The Young Savages - Kotek Kotek/Tjelana Djenki


Whilst recording a new batch of records for the upcoming weeks I am posting another 7inch today.
It's a 45 by The Young Savages.
I bought this at one of the biggest record fairs of Holland. So unlike the previous records I've posted I didn't really stumbled upon it.
Nonetheless definitely worth posting it!
The songs on both sides are Indo-rock.
Kotek Kotek is a big hit ;)
When my brother and I first heard this song when we where young it made us laugh hard :D We had no idea what they were saying but it sounded so funny to us.
Now I understand a bit and I also understand why it made us laugh.
The song is originally a childrens song and they are singing something like "the chicken (ayam) says..Kotek Kotek.." It's a simple tune. So I guess our instinct was okay.
The Indo-rock version of The Young Savages is very nice! And like the version I heard when I was a kid it still makes me smile. A cheerful tune!
The b-side Tjelana Djenki is also great, which makes this 45 absolutely worth having.

Have fun listening!
