African Child
The comedy "Get him to the Greek" is a forgettable vehicle for Russell Brand, except for the spoof music video "African Child" opening the film.
A screen shot of the "African Child" video in "Get him to the Greek."
I haven’t seen Get Him to the Greek, the new film starring P. Diddy, Jonah Hill and Russell Brand ((IMDB: “a record company intern is hired to accompany out-of-control British rock star Aldous Snow to a concert at L.A.’s Greek Theater.”) but thanks to the twitterverse (Ht Texas in Africa), I ran across this video of the opening sequence of the film about The clip details the rise and fall of Brand’s character, rock star Aldous Snow, after he releases “an album and an accompanying single about problems in Africa called ‘African Child’.”
It comes with non-sensical lyrics like:
“I have crossed the mystic desert
To snap pictures of the poor
I’ve invited them to brunch
Let them crash out on my floor.
My kitchen’s filled with flies
I’m crying out in vain
Like a little African child.
Trapped in me
There’s an African child
Trapped in me
There’s a little African child trapped in me.”
