It's taken me a while to find the cd, but find in full stereo audio Idi Amin's favourite song, "Amazin' Man", as sung by the man himself (backing vocals by John Bird).

FIVE!

Idi, Idi, Idi Amin
Most amazing man there's ever been
He de General, de President, de King of de Scene
Idi, Idi, Idi Amin

What rising to de top and getting chopped again.

You gotta give de population something to sing

Idi, Idi, Idi Amin

He de General, de President, de King of de Scene
Idi, Idi, Idi Amin

Where these first class geniuses all going wrong
They never got the population singing along.

Idi, Idi, Idi Amin
Most amazing man there's ever been
He de General, de President, de King of de Scene
Idi, Idi, Idi Amin
