Listeners create hilarious parody song to Maroon 5's 'I Don't Wanna Know'

If there is one thing we love, it has to be a good parody song. Using a famous, more well-known melody, and adding one's of flair and creativity to it is what make parody songs so popular. 

Ampie du Preez is no stranger to the music industry. In 2010 he collaborated with South African cricketer AB de Villiers on their debut album, Maak Jou Drome Waar. Recently he performed the track 'Saamstaan' at rugby legend, Joost van der Westhuizen's memorial. 

Using the theme 'SASSA mess', we teamed up with musician Ampie du Preez, and with the help of our listeners, we created a hot song. The SASSA grant has been the talk of the town lately and we thought that it would be the perfect theme for our parody song. 

Lyrics: 'SASSA! We Wanna Know' 

CHORUS

I wanna know, know, know, know

Who’s taking the dough dough dough dough

Disliking this so so so so

The way they screwed this up you know

I wanna know, know, know, know

Why they’re taking so slow slow slow slow

Disliking this so so so so

Send them home, no pay you know

We do wanna know

VERSE

SASSA

And the more they drink, the more we sink, astound you

Oh no, We can’t take it

Baby, every place we go reminds us of it

PRE CHORUS

Do they think of us

Of what we really need

Will it be better now, CPS around

It’s a bloody shame

Bathabile destroyed her name

Are you happy now

Are you happy now

Take a listen to the song below.
