The despot of SA has no pride and no shame. They destroy entire cities, bulldoze whole landscapes and displace the population so pictures of the mistreated country get more likes on Insta. Fucking disgusting.

Quick reminder that Hans Zimmer is a transphobic sack of shit.
King enters a room
BWAAAAAAAAAA
Saudi Arabia wins an Olympic medal
BWAAAAAAAAAA
New Years fireworks in Riyadh

How do you call it if orientalised arabian music like in Dune gets to replace a real arab anthem? What a doomed country, without any pride.
They are truly the slop brained country of the arab world. Ironic a state build on traditionalism is the most western treatlerite country of them all.
The country and population have no say in what the king does.
It is natural conclusion of orientalization with cultural hegemony of West that the orientalized will adopt the orientalist perspectives. This is especially true for arbitrary and inauthentic attempts at culture like Saudi monarchy does with its pseudo-revivalism.
Hans Zimmer sucks so bad
Zimmer can jump in the too.
this is such a stupid timeline
If they took that guy from andor with synthwave stuff though just sad we don't have modern instruments in anthems, and saudis are gaudy enough to be first
Excited for the first guitar riff
wait, is there a single anthem which uses electric guitars even? smh
Thomas Sankara was a guitarist and also wrote the national anthem for Burkina Faso, that might be as close as we've gotten so far
What are the odds he farms it out to an intern like he does with most movies he scores?
didn't even do a lot of pirates of the carribean
intern nr. 10, you probably wonder what happened to interns nr.7-9, they apparently applied for a group tour in saudi embassy, and skipped on me. But i know, you, intern nr. 10, will strive for excellence slaps shoulder and locks door
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The ego on that desert Turkey. The Saudis have poured a lot of money into boxing and other sports. I follow boxing, and everyone has to kiss his ass, they all have to call him "his excellency" ugh
they don't have any ego though. In exchange for wasting money in the west, they get to do their semi-slavery and propagate retrograde attitudes. match made in hell tbh
