umbertino Posted October 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 "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 some European Countries I recall watching it as a boy ( end of 60's / beginning of 70's).....It was broadcast in Eurovision...At the same time in all countries involved In Italian it was called " Giochi senza frontiere" ( literally " Games without borders/frontiers") while in England it was called "It's a knock out" ( and differently in other Countries, of course ...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeux_Sans_Frontières Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertino Posted October 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Youssou ( who is from Senegal, West Africa....Interesting Country...I visited there twice in the past...) once said that the meaning of this song is about the way technology ( tv sets, cell. phones, computers, Facebook and similar 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 (Hey, wait a minute...That's what has been happening in the so called "civilized" western world as well.....) So the very African sense of belonging to a community is getting lost Progress I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
