Little Drummer Boy
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum, When we come.
Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum, On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.
VERY,
VERY FUNKY, SLINKY COOL!! Some scenes of their award-winning film
SLEEPWALKING ON THE MEKONG by the amazing John Pirozzi were filmed from my old apartment on
Sisowath Quay. I had the privilege to attend the premiere at the Museum of Modern Arts
in Manhattan in 2007.

One thing for sure about Dengue Fever’s slinky cover of the 72-year-old classic “Little Drummer Boy” — pa rum pum pum pum is pa rum pum pum pum in any language. The song is the latest wrinkle from the one-of-a-kind, L.A.-based sextet whose fusion of psychedelic rock, Cambodian surf-pop and Afro-beat music has won them worldwide acclaim. On “Little Drummer Boy,” you don’t need a Khmer translator to hear the pleading innocence in Cambodian singer Chhom Nimol’s vocals, and there’s something celebratory in the tasty horns from David Ralicke. “We wanted to put a spin on something familiar,” drummer Paul Smith says of the song. “Using Nimol’s voice instantly adds a new dimension to the track, so we just kind of turn downed the lights and went for one, really. The song had room for David Ralicke to do what he does best, and so the horns definitely brought a certain weight to it all.” Dengue Fever, comprised of Nimol, Smith and Ralicke along with Senon Williams and brothers Zac and Ethan Holtzman, earlier this month unveiled a “Girl From the North” on their own newly launched Tuk Tuk Records — three songs that solidify their place as one of the most distinctive bands around.

ជូនចំពោះ លោកសមរង្ស៊ី ក្នុងនាមជាអ្នកការពារ
ទឹកដី ជាតិ សាសនា ចាប់តាំងពីពេលនេះទៅ
បើមានគេចាប់អ្នកបាត្តុកម្មណាម្នាក់ចូលគុគ យើងត្រូវ
តែនាំគ្នាចូលគុគទាំងអស់គ្នា ព្រោះយើងមិនអាចឲ្យ
ជន់ក្បត់ជាតិណាម្នាក់ ជិះជាន់អ្នកស្នេហាជាតិបាន
ឡើយ។
សូមអរគុណ!
