I Go Chop Your Dollar
 

So I was flipping channels last night, and 20/20 was doing a segment on Nigerian scams. Among other things, they showed a heart surgeon who spent several hundred thousand dollars for cleaning "black money" - that is, money that had supposedly been dyed black for smuggling purposes, but in fact was a briefcase of construction paper. Wow.

At one point, though, the host mentioned that these kind of scams have become well commented on in Nigerian pop culture, and then showed a snippet of a Nigerian musical video entitled "I Go Chop Your Dollar," featuring dramatizations of dudes getting scammed.

Here is a link to a Youtube video of the song. Not too many great screen caps, here's one:

About a minute and a half into the video is pretty representative:

"I go chop your dollar
I go take your money ???
419 is ????
You are the loser, I am the winner."

The song is pretty catchy. I've been burning with an urge to start saying this to people at the poker tables.

pretty sure its

"I go chop your dollar
I go make (could be take) your money dissapear
419 is just a game
You are the loser, I am the winner."

I guess 419 is the number of the statute prohibiting financial fraud by misrepresentation in Nigeria

I saw this last night too. My favorite part was the guy in the black construction paper scam who started crying...

My new life goal is to scam a Nigerian scammer.
