Subject: Can anyone help me in finding Amazin Man by Idi Amin (really by John Bird)?
Written By: Banks on 09/22/07 at 8:03 am
Hi...
I am trying to find the song Amazin' Man by Idi Amin (actually it was sung by a guy acting as Idi Amin who's name is John Bird). If anyone has this as a wmv file of this song on their computer if they could possibly email it to me.
Even an mp3 file of this song would be okay, Id just have to try to work out how to convert it to a wmv file using media player.
The chorus of the song goes like this:
'Idi, Idi, Idi Amin
Most amazin' man, that's even been
He be General, de President, de king of the scene
Idi, Idi, Idi Amin'
Anyway...Thanks in advance.

Awsome!!!
Yes, my email address is:
hecklejecklelove@hotmail.com
I have other email address you could try:
pjb_3@hotmail.com
Im not sure if you know how to send a music file via email, but I assume it would be the same as sending a text file.
Thank you so much for offering...I cant wait to hear the song again!!!

Dude, you've gotta find a place to host it, even temporarily. I think a lot of us would love to hear it. This sounds like comedy gold. Doubly so if it's a parody of the original "Black Superman" by the Kinshasa Band. That's something so wrong it's gotta be right.

Yeah guys...This song is hilarious...But it isnt a parody of Black Superman (that is if your refering to the song about Mohummad Ali(Sp?).
The song makes fun of the infamous leader, and from what Ive read, he wasnt very pleased with it either.
Its hilarious....
unfortunately, for some reason when crazygreg sent it to me my hotmail-live wouldnt allow the atachment :(
