"Games Without Frontiers" was a TV show about  non- sporty games ( some very silly actually...)  involving people from many Countries in Europe with groups  representing  national teams.... Broadcast in the 60's and 70's ( probably in the early 80's too)...In a few Western (only, as far as I remember....) European Countries

 

I recall watching it as a boy ( end of 60's / beginning of 70's).....

 
In Italian  it was called " Giochi senza frontiere" ( literally " Games  without borders/frontiers") while in English it was called "It's a knock out" ( and differently in other Countries, of course ...)

Youssou ( who is from Senegal, West Africa....Interesting Country...I visited there twice....)  once said  that the meaning of this song is how technology ( tv sets, cell. phones, computers etc) is ruining / has ruined already the sense of community , sense of belonging to something strong  & solid, esp. in African villages ( damage was already done in African cities).

 

People socialize less and less cos they want to see  TV  ( and use other gadgets) all the time

 

So the very African sense of belonging to a community is getting lost

 

Progress I guess
