UnTunes:Sunni and Shia
Sunni and Shia are the longest running double act in the Middle East. Their on-off romance has fascinated the region for over eight hundred years but despite being inseparable at first, they drifted apart. 1980's gigs in both Lebanon and Iraq gave hope of seeing the two together more frequently, but a more recent performance in Bahrain suggests that their love-hate relationship is still fractious. Observers say that there is little prospect of them reforming as a genuine couple.
Fans are left to lament their passing as a couple. But they still have Sunni and Shia's best know hit, "I got you, Zebb"[1], to remind them of the magical chemistry that once existed between these two giants of the Islamic music industry.
I got you, Zebb[edit]
SHIA: I’ve got a bomb and you don't know
Won't find out until it blows
SUNNI: Well, I don't know if all that's true
But I shot your Mom, and Shia I’ll shoot you
SUNNI: Zebb
BOTH: I‘ll kill you, Zebb
I’ll kill you, Zebb
SHIA: They say our hatred’s just insane
But I get off on watching you in pain.
SUNNI: I guess that's so but don’t make a fuss
I’ll go to paradise when you detonate my bus
SUNNI: Zebb
BOTH: I’ll kill you, Zebb
I’ll kill you, Zebb
SUNNI: I was trained by the Taliban
You get your weapons from Iran
SHIA: You burned my home in old Baghdad
I killed your Gran on my Jihad
SHIA: Don't you say Shariah's wrong
There ain't no suq or market I can't bomb
SUNNI: Well, I don't care for Hezbollah's cash
We're taking over with Hamas
SUNNI: Zebb
BOTH: I’ll kill you, Zebb
I’ll kill you, Zebb
SHIA: I got rocks, to stone your wife
SUNNI: I got bullets, to end your life
SHIA: I got your son, to beat and flog
SUNNI: I’ll use your corpse to feed my dog
SHIA: I piss on you, you filthy swine
SUNNI: I’ll smear my shit [2] upon your shrine
SHIA: I'll send poison to your Imam
SUNNI: I'll kidnap yours and feed him ham
BOTH: I hate Jews, Zebb
I hate Jews, Zebb
I hate Jews, Zebb
I hate Jews, Zebb
Let's kill Jews, Zebb
