Question for Old time Qatar Residents
Lately there has been a song stuck in my head which only a hand full of old time Qatar residents might remember. The song was called "Under the Qatari Sky" it used to show up on some TV commercial back in 1986ish anyone remember? I'm looking for the song anywhere online but cant find it :(
It went something like: Under the Qatari sky..you can watch the people go by blah blah something something" and there were scenes of old fishing boats by the corniche!
If anyone can find the song/video I'll treat them to coffee :P
da-mnnnnn; i didn't know i was hanging out with my grannies, hehe :)

Under the Qatari Sky
You can hear the children sing
Jelly Fish in the Sea can make you sting
Sip a hot chai as they watch life go by
Under the Qatari Sky... you will know why...
Under the Qatari Sky

at the Souk you can buy and buy
At QDC you can even get the wine
at the Corniche you can watch life go by
At the desert you can just go stay
There with a 4Wheel you can drive all night
Under the Qatari Sky see the date tree swing...

Are you going to sing tat song in Nepal ? :)
I was watching Malgudi Days... Khandan... Mr Ya Mrs... and ofcourse Ramayan and Mahabharat...
you were allowed staying up past your bedtime ( 7pm in most sane countries ), when you were a kid?
Seems that way BB...thought the "know it all" ql'ers here would have an idea about this but sadly it looks like a difficult question.
Fine anyone who can get me the song will gets a two shots of tequila on me :)
I wouldn't remember watching quiz shows at that age, only cartoons and tv shows that i liked...but then this darn song would play between shows at night hence i remember it.
even matli was interviewed by him
Kareena74 thanks for brushing up my memory...
Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Knight Rider, Fall Guy, The Jeffersons, Differnet Strokes, Small Wonder ...wow... you remember these shows...
Smoke you should offer something little stronger than Coffee...
Oh you don't mean "Luscious Lucy"
The Blowup Doll?
Nick something who was a newsreader on the QTV channel 37 also used to host Ramadan quiz and the showed used to be telecast everday in Ramadan after the sunset prayers..
ooredoo responded to my message :P
Hi Saeed, sorry for any delay, please email us more details of the problem you're facing with your contact and service number to [email protected] and sure we'll look into your case and assist you further.
Think kareena think..you seem to have a pretty good memory...i want THE SONG! :P
yes i remember that...:P
I appeared on Animal Farm, I was the pretty goose.
I was born in 1974 and the show started in 1981 or 82..It lasted till 86 though.. I don't remember the name of the show, it was young something..
Aunty Lucy..
Didn't Smoke have a crush on her once and sent her a valentine's day card ?
Birt: Come to me, Come to me /: that sounds like a pervert's seduction!
if you were born in 75 or 74..then in 86 how come you were 7 years :P
I once appeared on Aunty Lucy's show for kids.. I was 7 years old that time.. I think my mother had recorded that show on a VHS that time but long lost it since then.. There was some spring fair or something at Doha College or Doha English Speaking School and she was interviewing a bunch of kids for the show..
the small wonders
Dick Robinson ...Lol..:P
Like i said..the song is stuck in my head...and i cant freaking find it anywhere..IMAGINE THAT..the one thing GOOGLE cant find :P
Yup Aunty Lucy used to be a kids show by her and yeah they were news readers as well, Elias too was one of them.
ROFL...:))))))))))))))))))))))
There'll be camels over the white cliffs of Dafna
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
there’ll be sun heat, and respiration
tomorrow when the world cup is here
(Bedouin will scarifies his cheep)
(The bellies will bloom again)
And smokie will go to sleep
in his own little liter box again
Under the Qatari sky;
Far, far from the wandering eye;
You can use binoculars to spy;
You can watch the people go by;
Qatar will whisper;
In the wind of the sea;
Here am I, your special land;
Where Smoke plays pool;
Rizks with his Karak Chai Stand;
Come to me, come to me;
Your own special hopes;
Your own special dreams;
Bloom in the desert and shine in the streams;
If you try, you'll find me;
Where the sky meets the sea;
I am Qatar;
Come to me, Come to me;
Lucia Mc Cawly that is Aunty Lucy and Nick something and Dick Robinson and Jina Coleman.. They used to the news readers on QTV channel 37 back in early eighties.. Good old days.. Why did you bring it up? I feel so nostalgic...
How can this be possible! I swear i'm not kidding..kareena do you at least remember Freddie Fender singing on the corniche?
QTV channel 37 started in early eighties.. I have been here since 1979.. I remember it used to start at 4pm and end at 10pm on weekdays. They used to show Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Knight Rider, Fall Guy, The Jeffersons, Differnet Strokes, Small Wonder and a host of then popular American tv shows..
But I am afraid I don't remember that song you are talking about..
Indeed anyone here works or knows anyone in Qtv? :P
The original street name was Souq Waqif Street,
But bloody yankees stole the song and made fools of us all!
Call in a request QBS to play it for your birthday :O)
Sunny day - Sweepin' the clouds away,
On my way to where the air is sweet.
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street
Come and play, everything's A-OK
Friendly neighbors there that's where we meet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street
It's a magic carpet ride. Every door will open wide.
To Happy people like you. Happy people who.
What a beautiful sunny day sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame street,
How to get to Sesame Street,
How to get to...Sesame !!!!! YEEYYY!
It was a english accent man singing the song. I can only remember bits and pieces of the video like the fishing boats and pearl divers too if i'm not mistaken.
Thelonius, it would be silly for some guy to call Qtv and randomly ask them about an old Tv commercial such as this. If i could get in touch with someone through a known person it would be different :P
i thought ur my old time buddy :(..btw...who was there..male or female...females swinging their hair or pls describe a little bit man :(
Ooredoo, ask your old time buddies man..someone will remember they should, it used to bloody come on the tv everyday!
I think getting engaged made nandos like this..i fear what marriage will do to him :P
this question is tougher than my 12th exams :(
that is malayali song and not qatari song
No?
I think it goes something like this:
Hmmmmmmmm… Hmmmmmmmm… Oru naal sirithaen, , Maru naal veruthaen, ,Unnai naan kollamal kondru puthaithaeney, , Mannipaaya!!
Well then spit it out..do you remember the lyrics?
Well I got news for ya mister! I been living in this country long time before Gforce and starwar!
Marco you liar :P
I want the coffee treat..so please wait :)
I know the song
Maybe..just maybeee..if someone works at Qtv might be able to find this in their archives?
smokey, have you checked tat song at Souq Waqif ?
Cherukkan, do you remember the singer Freddy Fender too did a song in Qatar "Before the next tear drop falls" this song too was around that time.
Smokey, very difficult to remember that old song but will check with some guys who were with me at that time.
Gforce used to be my favorite hahahahaha!

I want THIS SONG!

Bionic six...voltron
Ooredoo you dont consist of all the Ql'ers so I will wait for those that do know not for some baacha like you. :p
with all due respect
I Swear, I Swear, I Swear
Swearing by the one who raised the sky [1]
Swearing by the one who spread the light
Qatar will always be free
By the spirit of the loyal
Travel the high road
Travel by the guiding light of the Prophets
Qatar In my heart is a way
That respects the achievements of our forefathers
Qatar is land of the foremost men
Who protect us in time of distress,
Doves they can be at times of peace,
Warriors they are at times of sacrifice (Repeat 2×, then repeat first four lines)
Mr. Magoo

Alredoo, they had english shows back then remember Knight rider, street hawk...they had plenty of english shows as well even local ones...who remember Aunty Lucy :P
Where is Dweller? he would know.
Its an English song, most of the scenes were taken by the Corniche of those big semi circle type fishing nets with fishing boats, i think it used to come during the english commercials on Qatar Tv back then.
I dnt drink caffee, nt interested ;)
in 1986 when did qtv start english songs that too related to qatar...it was not that far advanced
Smokey is it an Arabic song or English ?
Dude i'm serious..there used to be this song may be you were not even born then :P Will wait for others to comment.
