No Woman, No Drive – Comedians Mock Saudi’s Ban on Women Drivers byRemaking Bob Marley’s Hit Song (VIDEO)

Trying to be ironic on a serious issue, two comedians mocked Saudi Arabia’s ban on women drivers to the tune of the Bob Marley hit, “No Woman, No Cry.”

 In the viral video, which had almost 6 million views on YouTube by the time of writing this article, Saudi comedians Hisham Fageeh and Fahad Al Butairi sing lines like,

“Say I remember when you used to sit in the family car, but backseat”

Or

“Ova-ovaries are safe and well. So you can make lots and lots of babies,”

in response to Sheik Salah al-Luhaydan, a cleric who said women who drive risk damaging their ovaries and give birth to kids with defects.

The video has been making waves since Saturday when women throughout the country drove cars to protest the ban and posted videos of their “drive-in” online. As a result of the protest, a reported 16 women were fined.

Speaking in an interview to Huffington Post on October 28, 2013, Monday, the creators of the video expressed their hope that the ban on women drivers will be lifted soon. They also told that the purpose of the video was to “spread happiness and positivity.”
