About :

hello friends of the music community, best wishes to all of us and always be grateful to God Almighty for this health so that we can continue to meet in this community continuously.
I'm @samuelstifen and always with my guitar called blue.
For today's performance that I performed to practice this song, it took quite a long time, because this song uses power chords, and the beat tempo of this song is fast, even though it took a long time for me to finally finish it to the best of my ability. Even though my friends saw it there, I made a mistake, hopefully that mistake can be a lesson for me.

and for the song I performed, this song is called Pretty Fly(for a white guy)which was popularized by the band, the offspring.
The Offspring is a punk band from Orange County, southern California. However, the Off Spring band also has other musical genres such as punk rock, skate punk, pop punk, alternative rock, ska punk, post grunge and hardcore punk in its early days.
This band was active or formed in 1984.

Honestly, for me, the Offspring band's song is really nice to listen to, even though I previously posted an Offspring song entitled Self Esteem, but I don't get bored of playing Off Spring songs anymore, because the songs make me enthusiastic.
Hopefully friends who see this, we can become fans of the band's descendants.

Fly is a slang term for "cool", and the song refers to young people who want to become gangsters as a trendy song. Guitarist Noodle explained to Kerrang! : "It's about a kid who tries to hang out with cool gangsters and doesn't succeed. He really makes a fool of himself. It's about a guy who wants to be cool."

and it turns out this song has facts behind it, l.
Hereditary frontman Dexter Holland elaborated in an interview with the Colorado Springs Independent. “I've always thought of 'fly' as a word that white people have co-opted from the black world, since the days of Superfly and other blaxploitation films,” he explains. “Once it was taken over by white culture, it was the opposite of a fly, right? I know some people will pick up on the fact that the song upsets certain people. And I think the people who think it's about them will think it's cool and like it. Even if they don't understand that the joke is on them."

It seems like the fact of this song is at odds with race, between white and black differences. The truth about this song is for white men,It's not that I feel clever in conveying the facts from this song, but I want to convey a little about what we have to go through as fellow humans.
It seems like we have heard about SARA issues quite often, in my country there is always bullying because of SARA issues, my message is let us hug each other and support each other, care for each other, how long do we have to be enemies. because of the skin, actually we are brothers created by God to love and help each other.
Should we continue fighting because of race? Isn't that way we can look cool because we are of white descent, and look dashing from black descent, it's not just about being cool and dashing, but in the world we live in only once it's all about concern and good deeds for fellow human beings.
so let us take care of each other and respect each other.
I once heard a message from a singer from my country, he said, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT BLOOD, BUT WE ARE STILL BROTHERS.
So from the message I gave for my song and presentation, I hope we can care for each other and still respect each other, and I hope friends can draw positive conclusions from the song I performed and my presentation.

LYRICH-PRETTY FLY(FOR A WHITE GUY)
Give it to me baby uh huh uh huh
Give it to me baby uh huh uh huh
Give it to me baby uh huh uh huh

And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seís

You know it's kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks well he makes up in denial

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
Hey, hey, do that brand new thing!

Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh

And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy
He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice, they're gonna kick his lily ass!

Now he's getting a tattoo yeah, he's getting ink done
He asked for a 13, but they drew a 31
Friends say he's trying too hard and he's not quite hip
But in his own mind he's the, he's the dopest trip

Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seís

I put the original song's YouTube channel here, I hope friends enjoy the song.

and that's all I can give for today, if my appearance is not good and my presentation is not interesting, I will use it as a lesson for me to be better.
and thank you to my friends who continue to support me in my work and I hope you enjoy my presentation today, see you next week.
I say thank you, God always blesses us.
