Son of W.A.Y. parody: (Only In) Saudi

  • (Only In) Saudi
  • Music video ideas:
    • Music video must show a mixed video and still image montage of everything to do with Saudi Arabia, for good or for ill.
    • Somewhere in the video, show the (construction of the) Kingdom Tower, the first kilometer-high skyscraper in the world, located in Jeddah.
  • Lyric ideas:
    • Mention the prosperity of Saudi Arabia due to its oil wealth.
    • Mention that women are banned from driving.
    • Mention religious persecution
    • All occurrences of "Happy" get replaced with "Saudi" 
  • LYRICS (Draft 0.2):
    • Group 1
      • There's this crazy kingdom in the Middle East,
      • Their government's like oppressive police,
      • This oil-rich country never lets women drive,
      • With little freedom, we wonder how they all thrive.
