Official Geo T20 World Cup Song

[Salman]

Geo's cricket song for the T20 World Cup, comments?

Hello, My name is Ali. I manage a band called Azal, we have recently done a song for T20 Cricket WC, here is the link for the video it would be great if it can be featured on one of the biggest pakistani cricket fan website and to add into your information this song has been selected to be official GEO SUPER T20 song. It is heavily playing on air on GEO super currently at the moment.

[talal12345]

Not really feeling this. No "oomph" factor.

[Salman]

Is hard rock really the big thing in Pakistan these days?

there's only so much urdu head banging i can take.

[Boi]

'Jab APUN ki baari aye gi..' What the flip?!

[ItsMeK1]

Pathetic Song ..... AZAL come on guys I thought you will be the next big thing after EP when I heard your "Aisi Taisi" track

[azfar wali]

I found this to be a pretty good song, Not the best ever but definitely not the worst either

[Amir]

Song was kinda crap but at least this video focused on the cricket and not some group of guys drinking Pepsi.

[Poison]

Actually sounds ok. I approve.

[ShehryarK]

Poor song, worse video. Not enough cricket in the video, and far too much of fat blokes with girly hair and poor dress sense.

[Paradox]

Totally agree with Shehryar. Pakistan doesn't need a hard-rock song for their cricket campaigns, motivational songs are the best. Hum Se Hai Yeh Zamana by Call was the BEST. I also loved how our own Usman Chadda made an amazing, amazing video montage of it.

This song is poor.

[AZ]

The genre of the song is not important, it's the quality that counts...and this was pathetic.

I agree.
Its really stupid.

"Jab apun ki baari aayegi saari duniya hil jaegi".WTH??

[Genghis]

Jab apun ki bari ayegi ... what are we playing gali cricket or something??? The lyrics and the song just don't do it for me.

Maybe might get a feel for it after listening to it many many more times, but nah!

[AZ]

bunch of meylaas signing like Indians...this is supposed to be our official song?! DISGUSTING!

[Radiance Of Australis]

They should bring back the Humse Hai Yeh Zamana song(and Usman Chadda's video .That may be old but a hundred times better than this $#!+.

[Salman]

The guy in the blue jacket is a master at the air guitar it seems!


I miss the 90's!

[Radiance Of Australis]

Guys,dil khol ke comments do,acchhay aur buray.Kyun k Azal shayad yeh parh rahay hain

[Syed Ali Imran]

Yes, we are reading this and to add into your information, We are loving it the negative energy coming out of you guys, Indian? blah! My friend, if any one of you is in Karachi who is commenting this is Apun is out of Indian/Hindi slang. he/she should pm me and i will take that person to such localities here in Karachi who are using these slang in their normal life.
such as:
Marwari
Kathwari Memon

If you be in Karachi this is the common street lang.

Anyway,
We are really Sorry but we cannot make songs like Hum se hai zamana(may be because we cant). The only point behind this song is to get the maximum energy out of it and I guess we are doing justice with it.

As far as looks are concerned, Sorry we aint no Atif aslam/Ali zafar. We are not pretty at all but at least all of us are pro musicians. We do know our scales very well!

We are not trying to make yet another Jazba Junoon/Hum say hai Zamana/Badal do Zamanay ko.

We did what we did it in Aisi taisi and to add into your surprise, We wont stop. We will bring it more and more like these kind of songs. Yes this is all about what happens on Streets of Karachi while playing Cricket in tiny small galis of ours. We have been grown up playing cricket day and night in these so called GALI's we love where we are coming from. All of us are from Karachi and we have seen all in and outs, good and bad of this city so we are giving it back.

and unfortunately yes this is GEO's Official anthem for T20 WC and rest of the series coming up in near future

Aur koi hai? Tu samnay aye! Hum sawalon se nai dartay aur na hi chuptey hai.

I would like to end my post here with (Try to appericiate the effort we did this from our own pockets for the love of the game and Pakistan. We didnt dragged down Pepsi or any other major sponsor and bagged millions in our pocket and made a song which they cant even sing it properly)

Cheers.
Azal (Maelay, Indian wanabees or whatsoever you tag us with but you cant stop us from making these kind of songs because these songs are right from the heart and we love the game and our team as much as you do or may be more than that)

[AZ]

we can't stop you, but it doesn't mean we have to like you either!

[Syed Ali Imran]

Understandable, each and everyone out there is entitled to his/her opinion but at least do not insult us!

If you cant appreciate the effort then dont insult!

Comment on our product, not on how do we look or how should we dress like, if we would have been super good looking, would have made it a difference in your opinion/point of view?

[AZ]

if you can't handle the criticism, then best you get out of the business right now...but yes you're right, no need for insults, I apologise for it.

[Syed Ali Imran]

Critics are the best source of inspiration my friend for artists. criticism is more than welcome. be it negative but we are getting noticed. I was just trying to say there is no point of insulting us on how do we look.

[karachiite]

I quite like the song to be honest. I can't see why people think its lacking in Josh or Jazba. I can understand if its a bit too "heavy" for some people's liking but the video links in quite nicely with the song. I grew up on the streets of Karachi so i quite liked the lingo. Especially like the line about "galli ki katri". Reminded me of the hundreds of tape-ball night mathces i played in my galli when I was too young to hit it straight over the boundary and used to rely on that "katri". Well dont guys!!!

[Disco_Lemonade]

Not the worse song i've heard. This song had shades of their previous hit single Aisi Taisi.

I like the genre, i like the idea, but yes, i live in karachi and although some people do use words like Apun wagera here, most of the Pakistanis dont really approve it as their own. Karachi/Lahore has its own street language, we just dont want an indianized version of it, probably in future this will help you.

If we go on to win it again this time, everyone will remember it, wether they like it or not

Thanks for posting your comments on PP Syed , in what capacity are you linked to this band?

[Radiance Of Australis]

First of all,congrats on getting this song as the official Geo song

Yes, we are reading this and to add into your information, We are loving it the negative energy coming out of you guys, Indian? blah!

I dont think so. Apun is a cheap slang if it is.

Anyway, We are really Sorry but we cannot make songs like Hum se hai zamana(may be because we cant). The only point behind this song is to get the maximum energy out of it and I guess we are doing justice with it.

I'm not saying you should make a song like Hum Se hai yeh zamana

As far as looks are concerned, Sorry we aint no Atif aslam/Ali zafar. We are not pretty at all but at least all of us are pro musicians. We do know our scales very well!

well the guy in the blue could look very good if had a haircut you know

I would like to end my post here with (Try to appericiate the effort we did this from our own pockets for the love of the game and Pakistan. We didnt dragged down Pepsi or any other major sponsor and bagged millions in our pocket and made a song which they cant even sing it properly)

Thats very very wrong thing to say. We were the ones who wrote negative stuff about you,not Call the band.Call's got wonderful singers Xulfi and Junaid and you should not write stuff about them when they are actually more successful than you.
And you're talking about the singing,well you guys are not exactly Ali Azmat yourselves either .

Cheers. Azal (Maelay, Indian wanabees or whatsoever you tag us with but you cant stop us from making these kind of songs because these songs are right from the heart and we love the game and our team as much as you do or may be more than that)

No one's stopping you.Its pure criticism and your hair looks wannabe issliye maybe they're calling you wannabes

Understandable, each and everyone out there is entitled to his/her opinion but at least do not insult us! If you cant appreciate the effort then dont insult! Comment on our product, not on how do we look or how should we dress like, if we would have been super good looking, would have made it a difference in your opinion/point of view?

You're song is criticized because
1.People were expecting something along the likes of Jazba Junoon/Dil Dil Pakistan/Humse Hai Yeh Zamana
2.The "apun" factor
3.Weak lyrics
3.You guys are not famous(they were thinking of big names) and thus whatever you do in this video is labelled as wannabe.
4.The style of the song seemed too wannabe gunda-type.

Anyway the genre is fine though.

[AZ]

agree about the bolded part, it seems Syed sahab is having a dig at Call, who are a simply brilliant band...and to see that he stated 'please criticise us, not insult us.'

you guys are doing a great job.. . dont take criticism posted on pakpassion seriously.. the posters on here are mostly from the west who probably do not understand the language and the Pakistani team their only link to the country.. The Pakistanis in Pakistan who are your target audience enjoys your music.. keep up the good work.. lets hope your song is played till the end like last year..

and you're basing this assumption on what exactly? just because they live somewhere other than Pakistan does not mean they don't have strong links to the motherland.

[madaboutlfc]

I know this from my personal experience.. A lot of Pakistanis in England who support Pakistan have probably not been to Pakistan more than 5 or 6 times at best.

[AZ]

ah yes, your personal experience, the great deciding factor in the universe...I actually thought you might have a proper reply.

[madaboutlfc]

Originally Posted by Ahmed Zulfiqar ah yes, your personal experience, the great deciding factor in the universe...I actually thought you might have a proper reply.

yea it is a proper reply.. I think if we even ask the mods who are based in Britain they would would concur when I say that for a 20 yr residing in British Born Pakistani 4-5 is the most he/she would have visited Pakistan. Oxy, Geordie et al would concur when I say taking your family to Pakistan is an expensive sojourn. The Pakistani team is sometimes the only link to the country for most.

For the record I don't think your song is too bad, I actually like it. And the comments on your band's appearance as such are out of order.

not being able to go to Pakistan on a regular basis does not equate to having weak links to your home country...and I'm sure most if not all have family there who they would have interacted with at some time or the other...you're making it sound like Pakistan is some far off island that is completely alien to non-resident Pakistanis, and that the song this band has created can only appeal to the 'islanders'.

[madaboutlfc]

exactly.. I actually find the comments on looks,fashion etc repulsive and anyway fashion sense was never the criteria for a songs success.. If it was we probably would be listening to choir singers instead of led zeppelin, who, aerosmith etc

Pakistan is not the home country.. Why do you not understand that.. Its the country of origin of parents or grandparents.

that

anything
or
care
about
Pakistan

[madaboutlfc]

It does mean that they dont know anything about Pakistan apart from what they read in the media.. They may as well care about Pakistan but there is a big difference in the thought processes..

[iRfaN_LA]

extremely pathetic song. GEO has gone nuts recently. There is no motivation in the song (like jazba junoon), lyrics are poor and the hard rock and crazy singers make it worse. There is no "Pakistaniyat" in this song.

I find to be a great song To be honest, really like the parts where the slangs are used, This song IMO is better than Badal do Zamana.

[Paradox]

Just wanted to bump this thread - I really really disliked this song before, just decided to listen to it again and I think it's pretty good. Maybe it's because I'm in the mood for hard rock, or maybe I'm just pumped up about Pakistan and the T20 World Cup, but yeah.

Syed Ali Imran, could you upload the HQ MP3 (320kbps) of this up somewhere for me to download? would love to put this in my iPod. Thanks

[Adeel786]

catchy tune. Good job guys

Wow I agree with you there.
"We Will Rock The World" is terrible.This one is atleast better.

But the guy in the blue is still a terrible singer and the apun thing annoys me a lot.

[GLORY OF '92]

Song is decent enough but there is not enough of the cricket shown.

[amar1212]

wow that was bad

[eViLrAcEr]

agay se dobara koi reply hi nai ayi =D

@Azal: Personally, I did not like the slow parts, which made it seem as if the singer was drunk (no offence)

[pakcricketfan]

It's not the worst song that I've heard..Believe me, I've heard songs worse than that.

But having said that, I expected a better song by Azal. I like some of their songs and particularly like ET...but this song is certainly not one of their better ones. The word "apun" really doesn't sound good in the song..and secondly, I didn't like the part where ET's singing as if he's drunk!
