Way down deep in the middle of the Congo,
A hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango.
He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.
The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo"
Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.
The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin.
The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.
So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle,
They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!

Will someone just please explain who Umbongo is that they are referring to as a possible signing?

Arabgrayser · 28/6/2017 12:01 pm

The votes are counted, and the winner has been decided – Um Bongo is the Nation’s Favourite Casually Racist Song!The quirky, upbeat song from the 1980’s advert impressed judges with it’s ‘subtle use of racial imagery’, and the ‘clever use of stereotypes from an Empire long gone’.

I was just guessing, but he's been released by that team he's now a free agent

Same as what I've heard.

What's the point in this? I know something you don't know. If your source requires discretion, you wouldn't say anything on a public forum surely...

Tek · 28/6/2017 1:30 pm

Cannae believe people don't remember Umbongo.

And cannae believe Beardy thinks folk were being rasict (casually or otherwise).

It was a cryptic clue.

28/6/2017 1:43 pm

Don't mention Robertson's jam!!

28/6/2017 1:51 pm

I hope I won't be offending anyone if I say DM's goalscoring record is less than prolific....

LarsErikKjell · 28/6/2017 1:54 pm

If there are any prolific goalscorers out there then they wont be signing for us...

Correct. Strikers with as ordinary a goals:games ratio of 1:2 are hard to find.
Our market will be in the 1:4 category hoping they can come here & improve the ratio.

Malonga was really good at Hibs (if it's him).

He only just signed for a team though in Spain looking at his Wiki page.

*Googles other Congolese out of contract Strikers*

PatReilly · 28/6/2017 2:45 pm

Dominique Malonga's short term contract with Elche CF ends on July 1st, according to Transfermkt.

Nobody was being racist (in my view), just somebody pretending to be offended.

Umbongo is oversweet pish: you can still get it here, and in Europe.

Mass Debates · 28/6/2017 2:58 pm

Laddie from Congo being offered to us, one of Freddy VDH's stable, a striker and meant to be rapid. He was over at the weekend looking around Dundee. No name unfortunately.

Apologies if my Umbongo comment upset anyone, didn't realise my childhood drink based reference was offensive.

SuperMario · 28/6/2017 3:11 pm

Never even heard of umbongo, yous must be a lot older than me

JerryDungle · 28/6/2017 5:23 pm

Taylor-Sinclair's another non-starter, just signed for Plymouth.

TheShed · 28/6/2017 6:20 pm

Can't believe that this place has turned into a racist cesspit tbh, I mean discussing umbongo, some folk need to go and have a long hard look at themselves.
