Hive Open Mic 115 : "Doing The Work" Slank - Mars Slankers cover by @donirosayandi
Hi Hivers, how are you all? I'm sure we're all fine. By the way, my name is @donirosayandi, I'm a guitarist. On this occasion I will sing again for the 115th week of the Hive Open Mic #openmic contest with theme: "Doing The Work." This theme is chosen by our recent Spotlight Artist: @lk666.
For this week's theme I have prepared a good song, a song that is bold and related to the theme, namely the song called "Mars Slankers" which was popularized by "Slank".
Slank is a famous band from Indonesia, they were formed in 1986, the first personnel consisted of Bimo Setiawan (drums), Boy (guitar), Kiki (guitar), Abi (bass), Uti (vocals), and Well Welly (vocals). Until 1996, the band experienced personnel changes more than 10 times.
After repeated personnel changes, the band finally has a definite formation consisting of Bimbim (drums), Kaka (vocals), Ivanka (bass), Ridho (guitar), and Abdee (guitar). While pursuing their careers, they only played songs from idol musicians such as the Rolling Stones. However, over time, they began to work by playing their own original songs. His slengean style, aka relaxed, modest, and indifferent on stage made this band finally called the Slank band.
In the course of their career, Slank made a breakthrough by creating a song called "Mars Slankers". This song is included in their album entitled Road to Peace.
At first this song was given the name "Here is Not a Lazy Child" Then by Slankers (Slank lovers) it was finally made Mars for Slankers in Indonesia.
The process of recording the song was carried out directly on stage. To get a thicker sound with live performance nuances on stage.
This song itself tells about an invitation to work hard at work, not to be lazy, and not to be spoiled at work. As in the lyrics below:
Here are not lazy kids
A place for hard workers
Here are not spoiled children
A little work, yo, yo, A lot to ask
This song really represents the feelings of the Slankers who love their work,
Creative in work, productive in doing work, and not weak against obstacles that stand in the way.
This song is also often sung when Labor Day arrives, because again this really represents the behavior of the workers who are very diligent in working, and love their work.
This is the place to find fun
Wrong place if you are looking for money
Here people are full of creativity
A place for survivors
Here I list the full lyrics
Di sini tempat cari senang
Salah tempat kalau kau cari uang
Di sini orang-orang penuh kreativitas
Tempat orang-orang yang survive
Di sini bukan anak-anak malas
Tempatnya para pekerja keras
Di sini bukan anak-anak manja
Sedikit kerja, yo, yo, yo, yo
Banyak mintanya.
Kerja, kerja, ayo kita kerja
Kerja, kerja, ayo kita kerja
Di sini bukan anak-anak malas
Tempatnya para pekerja keras
Oh, di sini bukan anak...
Kerja, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yo, yo, yo, yo) banyak mintanya
