Escaping to Paradise: The Dream of Kailakee, Kailakoo

The song "Kailakee, Kailakoo" by Middle Of The Road is a whimsical and dreamy escape from the mundane realities of urban life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple yearning to leave behind the monotony of TV cartoons, wet afternoons, and grey city streets. They dream of a simpler, more fulfilling life on a tropical island near North Venezuela, named Kailakee, Kailakoo. This island represents an idyllic paradise where they can live freely and happily, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The song's imagery is rich with the allure of tropical life. The couple envisions themselves engaging in simple, yet satisfying activities like fishing by the shore, building a home with a coconut floor, and teaching a parrot to speak. The mention of tropical songbirds singing them to sleep adds to the serene and peaceful atmosphere they long for. The island is not just a physical place but a symbol of their desire for a life filled with nature, tranquility, and love.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this dream is not just a fleeting fantasy but a serious plan. They talk about laughing at the taxman who never got paid and giving away their unused belongings to friends. This signifies a complete break from their current life and a commitment to their new, simpler existence. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes their longing and determination to make this dream a reality. "Kailakee, Kailakoo" is a celebration of the human desire to find a personal paradise, a place where one can truly be happy and free.
