Growing up in Lebanon has always been an exotic experience. From your over-friendly or overly-aggressive relatives, to the street-side barbecues and random outbreaks of dabke routines in family dinners. Not to mention raw meat and arak breakfasts wearing a ripped white flannel top.
Let’s take a trip down memory lane, and go over some of the tunes that defined our childhood in Lebanon. You might be too old/young for some of the entries. Feel free to share in the comments which songs remind you of your childhood.
Captain Majed (Intro Song)
Who doesn’t remember the guy we all tried to imitate at one point in our childhood? Some of us broke their back trying to do that damn double kick, and others embarrassed themselves by trying to rock a Captain Majed hairdo.. ending up with an 80s ‘Alaa Zalzali’ mullet.
You recognize the stadium that spans over half the globe or the banana-shaped ball more than the actual intro song though. Worry not, we’re here to refresh your memory.
Kif w laysh (Intro Song)
“Keef w Leish, ana baddi ifham?” The reason we all brush our teeth on a daily basis.
P.S. That Kousa the girl is eating for lunch is damn delicious.
Pokemon (Intro Song)
If you didn’t sing this song on top of your lungs every time it was on, did you really live your childhood? It’s not just one of the greatest cartoon songs, it’s one of the greatest songs of all time. EVER.
Mini Studio – Sucette
I was looking for the intro song but couldn’t find it anywhere. So here’s to your lollipop friend.
Belle et sebastien (Intro Song)
I just have a blurry memory of this cartoon. But I do remember that it was awesome.
Trois petits chats
How brilliant is this song? How brilliant is the animation? You dirty, dirty three little pussies.
Grendizer (Intro Song)
I was born a bit too late to remember Grendizer vividly. But I know how much it means for the guy that actually remembers the civil war.
Chantal Goya – Ce Matin
I think Chantal Goya is still touring. When we were kids, I remember being told she was a grandma. She must be a 100 years old now maybe?
Maria Mercedes (Intro Song)
A specific date plays a separating point here. Any person born before that date, belongs to the Maria Mercedes generation. Anyone born after it, belongs to the Rosalinda one (next entry).
Rosalinda (Intro Song)
I think Thalia should be given the Ordre National du Cèdre award.
Tele Liban – Aban 3an Jad
Ma elak Ella Haifa
Gassan Rahbani - 2000
Enrico Macias-Au Beirut
Georges Khabbaz - Massari Ma Fich
