Republic of My Sexist Heart

First heard this song on a boat up in Tripoli.  I liked it a lot, the melody was catchy and it had a lot of energy.  Come to find out (after translating it in class) that it's about how women should not want to do anything more than 'be the president of their man's heart'.  There's been a big to-do in Lebanon about it, but despite that I heard it EVERYWHERE while I was there.

The music video makes it a little better, because it's a man talking about his daughter, but I still don't like the message.


But I might have it on my iPod.
