Gosip Jalanan by Slank
Apr 11th, 2008, in Celebrities, by PatungThe lyrics and music of Slank’s song “Gosip Jalanan” (Word on the Street).
Slank, in the jungle.
Slank’s “controversial” ditty “Gossip Jalanan”, which, because of the second last verse, had parliamentarians in Jakarta threatening to sue him for besmirching the good name of the DPR. They dropped their plans after the arrest of Al Amin Nur Nasution.
Listen to the mp3:
[audio:slank-gosip-jalanan.mp3]
The lyrics:
Pernah kah lo denger mafia judi
Katanya banyak uang suap polisi
Tentara jadi pengawal pribadiApa lo tau mafia narkoba
Keluar masuk jadi bandar di penjara
Terhukum mati tapi bisa ditundaSiapa yang tau mafia selangkangan
Tempatnya lendir-lendir berceceran
Uang jutaan bisa dapat perawan
Kacau balau 2X negaraku iniAda yang tau mafia peradilan
Tangan kanan hukum di kiri pidana
Dikasih uang habis perkaraApa bener ada mafia pemilu
Entah gaptek apa manipulasi data
Ujungnya beli suara rakyatMau tau gak mafia di senayan
Kerjanya tukang buat peraturan
Bikin UUD ujung-ujungnya duitPernahkah gak denger teriakan Allahu Akbar
Pake peci tapi kelakuan barbar
Ngerusakin bar orang ditampar-tampar

This is something that everybody in this country knows:
“Mau tau gak mafia di senayan
Kerjanya tukang buat peraturan
Bikin UUD ujung-ujungnya duit”The fact that there is a common mocking on UUD (supposedly Undang Undang Dasar or Constitution) as Ujung-Ujungnya Duit (it’s all about money) HAS IN FACT proven that Slank represents majority of the people’s opinion – and with the House being mad IS ridiculous.

My favorite Slank song (the harmonica lick is sexy), so it was quite a surprise when they wanted to sue the band because of the song. Come on, it’s not like it’s new.

Ah, DPR is over reacting by trying to sue Slank for their song. But, DPR cancel the plan, right?

Roy says:
Hay slank , that is a good lyric.
Slank I Love You.
Go to hell DPR.
DPR should look indonesian people. -
And the fact that the DPR wanted to sue or even considered suing is undoubtedly a boon for album sales!
Crticism and media coverage broadens the audience and introduces people to the music of Slank who might have never heard it but for this song!
UUD — ujung ujung duit is an old joke and has done the rounds before! Perhaps the DPR dropped the plans to sue because after they took legal advice they realized that they would have to prove that there was no overlap between money and politics! The recent and not so recent scandals would suggest that the overlap is real and it is there…
The current Governor of Bank Indonesia is subject to an inquiry relating to just one such overlap!

may be FPI and another muslim organization need to realize that what they do is wrong… not right to use mass power in a rough/ coarse way.
this country have police/army. we dont need you to kill or slap (tampar) poeple.
we need you to teach poeple about islam. that kind, gentle, have good reputation and full of love. -

All slank’s song is real from the reality, the content so nature from what was happening in this country… and the rule in this country so weak… not stronger from the war victim.
I like this song. -
Maura says:
I adore this song!
It’s so true and I give a lot of props and love to Slank for having the guts to pen it!
I’m not at all surprised that members of the DPR decided to sue..
Hey, if they win, they’re getting more money right?
(Because money from UUD obviously doesn’t suffice…)The only reason (in my opinion) they decided not to go on with suing Slank was that they had a rare intelligent thought that told them that if they sue Slank they would prove the lyrics of ‘Gossip Jalanan’ right.
And so they crawled back into their little holes and brooded and cursed together.MORE POWER TO SLANK!!!

Didn’t Pak Ahmad Sudarsono tell you. Sooner or later, he will come around.
Let’s not be too harsh on this fellow. Afterall he tried hard to assimilate.
@ schmerly [sic]
Yes and Yes, Good on ya!! Slank!!

@ AAB.. Do you write these ramblings when your drunk? because they’re not the sort of thing a sober person would normally write, unless of course your mentally retarded, which is it?
-
@ Schmerly
Yes and Yes and Yes, Good on ya!! Slank!!

Another pissed up retard.

No need to be rude to people who are agreeing with you, if you cannot be civil, take that foul mouth and undersized brain off to some expat blog and discharge your bile there.
You are behaving just like a new recruit expat, demanding that and complaining about this – in fact I’d go as far as to say that you are an insult to buledom. People tend to judge new expats on the actions of existing expats, and notwithstanding that you are just a “213” visitor, please have a care for those who may visit Indonesia and who are capable of carrying out a sensible dialogue.
Thanks.
