Adam Sandler's song: the Malagasy version

The video above is the “Happy Chanukah” song written by Adam Sandler where he lists all the Jewish celebrities in show-business. The song is catchy and a lot of fun to sing when you are a bit tipsy. In fact, we made our own version to celebrate our good friend Channakah’s origins on his birthday (He is from Sri Lanka and I will spare you the disastrous lyrics we came up with).

Since I had a little too much to drink last night, I figure I will come up with another version that celebrates the semi-celebrities that are somewhat linked to Madagascar.

The song does not make sense at all if (your mind is clear and) you have not listened to the Sandler's song beforehand. Either way, you will probably want the 2 mins of your life you spent reading his and for that, I apologize. The lesson here: if you look for "food for thoughts", you came to the wrong place. For total nonsense, please grab a chair and make yourself at home. ( Oh, and if you know other hidden Malagasy in show-biz, I'd love to the info)
So here goes, to the tune of Adam Sandler’s song (part II):


Chorus:
Andaho ihira isika oa,
Arabaina fa misy gasy ialahy,
So much fun oa,
No mitady gasy somary malaza,

When you feel like the only kid in town/
Who is from a far away country/
Here is a list of people who were born there as well/
Just like Mama Lisy/

Noemie Lenoir’s/
Mother was born in Tana,/
She is a top supermodel,
Just like Nemcova /

Laura Flasquel/
is also a model/
if you offer her tequila/
she will tell you veloma/

The best tennis player ever/
from our dear country/
Is Catherine Suire/
Not our national Dally/

Chorus:
Andaho ihira isika oa,
Arabaina fa misy gasy ialahy,
So much fun oa,
No mitady gasy somary malaza,


She is conquering NYC/
With her voice so raspy/
No one can tell where she is from/
But Razia Said is Malagasy/
(h/t to sipakv)

Sarkozy ?/
Not a Gasy/
But guess who was
former French PM Raymond Barre/
(correction: Barre ws born in La Reunion)

Urban legend says/
That Slash is ½ gasy/
But the guitarist from Guns and Roses/
Is more likely Israeli/
Chorus:
Andaho ihira isika oa,
Arabaina fa misy gasy ialahy,
So much fun oa,
No mitady gasy somary malaza,

Rabesandratana/
bet he's gasy/
Benarrivo ?/
I think not but
it sounds like he might be/

Les surfs/
sure they are gasy/
But Guess what ?/
So is Donne Roberts/

Chorus:
Andaho ihira isika oa,
Arabaina fa misy gasy ialahy,
So much fun oa,
No mitady gasy malaza oa,
