Today, at lunch, someone asked what Kenyan food is like. I listed: chicken, grilled cheese, potatoes, vegetables...and chapati (which is a little like pita bread).
This began a musical lunchtime. The goal was to come up with songs that contained words easily substituted for the word chapati.
I had to write them down...it was so funny.
"So tonight we'll eat chapati like it's 1999"
"You gotta fight...for your right...chapati"
"Don't be so quick to walk away. I wanna rock chapati, please stay"
"Everybody...eat chapati...everybody...rock chapati right"
"It's chapati and I'll cry if I want to"
"Throw chapati of the month? Nah, chapati of the year"
"We like chapati. We like. We like chapati"
"If you want chapati and you think I'm sexy, come on baby let me know"
"Welcome to chapati where the players play"
"Chapati didn't start 'til I walked in"
"Business up front, chapati in the back"
and my favorite...
"Chapati is a wonderland"
How many of these songs can you actually recognize?
