  • Impossible not to share - from the theme track of Spidey on SABC many years ago to @falko1graffiti’s brilliance #Repost @falko1graffiti ・・・ RABOBI... Remember the 80s Xhosa Spider-Man that appeared on TV1 (now SABC 1) back in the day? Most of us were forced to tune into the simulcast broadcast on the radio in order to catch The Amazing Spider-Man in English. For those feeling nostalgic, here is the original Xhosa theme song for Rabobi. The 80s was a simpler time. As a kid, five o’ clock meant sprinting home from a game of cricket in the streets in order to catch The Amazing Spider-Man on TV. Unfortunately, Spidey wasn’t in English. Thankfully, our TV (a rather large Telefunken set) allowed us to tune into the radio (which broadcasted the original English) at the same time. But not until we listened to the theme song in Xhosa. We had to. Rabobi was special. More special than Spider-Man. There was something about the dubbed theme song that really captured the times. Apartheid wasn’t abolished yet and Rabobi was our only access to a Xhosa-speaking hero. While Die Swart Kat will always hold a special place in my heart, it just wasn’t the same. Today we salute Rabobi. He might not be a real local hero, but he managed to give us hope during hopeless times. Unfortunately, we’re unable to find the original. However, a band by the name of Slugs of War covered the song in 2002-2003. Still, it’s hilarious and quite catchy. You have’ta love lyrics like “Rabobi ba ya gona Dr . Octopus left right, iGreen Goblin uppercut KO one time!” >>>by Edward Wallace {tag him if you know him} #falko1 #streetartsouthafrica #spiderman #streetartoftheday #streetartistry #streetphotography #urban #urbanart #streetartnews #instagrafite #worldwidestreetart #streetartworldwide #sprayplanet
