Iraqi Song For Dogs

Other than the purely Iraqi dance in this music video, the good tune, this would have been an average song. I guess the Arabic word is Kalib, the one for heart is Qalib, sometimes people utter them differently based on their region and their heritage. Some old timers say Kalib for heart for example.

So with that in mind, this Iraqi songs would sound like the singer is making a "Who Let the Dogs Out" Arabic version, but he is not. He is just saying my hear, my heart, like a lover knows. But on second thoughts, there is a cat in the music video, and the singer makes the sound one makes when trying to get a cat to draw closer.

The singer is young Iraqi talent Mohammad Al Salem, who from the looks of things have a good taste of sunglasses and high school girls whom he hired to appear in this music video with him dancing the traditional Iraqi dance. One thing, the singer seems not to be able to make up his mind about his loved one, he just wants to hang out with all the ladies, but in the song he shamed his loved one for leaving him.
