NB: Note how Ms Ros Sereysothea expertly drags her voice/vocal in places in the singing to align it with the mocking, flirting, provocative spirit of the words and the context of the song and, thus bringing everyday playfulness of humanity to life, not to mention a knowing smile to the face of the discerning listener - not School of Vice!
It was not enough merely to have a singer of her calibre and golden voice in order to produce such musical masterpieces - this could only have been accomplished by a dedicated team of song writers, artistic directors, musicians, and so forth, all working collectively towards achieving a set of common goals.

Yet, there must be countless unsung heroes whose talents, efforts and passions had made all the accomplishments possible, and whose contributions will probably never be fully credited or acknowledged. We could say much the same of national politics, leadership and nation-building - if there be such a positive process...
