This has to be one of the funniest things I have seen on YouTube!
عائلة بندلي – Do you love me?
I never heard of these guys before … عائلة بندلي , and apparently this was shot in Kuwait in 1978!
I would love to know more information if any of you knows much! There is alot more of them on YouTube and its all great stuff!
I can’t get the song out of my head!
I recommend you check out all the videos this person uploaded, really great stuff you cant get anywhere else on the net!

This second one is not as funny, but very very interesting! Check it out and compare it to our time! Just beautiful!

LOL! i knew the song but i’ve never seen the video! enaha 7aqan la 3a’ela kareema
LoL….. Amazing!! Had to pass it on!
My mom was hearing the song when I was checking the blog, and she told me that 3eylat Beladi are originally Armenians. So thats a little tid bit.
I never heard of these guys before !!!!!!!!!!
YOU TODDLER!
Man this is your best post yet!
Hussah will make my mum watch the music video. she is armenian and was in kuwait at that time so she might know more about them.
“Kuwaity femme” blog had the same video on her blog yesterday, and since yesterday I had this song on my head!!! I will have few days now !!!! lol
Ok Lebanese band. I knew who Reem Al Bendaly was but I didn’t know before she went solo her family used to be a band.
lol i know isn’t it great.. i keep playing it over and over
The funny thing about the mandali clip that was shot in kuwait is that there ia a sign in the background saying “For Families Only”, and I thought this label was a recent invention!!!!
Clean sea, clean hearts, beautiful voices.
It sucks living in Kuwait 2007
bandali family has another funny song called “dawerha dawer dawer” check it out
Also when you see these old kuwaiti songs you can only wonder to what happened to this lovely country !! it is soooooo sad because we had so much potential and we still do, but the mediocraty has taken over
mandali=bandali
Check this video of one of my favorate old songs

SirAddi, im glad u like our culture ;P
Hussah and Mark, thanks for the info, im trying to find more info online but couldnt find anything, so thanks alot!
maha, i saw this through a friend of mine yesterday, she probably got it from Kuwaiti Femme.
Kuwaiti Femme, Im hooked!
shosho, yeah exactly I noticed that too and was surprised to see the sign, doesnt go with the image i had in mind of the 70s in Kuwait!
QAR, the only videos I found of the group were posted by the same person here. I found some songs but no video here but not the song u mentioned!
Allo Allo was a favourite one too of the Bendali Family

Personally my favorite YOUTUBER is ‘Sporty4ever’.
Very interesting!
Just saw second video…. What a strange new culture we’re living in today..negating to our heritage and everything that is Kuwaiti.
7asafa 3ala li Kuwait..Our culture was abolished in the late 70′s and replaced with something non of us recognize or relate to.
آسف مصّختها، بس هاك

و تحسر على الكويت
See had you taken me to coffee and listened to my old stories you would.
Since you’re the you tube expert

thanx
wulaa cool..inta men ween tnabber o tjeeb halsowalef el6ayba…lol
keep up the good work man
Love the song!
Asks 3 profound questions that some ppl spend their lives seekin answers to- do u luv me? do u need me? do u want me?
Hilarious how no one is actually playing any of the instruments that they r carryin…
And it’s classic how u can see a sign saying ” 3a’elat” (Families only) in the background
The second song is borderline distrubing sara7a- the women r so masculine in it … with the 3ood, drums and the clapping … no offense to all the women out there
This video & song is so addictive!! Crazzzy! – LoL
I was singing it in my Law Class! Not Good!!
LOL Q, imnain im6al3 Bandali, hehehee
I’ve never seen the video but I had their tape (cassette) with me in the states in the early eighties. This song was very popular then. But don’t know about the band, and don’t know if they had other cassettes.
You made my day
Guys, it’s a very famours lebanese band..
BS – It is BEN STILLER!!! Look at his face! It is Ben Stiller and he’s doin’ a 70′s spoof on Kuwait~
Awesomeness…
Gotta love the “musical fusion”…
(I actually remember my mother singing this when I was a child.)
Whoa. I feel old.
Great post man.
Peace,
A
man i didn’t know ina il banat yiqdiron yishrabikon this way
hehehehe
wala very nice … i mean the second one
ShoSho is right.
Their name was Mendali, not Bendali.
Honestly, AMAZING!
I remember both of these songs and its pretty amazing what you used to be!
Keep the old times coming please! Maybe it can it will have a positive effect on the present
will here is the thign i liked the clip about the bandly family that i was searching for it, the bad thing that i could not find it on the net. i guess your source is much better then mine and im not that much of surfer.. so will it be possible to make a link to down load it im trying but i cant , please do cause i find them Intreagig and good old fashion style of music is really something..
if you have more for them pelase do .. thanks.
Guyes..Al Bandaly famaly group was one of the best musical groups in the Arab world in its time!!actually a poineering one..before there was any of the trivial bands of today…
I love the movie of Ben Stiller which is There is something about mary, nice love story and comedy.`”;
