Hasa Diga Eebowai - The Book of Mormon (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[@jerodwolf5582]

Here's my daughter, she has a...wonderful disposition

[@ChristopherPaulBacon-m2l]

She's all I have left in this world. And if either of you lays a hand on her... I will give you my Aids.

[@athelise]

I was introduced to this song with no context whatsoever. My friend handed me the headphones and just watched my expression as I died to this song.

[@KathyTOEFLTeacherLessons]

That's hilarious

[@davidzhang2107]

Who's ur friend

[@calilovett2063]

I did the same with my sister. And my boyfriend. And my- actually, I like to do it with everybody.

[@johnjames5665]

Athelise T I did that to a friend too😂

[@mafeandres9784]

I share your experience that happened to me two days ago

[@jamesl.murphy2870]

I'm catholic and this is the hardest I have laughed at anything it is great

[@Matthew-qp7hw]

"Fuck you in the other eye" has to be the best lyric ever written.

[@xCaseylakes]

I can't agree with this comment more, it is just perfect.

[@thothheartmaat2833]

I'll give you my aids.... but I see what you're saying. Mason..

[@jbrisby]

I can't hear a doorbell anymore without thinking "My name is Elder Price...'

[@_.nateingale._]

same.

[@scottbrack9738]

Same here...saw the show 2 weeks ago and wife and I started singing "Hello" when we heard a ding dong sound over the Airport speaker.

[@conorseery986]

Even though I am a strong believer in god this song cracks me up "does it mean no worries for the rest of your days"

[@ScorchtheHawk]

Kinda

[@CelebrianUndomiel]

My super-religious mum: "Oh come on just tell me, what did they say??" Me: "......no"

[@Lolwutburger_LWB]

***** Really? She didn't hear the "Eebowai means god, and Hasa Diga means "Fuck you" so I guess in English it would be... Fuck you... god!"

[@Invisible-Rhino]

they are angry with the source of their misery - IE the greedy and unhelpful humans who ensure they don't get help

[@angeliquewestfall9773]

My half sister had a super religious mom. Sisters friend heard these songs and said "oh your mom would love this!" Sister "uh have you ever met my mom?!"

[@dane4422]

I love the way he says, "Kind of," like he's thinking, "Well, no, but I'm just going to let you religious people keep cursing out your own god because why not."

[@CaptainCostanza]

when he starts singing about his daughter it's simply stunning

[@angeliquewestfall9773]

Swayward my favorite part is "this is my daughter she has a.....wonderful disposition"

[@Annabelcool]

R rated hakuna manatana

[@EpsilonA789]

not really....Hasa Diga Ebowai isn't annoying

[@Laf92]

***** Hakuna Matata is awesome and yes its pretty much an R rated hakuna matata plus they clearly mention Hakuna Matata..clearly an inspiration

[@EpsilonA789]

longhorns13192 not really

[@Laf92]

***** yes really

[@jacobwoolf2010]

more like x tated

[@juliaerin1938]

This song accidentally played from my Broadway playlist on Easter....

[@thisaintit526]

OMG XD

[@allwellallgood5947]

that is disaster 😯

[@JohnSmith-mj4ni]

That is Amazing!

[@felixfelicias8317]

Julia C. Me Too!

[@Crlarl]

...Hasa diga eebowai!

[@Mike-hu6ch]

I love how the Mormons have complaints like, "The bus was late." So subtle you don't even really notice it, but it goes a long way to contrast the experience of the Mormons and the people they are trying to relate to.

[@bwweaver78]

Subtle? There's a lot of adjectives about this song, but "subtle" is about the last one I would use.

[@eastercat]

It's super obvious that there's a contrast. "If you don't like what we say, Try living here a couple a day. Watch all your friends and family die. HASA DIGA EEBOWAI"

[@Mike-hu6ch]

I'm saying the line "the bus was late" is subtle

[@Mike-hu6ch]

im not talking about the rest of the song

[@supekele]

***** That would be "you're" a moron.

[@BuddySweyzer]

This song deals with stuff like famine, drought, aids, female circumcision, baby molestation and lost luggage, but all people care about is the blasphemy.

[@FandomTrash1999]

Don't forget the crowded planes.

[@thothheartmaat2833]

God is so sad about his name being blasphemed he forgot about all this other shit..

[@firewilson8056]

I know it's African I also hear Caribbean beat and chorus. Congratulations on the beautiful music!

[@PianoDisneygal10]

"Does it mean 'no worries for the rest of your days'?" 😂😂😂 love it.

[@madelinestevens5085]

Saw this on Broadway last night couldn't stop smiling through the whole thing

[@Roniboney]

Saw this on the West End tonight Amazing show .would recommend to all

[@meredithliccione6056]

Thank you, Hasa Diga Eebowai, for always being here during midterm season

[@AlienatedCornea]

It's okay to hate and blame god sometimes. doesn't mean you lost your faith, just means life is shit and you're rightfully pissed.

[@Invisible-Rhino]

it just means you think god is some controlling entity who causes everything that happens in the world, XD

[@ethankemp8320]

I went to friend's house and heard this playing during dinner because they don't have a religion.

[@felixfelicias8317]

Oh SNAP! 😎

[@sarahfitzgerald801]

Ethan Kemp Oh my god 😂😂

[@Dreamerlovafirefly]

I'm gonna go to hell for loving this song lmao

[@JustChillaxinFilms]

I know right

[@KaylaJohnson1995]

Dreamerlovafirefly me too

[@allisonschoen403]

Same

[@Invisible-Rhino]

nah

[@1999hellboyable]

if you put "Hasa diga ebowai" into google translate it translates it to "Especially digestive eagles"

[@mollie-wankenobi8655]

I got especially the dolphin

[@neon.pink.productions]

I got "Hasa Say Eebowai" 🤷‍♀️ Then I tried translating that and just got the same thing...

[@DaryllHurst]

Just went to the Minneapolis touring show. It was very funny and enjoyable. Before I went to the show, this was my favorite number but I can tell you there are even better tunes later in the show.

[@ameliawright6947]

In this part of Africa, we all have a saying - whenever something bad happens, we just throw our hands up to the sky and say HASA DIGA EEBOWAI! [ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken] Hasa Diga Eebowai?[MAFALA. spoken] It's the only way to get through all these troubled times. There's war, poverty, famine... but having a saying makes it all seem better! (sung) There isn't enough food to eat Hasa Diga Eebowai! People are starving in the street! [UGANDANS, MAFALA] Hasa Diga Eebowai! Hasa Diga Eebowai! Hasa Diga Eebowai! [ELDER PRICE, spoken] Well, that's pretty neat! [ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken] Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days? [MAFALA, spoken] Kind of! (sung) We've had no rain in several days [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai![MAFALA] And 80% of us have AIDS [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai! [MAFALA] Many young girls here get Circumcised Their clits get cut right off [ALL] Way oh! [WOMEN] And so we say up to the sky [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai! Hasa Diga Eebowai! Hasa Diga Eebowai! Hasa Diga Eebowai! [MAFALA, spoken] Now you try! Just stand up tall, tilt your head to the sky, and list off all the bad things in your life! [ELDER CUNNINGHAM] Somebody took our luggage away! [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai! [ELDER PRICE] The plane was crowded And the bus was late! [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai! [MAFALA] When the world is getting you down There's nobody else to blame! [UGANDANS] Way oh! [MAFALA] Raise your middle finger to the sky And curse his rotten name! [ELDER PRICE, spoken] Wait, what?! [ELDER CUNNINGHAM] Hasa Diga Eebowai! [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai! [ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken] Am I saying it right? [ELDER PRICE, spoken] Excuse me sir, but what exactly does that phrase mean? [MAFALA, spoken] Well, lets see... "Eebowai" means "God". And "Hasa Diga" means... "Fuck You". So I guess in English it would be "Fuck you, God!" [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai! [ELDER PRICE, spoken] What?! [MAFALA] When God fucks you in the butt [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai! [MAFALA] Fuck God right back in his cunt! [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai! Fuck you, God! Hasa Diga Eebowai! Fuck you, God! [ELDER PRICE, spoken] Excuse me, Sir, but you should really not be saying that. Things aren't always as bad as they seem! [MAFALA, spoken] Oh really? Well take this fucking asshole, Mtumbo here. He got caught last week trying to rape a baby! [ELDER PRICE, spoken] What?! Why?! [MAFALA,spoken] Some people in his tribe believe having sex with a virgin will cure their AIDS. There aren't many virgins left, so some of them are turning to babies! [ELDER PRICE,spoken] But that's horrible! [MAFALA,spoken] I know! [UGANDANS] Hasa Diga Eebowai! [MAFALA] Here's the butcher, he has AIDS Here's the teacher, she has AIDS Here's the doctor, he has AIDS Here's my daughter, she has A Wonderful disposition She's all I have left in the world And if either of you lays a hand on her I will give you my AIDS! [UGANDANS] If you don't like what we say Try living here a couple days Watch all your friends and family die Hasa Diga Eebowai! (Fuck you!) Hasa Diga Eebowai! Fuck you God in the ass, mouth And cunt-a Fuck you God in the ass, mouth And cunt-a Fuck you God in the ass, mouth And cunt-a Fuck you in the eye! Hasa Diga Eebowai! Hasa Fuck you in the other eye! Fuck you! Fuck you God! Fuck you! Fuck you God! Fuck you! Fuck you God! Hasa Diga! Fuck you God! In the cunt!

[@raze9havoc649]

am I going to hell for laughing and singing along to it?

[@theangledsaxon6765]

+Rich Liv uhhhh that was a reference to the song.

[@raze9havoc649]

The Angledsaxon I know.lol

[@lillyyosua7969]

Just saw this show in Philly today and it was the best show I have ever seen it was amazing

[@IJVin]

If you can get past the lyrics from 3:36 to 3:53, that's some nice harmony.

[@catafinity]

That show was awesome. Saw in London in August last year. So funny!

[@AngrySkipperGC]

My favourite song from the musical! Love the dance!! The Australian version was amazing!

[@JTheFatalist]

For those who haven't seen this play, religious or not, it is hilarious

[@Kore_Memories]

If loving this song is wrong, then I don't want to be right!

[@CrystalCoyoteX]

This went off in my break room. And I just let it play. ;D

[@EraserDudeFilms]

I so hope that Matt and Trey turn this into a movie

[@garybaker6067]

Actually, they are. At least that's the rumor I heard.

[@NyanCatHerder]

It's not likely to happen until after sales of tickets to the play go down a little bit.

[@ToyFan]

As long as they're still selling out theaters, there won't be a movie.

[@jonsingsbway5112]

+TheTFReview actually there is a movie in the works right now. despite what people think, how tickets are selling on Broadway doesn't effect when a movie is made in most csses, just because there is a movie adaptation of a Broadway show doesnt make people all of a sudden stop going to the theatre to see it on Broadway, in fact it does quite the opposite..it peaks interests more

[@andrea7484]

@@jonsingsbway5112 would it be with the orignal broadway cast?

[@3DSDF]

I'm a Christian and I'm so sad that I can't sing parts of the song. I just can't do it, and I love this song lol. And I'm freaking comfortable singing Voltaire's "When Your Evil" too, dammit!!

[@pachutoazumadre32xD]

that's because it's so easy when you're evil

[@3DSDF]

Luis Hernandez But it gets so lonely being evil.

[@pachutoazumadre32xD]

What I'd do to see a smile

[@3DSDF]

Luis Hernandez Even for a little while

[@pachutoazumadre32xD]

+3DSDF and no one loves you when you're evil

[@zalleus3489]

So there's like 3 minutes of nothing after the song ends at 4:19

[@Vaeran7]

I like how the top comments are "oh boy that's blasphemous," not like, you know, "shit sucks in Africa" or something.

[@toriwolf280]

My theme song.

[@chloemason6204]

saw this in london last night, fucking amazing

[@JeredButler-r6n]

Couldn't agree with you more. Thank you.

[@lydiajulianprower8356]

Take out the lyrics and it sounds like something out of The Lion King.

[@ChristopherPaulBacon-m2l]

I thought the same thing.

[@L33dss09]

Went to watch these guys at the theatre in Leeds. Stupidly funny. One of the best performances I’ve ever watched.

[@603xxg]

From 2:13 onwards I feel like I'm going to hell.

[@John-xo6jw]

I know, I change the song after 3:30

[@ShnoogleMan]

Here's how I see it: God created us in his image, right? And he created us with a… well… *unusual* sense of humor, right? There you go.

[@pachutoazumadre32xD]

+ShnoogleMan yeah, besides, if there is a God, I'm sure he'll have more important things to worry about

[@Invisible-Rhino]

if God is omnipotent he understands the Ugandan Fury here is misdirected.,.,

[@chrissomething9444]

For fans of The Wire, that is Brother Mouzone singing the main part :)

[@nicholasgiordano7605]

Saw it on Broadway today hilarious show

[@shitariajackson9707]

This was my first time listening to this.. I thought it was just a fun, friendly little song... 😭

[@Boomsha8]

that moment when your mum walks and starts dancing to it then hears the lyrics, Hasa Diga Eebowai

[@SoBayK80]

I saw this opening week in Los Angeles, the playbill has 3 full page ads for LDS. Not too shabby when truth markets.

[@TheStinkBadger]

Can't wait to see this in Pittsburgh.

[@cykoaudio777]

my mom actually sponsored 2 kids in Uganda through missionary organization in Africa/Haiti etc-called Compassion Int.-.then went to Uganda(as most ppl do & encouraged to do,is visit & see how their aid helps the kids hands on)..but thye've been there for decades & it's nothing like Mormon missionaries..they've been there before the U.N. & institutionalized charities have been & have been engrained in the culture,revered,& protect ppl from Josef Kony,African warlord who kills his own ppl

[@abbyother7155]

So awesome.

[@kenblight8296]

Please don't listen to this if you hold strong religious beliefs or do not like foul language! we were just roaring with laughter with the feeling that perhaps we shouldn't be!!

[@clowncores]

I am really religious and I find the song hilarious

[@Invisible-Rhino]

do religious people really think that God causes the shit we see around us?! weird, I thought they taught that the prince of This World is Evil.,.,

[@seanwilson613]

From the people who brought you Frozens"Let it go" and Coco's "Remember me"

[@RENTnerd87]

Exactly! "If you don't like what we say/Try living here a couple days/Watch all your friends & family die/Hasa diga Eebowai!"

[@lobotomygal]

Saw the road show tonight and can’t quit laughing.

[@leah.isabel]

When you can't laugh at this because of your religion but it's actually pretty hilarious and you can't hold it in

[@LoganTO87]

This song is amazing and a half... and then you see the choreography and you are just overwealmed

[@quridapearson5068]

LOOKS ENTERTAINING

[@spacemonk1992]

i hate how much i love this song

[@HolyTurtleOfDoom]

There's also a hilarious connection to the lion kings hakuna matata, no worries.

[@carlacho1]

my new favorite song!

[@ArcSlayer6]

quite possibly...the best song ever >.

I love this song so much oh my god

[@psychosorcerer9438]

Dis man knows da way!

[@christianwhite768]

Saw it in London, fucking hilarious. Don't know how the hell they let it on Broadway though!

[@Invisible-Rhino]

because it's pro-religion

[@andrewcourten2018]

Different people in different parts of the world "learn" very different and mutually incompatible things about ‘god’. One’s own challenge is to be clear on the logical arguments that have led you to your particular version and why they are more appropriate compared with the many other versions that are held with equal conviction by others around the planet and throughout time.

[@supekele]

HAPPY BLASPHEMY DAY!! (or post-Blasphemy day if you're reading this in the future)

[@supekele]

***** Did you just type that in Chinese and string it through an English translator? Those aren't even sentences.

[@Invisible-Rhino]

if you lived in Uganda you would probably be angry with whoever you hold responsible for your plight

[@ilovetoparty1]

I respect your life decisions

[@nobledonkey17]

i feel so bad but i can't help and laugh my ass off at this

[@isaacemmins7512]

sorry god but aren't you the creator of everything????? including THIS!!

[@ProfessorSyndicateFranklai]

This is the meaning from swahili based on google translate. "Especially the dolphin"

[@poyanator]

tsk tsk tsk ... lost luggage... WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO

[@Lucky8z]

I feel so bad about listening to this, but its so good xD

[@cave_dweller6]

An all powerful being? Who created all of Earth and the rest of the world who we owe for everything beautiful and good in the entire universe? I'm SURE he'd be offended by a musical, of all things.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

Hasa Diga to anyone that dislikes this song.

[@Lenguanuat]

devout in my religion... but it is so damn catchy... im sure He has a sense of humor up there, right?

[@Avarcirith]

I don't find this song offensive at all. All it's saying is that a lot of Africans deal with horrible problems that most people (like these missionaries) can't even begin to relate to, and trying to convert them to your religion is definitely not going to fix it. It's all right there in the lyrics: "If you don't like what we say, try living here a couple days!" I won't ruin the end of the show for anyone who hasn't seen it, but it just shows that they have to work on things their own way.

[@zylokun]

why is there lik 2 minutes of dead air?

[@eirgo_s]

I just died hearing this xDDD omg! after 2:00+

I'm really religious but this song makes me laugh so much

[@doronoll]

Hasa diga Kitabu cha Mormoni.

[@jacobthelioneater]

Well, can you blame them? If they believe in an all-powerful being, it makes sense that they'd think of him first

[@YoungSkullKid1990]

Not dead yet, still laughing at the song, yep he does :P

[@Invisible-Rhino]

anyone who finds this song offensive: do you get pissed off with George Lucas whenever "The Emperor" opens his mouth to speak?

[@lemonpenguin8880]

You had to go off and make this a bop? I'm supposed to be religious and my biggest struggle is not singing along to this.

[@edbruin2345]
