"Funkahdafi" is a 1985 song by Belgian electronic band Front 242 about Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi. The song is one of the band's concert favorites. "Funkahdafi" first appeared on the EP Politics of Pressure (1985)[1] and was written by Daniel Bressanutti.[2] It also appeared on the band's compilation album Back Catalogue (1987). [3][4]

Song

The song opens with a vocal sample of Louis Farrakhan[5] at a Non Aligned Movement meeting. The lines in question are: We who are oppressed love those who fight against oppression and the oppressors. Brothers and sisters, it is with great honor and privilege that I present to you the leader of the El Fatah revolution... From Libya, our brother Muhammar El Kahdafi.[6]
