ANA SHEIKH
Song: Salim – Ana Sheikh
Reimagining. More Subversive. More Opulent. More shameless. More Uncut.
1: 0-0:18, 2: 0:18-0:32, 3: 0:33-1:03 4: 1:04-1:15, 5: 1:15-1:26, 6: 1:27-35, 7: 1:37-1:46, 8: 1:47-1:58, 9: 1:58-2:08, 10: 2:09-2:18, 11: 2:19-2:24, 12: 2:24-2:30, 13: 2:32-2:42.
1: As he says the first line of the song, "Taal Taal yah habibi, Al khyr maujood, al khyr kiteer", we follow him as he moves to his courtyard of his palatial house. Where he sees 'his' dog and kisses her and cuddles her.
2: The scene then cuts to him in his palatial house, sitting on two people, with one person's back as his support. As he sits on them, he's a hefty person who has three gold bricks on his legs. The people below him are also hefty, and the person who's supporting him as well, as he starts rapping, "Bitch, ANA SHEIKH".
3: "My Money bring me power, ANA SHEIKH, black gold, I send it to the states, young teens, I bring them to my base, bad bitches out looking for my mates; I never say never, ANA SHEIKH, baby if you want bad treasure, call the sheikh, everybody wanna look like the sheikh (true), but they don't have my money, ANA SHEIKH (REPEAT), I can buy anything I want, bitch, ANA SHEIKH, I can buy anyone that I want, ANA SHEIKH".
It turns black and white and then to colour, as he says, "my money bring me power". He then sprays black gold at the US Flag with a fire truck's pipe from a fire hydrant. He brings all the teens to his base (numbers mind you). Bad bitches (female dogs) are running, out looking for his mates. He then fires a flamethrower at the word NEVER. "Baby, if you want bad treasure". How on the nose should I make this? A male and female sex worker in skimpy clothing surrounded by drugs, alcohol, bacon, etc. give a 'come hither' look to the camera (while lying on their sides with their heads resting on their elbows and giving the come hither sign with their index finger). "Everybody wanna look like the sheikh, but they don't have my money, ANA SHEIKH". Fill up the screen with every baby, man, woman and child dressed up and looking like the sheikh (for reference see the 'Malkovitch Malkovitch' scene from the movie 'Being John Malkovitch'). And then cut back to him on the people he's sitting on, as he fires gold coins at the camera from a coin gun. And as he says that he can buy anyone that he wants, he fires gold coins into the mouths of people (suggestive isn'tit? More like banging people on the head with a sign that reads, "MESSAGE!", but that's rap, everyone, but not a wrap).
4: "You know I can have one wife, two wife, too many, three wife, four wife, too many, five wife, six wife, too many, too many, tooo mannnyyy". At every 'wife' he holds up a flag of (In order): US, NATO, EU, RUSSIA, CHINA, AU (African Union).
5: "OO LA LA! …" I can't transliterate the rest, but for the 'oo la la' part, it can be similar to the video, as he asks the audience to hold up (na na na na, it's thuh muthafuckin' D-O-DOUBLE G, Snoop Dogg!). And he continues his rap. You got something? I got nothing (although at the namr meh hu sheikh, namr meh hu sheikh, he just continues the hand gesture of 'making it rain', 'cept with monies in his hand, just to make it rain more).
6: Repeat last half of the 3rd sequence in concordance with the lyrics at the point.
7: "I'm a sheikh, sheikh, sheikh, big house in Marrakesh, you know I pay, pay, pay. If you try and fuck with me, you out of game, game, game. Them bottles in the club, they call my name, name, name".
"Big house in Marrakesh", he's sitting on his slaves again, and gestures with his open palms at the size of his house. "You know I pay, pay, pay". He makes it rain. "If you try and fuck with me, you out of game, game, game". What it says. He fires a gun off in a range, just missing the head of a trussed up human target.
8: He starts going crazy by repeating, ANA SHEIKH over and over again.
9: He's strapped into a chair and jolted with electricity as he stutters Imma sheikh over and over again (in concordance with the song).
10: And he's now out of the chair as he does some rich people antics (see the video where the Russian billionaire shows Colbert how he's one of the 100 people in the world who knows this particular expensive game).
11: "Dollar? Euro? Dirham? Dinar?" As he says this as he points to genuine printing presses of the currency (shipped from abroad of course).
12: Repeat 6.
13: "How much it cost for all your life to make you shut the fuck up? I'd like to pay you to shut the fuck up… thank you! ANA SHEIKH!"
He sits on his slave chair as he's speaking to representatives of amnesty international and Greenpeace. Then as the song winds down in staccato beats, the representatives are blown back dubstep style (see the music video of 'Equinox' by Skrillex, when the pedophile/kidnapper is blown back by the bass drop). As he points at them with a lit cigar as he says, "thank you".
END.
