what?

I don't know if this is a joke or not ... but it seems to me she is Hayganh ala George Clooney ala el akhier, I don't blame her the guy is pretty .. do you!!??

Yeah it is a joke and not a 'proper' song more a little ditty she performed live...(may have improvised I don't know). I couldn't help but be intrigued by it though...

Thanks Mahmoud for the understanding nice to know I'm not alone

The trouble is I've never come across a culture or religion where women are allowed to practise polygamy.. (perhaps I should start one

)
so in some ways you have it easier I know of a least five cultures/religions that will happily allow you to have more than one women... as long as your rich.. so better start saving up ...

sorry, I dont share the same love or fascination with George Clooney

I was always told there was one in the Pacific somewhere...was I lied too?

anyway, why would you want more than one husband to clean up after?

There are some cultures where a wife has more than one husband (possibly brothers?) although yuo guessed it , they get to do all the work for all the men!!!!

Hey guys,

I remember seeing something on TV about such a place but I don't remember where. But I think it was more like several women lived together caring for the children who were product of different fathers.
