From the song
Ya Betou' El Kibar x Al Hob يا بتوع الكبار × الحب by SNX
A remix that pairs an Egyptian spoken-word sample with a house beat. The voice in the clip is a man talking, in a casual comic way, inviting the big ones to come and drink tea in the garden. He says it is up to him whether they sit with him, and up to them if they do not like it. There is a line about the world running on connections and favours, said with a grin. The single word for love is then chanted over and over, until it takes over from the speech. At one point he admits he likes to listen to strange things and would not listen to a long, strange song.
Deeper meaning
This one is a mash-up, so the meaning belongs to the sample as much as to the music. The spoken part is a wink at the way status and who-you-know decide things, and the producer sets it against a plain chant of love, as if love were the one thing that is not for sale. The result is a joke with a small ache under it.
