Singer Nelly Calls On All Arabs Bedouins

When your name is Nelly a very non-Arab name, and you release a song titled "Oh, Arabs", there is something going on this world. Doing a Bedouin style song is as old as mankind. In what looks like a rugged Bedouin village, you can see this Lebanese base whose previous music video was about pirates, doing all things Bedouins do.

While they got the lyrics, and the outfits right, I feel the music is not anywhere close to to the Bedouins. Maybe if you are used to seeing Bedouins in the club, this song will agree with you, but those two things do not add up.

For goat herders, Nelly Makdessi looks well groomed and pretty pampered for a lady living in the desert. This is not how life looks out there, c'mon, sword dancing woman for the man? This does not happen, unless you are working in Hollywood that sex-ifies everything.
