umbertino Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 "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 ...)

umbertino Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
