| Shabaan Abdul Rahim discovers Sadam Hussainâs whereabouts |
| 2003-04-25 |
| Worth checking the link just for the picture of this guy. I think he works for Cairo DPW... Egyptian singer Shabaan Abdul Rahim announced that he has discovered the whereabouts of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussain and intends on revealing it in his upcoming song âSaddam Oh Saddamâ. The singer will be recording the song in the next upcoming days, which he claims holds facts about Saddamâs hiding place proving that he is still alive and was not killed during the US bombing of Iraq. Hey! He should team up with Naomi Campbell! According to the UAE based daily, writer of the song Islam Khalil, who also wrote Shabaanâs previous song âDarb Al Iraqâ (Bombing of Iraq), claimed that before releasing the first song about the war in Iraq, he had predicted the events that occurred. He also claimed that he has solid evidence which will be revealed in the song that will help capture Saddam. Hey! Hey should team up with Naomi Campbell! Previously, the folk singer expressed his joy at being considered the number one political singer in Egypt and around the Arab world. Shabaanâs new title came after the success of his latest hit single âHanzaâ Al Silahâ (Iâm Going to Take out My Weapon). EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW! Shabaan called on all Arabs to unite and support Iraq against Western tyranny. The singer also revealed that he is currently the number one singer and actor in Egypt. Shabaan said that he is in competition with Egyptian singer Amr Diab for the number one spot in the music industry and his second rival is Egyptian singer Hisham Abbas. Do I see some kind of Egyptian Rap Gang War on the horizon? Shabaanâs popularity came after his hit single "Ana Bakrah Israel" (I hate Israel) two years ago recording a major success in the market of Cairo and beyond, replacing the typical love songs that people used to listen to. The inspiration of the song was sparked after the eruption of the Palestinian uprising (Intifada) in September 2000. His song emerged at a critical time where cultural, political, and social factors all came together in a timely fashion. And a star was born! Maybe Casey Kasem will get him an in over here... An illiterate from a small village, and an unknown singer for over twenty years, Shaaban's singing career has catapulted with live performances at weddings, private parties, and social occasions. What? No barmitzfas? |

| #2 Saddam was killed. BUT, Naomi's intelligence sources have revealed to me that Saddam Hussein is on the road towards reincarnation and is now serving an apprenticeship as one of Shirley MacLaine's past lives, moving into a spot once occupied by an unnamed "Moorish girl who tended the sick on the Camino path." According the "black op gnomes" on Naomi's payroll, Saddam is royally pissed, both at his current place of employment and Shabaan's promise to make Saddam's link to the utterly insane MacLaine public. |

| #1 He's quite the little marketing genius. Good heavens, this ugly little sap even managed to get our attention. Perhaps Madonna and the Ditzy Chicks can hire him and see if he can think of something sooo outrageous that it will provide a shock wave strong enough to get their careers back off life support. Naahhh....anything more shocking than what they have attempted already would have to be fatal. |
