For archival purposes.

I apologize for the low quality. I will be honest, I found this video about a year ago deep on some Iraqi Facebook group that I dug through using solely google translate. The audio of this video only worked when I uploaded it to Youtube for some reason. It's honestly a miracle I was able to save this video at all.

Since I do not know Arabic, I couldn't tell you what any of these songs are or if they exist in audio form independently on the internet(with the exception of songs detected by copyright detectors). It appears this is pure recorded Iraqi television VHS footage. I would like to imagine, this is what Iraqi television would look like back in the 1980s during the height of the Saddam era of Iraq. An interesting little slice of fairly recent pre-internet history that would be especially hard to find in the English speaking realm.

Thanks to Youtube's automated copyright checking system, I've been able to identify 3 songs that are present in this video. I have posted time stamps, full names in both English and Arabic, as well as links to videos with just the songs. Again, these names in English can be completely wrong since I don't know Arabic and are an approximation based on online translators.
