Where does Orange Kenya's ad jingle come from?

So you have heard the Orange Kenya adverts, yes, the radio adverts, or the television adverts with the tag line "Today changes with Orange".

There's the fast-moving jingle that comes with adverts. Guess where that comes from?

I was listening to this mix on Mixcrate titled "The Wedding Mix" when I heard the Orange jingle fade in at the end of Journey's "don't stop believing". Behold, it's a whole song!

It appears the French have a particular liking for the song (Orange Kenya is owned by FranceTelecom, who will soon rename to Orange :-) ). Wikipedia reports that Nicholas Sakorzy's party used the song for elections campaign, offering the band 1 Euro as payment. They subsequently sued and got 30,000 euros(KSh. 3.4 million) in settlement.

The song also features in the FIFA09 video game, in the movie Stranger than fiction , the first episode of The Vampire Diaries, Season 2 of Gossip Girl and on The Real Hustle. Nokia also used the track to launch the Nokia N8. Clearly, it's a popular track.

Its a song by MGMT. You may have heard of them, they featured in Kid Cudi's Pursuit of happiness.

MGMT's song is titled Kids. Listen to it below or watch the YouTube video.

WhatsApp Solution: Sorry we were unable to restore any of your message history backup

*This method only works if you are trying to transfer WhatsApp from one phone to another, and have not deleted WhatsApp data or formatted the old phone. If you already uninstalled WhatsApp and deleted data or logged into a different number, it won't work. If you get the “Sorry we were unable to restore any of your message history backup” when trying to restore your WhatsApp messages, trying to restore again from the same backup will probably fail. The issue seems to be caused by an issue with your backup file such as if you repeatedly tried to backup with internet connecting and disconnecting.

Kenyan Beers and Craft Beer Reviews for 2025

It's 2025, and you asked for yet another Kenyan beer review. Let's cut straight to the chase - we keep the many stories for once we are drunk. Right? This year we categorize the beers according to breweries. Bila Shaka / Bateleur Flagship is Bila Shaka which is a rich flavoured but bitter IPA with 6% volume. They focus more on quality and experimenting. Home to many pleasantly (sweet per 2 people. I agree) favoured beers like Dire Straits, and for the ladies who love it a lot on the sweeter side, there's Honey Badger. These come in at about 5% or so. Jua Kali isn't as sweet as the above and is a mixed rice and barley beer, for some reason popular in the hot coast. Capitan is their bar beer and is a light-ish, pleasant beer at 4% volume and a good time passer when you're there for a long and good night and have things to do the next day. My favourite local brewer and highly recommended, especially Dire Straits. It's a medium beer, don...

Beers in Kenya: A sober opinion

Note: This is a dated post and has since been mostly passed by events. SAB Miller beers including Castle and Peroni are no longer widely available in Kenya after their exist. Sirville Brewery was bought out by Brew Bistro before being permanently shut in a tax dispute. Kenya is a land of milk, honey, beaches and taxes. I have penned, or is typed, a newer post here . Peroni - One of the best beers in Kenya. Did a taste of canned and bottled Italian, and bottled Tanzanian I like the tangy flavour and body in Tanzanian Peroni. The can is close. Heineken drinkers will like the Italian one. I have had a short beer swigging stint in my life. It has however been long enough for me to share my opinion of Kenyan beer. Interestingly, over the course of sharing such opinions with other drunkards connoisseurs, I have found that we all have different views as to what beer is the best, which one makes you too drunk, or which one gives one free, extra hangover for every ha...

Best mid-budget tyres in Kenya 2025

It is often said that tyres are the only thing keeping you in contact with the ground, and therefore safety is essential here. If we all could afford, we could purchase the best set of Michelin that money can buy and there would be no need to discuss options. But wishes are simply that.
