This is my version of YMCA by The Village People. I changed the lyrics a bit (hehe!!!) and called it, “Why I.S.A? ” by The Global Village People. Yes, we are the Global Village People. Click on the video, boost up the volume and sing! And dance if you need to! If you have any suggestion to change the lyrics, please do post at the comment.

And on the lighter-side, enjoy the video. I laughed when I see those guys (?), doing their steps. Like the part where the lead singer doing the marching movements and the rest doing the synchronized steps behind him. So corny! Anyway, it;s a fun song so just enjoy (Sorry, this video is no longer available - due to copyright. So I replaced it with this one with just the music. Anyway, all you need is the music to sing along))

The Global Village People would like to dedicate this remix-lyrics to RPK, The Hindraf Boys and all who are detained under the Internal Security Act. The nation is praying for you guys. And also praying for the abolishment of ISA.

Why I.S.A?

Rakyat, there’s no need to feel down.
I said, Rakyat, get yourself off the ground.
I said, Rakyat, ’cause we’re in a New Dawn
There’s a need, for-Re-for-ma-si

Anwar, there’s a place you can go.
 Putra-jaya, let the red carpet roll
You can, stay there, and I’m sure you will find
Many ways, to-bring-those-chan-ges

Let’s put an end to this, Vile I.S.A.
We had enough of this, Vile I.S.A
It’s evil and cruel, a Machiavellian tool
They can do, what they feel

Hear the people cry, Why I.S.A?
In this land we loved, Why I.S.A?
You can set people free, Kamunting we don’t need
 So Abolish - The ISA

Rakyat, are you listening to me?
I said, Rakyat, what do you want to be?
I said, Rakyat, you can make real your dreams
But you got, to-know-this-one-thing!
 
No man, does it all by himself.
I said, Rakyat, don’t put your rights on the shelf
And just stand up, against this draconian law
Let us free, Ma-lay-sia-to-day

Let’s put an end to this, Vile I.S.A.
We had enough of this, Vile I.S.A
It’s evil and cruel, a Machiavellian tool
They can do, what they feel

Hear the people cry, Why I.S.A?
In this land we loved, Why I.S.A?
You can set people free, Kamunting we don’t need
So Abolish - The ISA

Rakyat, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was, down and out with the Blue.
I felt no man, cared if I were alive.
I felt my whole-world-has-no-rights …

That’s when, someone came up to me,
And said, Yo! man, know and fight for what’s right
And just say no, to the Foul ISA
We don’t need, this-trash-to-feel-safe

Let’s put an end to this, Vile I.S.A.
We had enough of this, Vile I.S.A
It’s evil and cruel, a Machiavellian tool
They can do, what they feel

No I.S.A!
We had enough of it, No I.S.A!
Rakyat, Rakyat, are you listening to me?
Rakyat, Rakyat, let me hear you sing

No I.S.A!
Everybody sing, No I.S.A!
Rakyat, Rakyat, you can set yourself free
Rakyat, Rakyat, that’s how it’s gonna be

(Lyrics re-written By DanielYKL)
