Teeth aside, the singer's name is David Kramer.  I'm guessing he's some sort
of South African icon.

Biography:

David Kramer was born in Worcester in the Cape in 1951. He played in a band
called The Creeps in the 60's, and moved to England in 1971 to study textile
design at Leeds University. He released is first half live/half studio album
'Bakgat' in 1981, most of which was banned by the SABC. His follow up album
'Die Verhaal van Blokkies Joubert' came later that year and produced the
chart topping 'Hak Hom Blokkies' and the top 10 hit 'Die Royal Hotel'. The
album reached number 11 on the LP charts. His only other singles chart
success was with 'Stoksielalleen' from the 'Kwaai' album, however he did
chart with 'Delicious Monster', 'Hanepootpad' and 'Kwaai' in the albums
charts.

In 1986 he collaborated with Taliep Petersen on the highly acclaimed stage
musical 'District Six' It was also with Petersen that he produced
'Fairyland' and 'Kat & the Kings' all to critical acclaim, the latter having
successful runs on Broadway and in London's West End.

With his trademark red velskoene, bicycle and guitar, he has been an
enduring figure on South Africa's music scene. His songs are mostly stories
about ordinary life in South Africa life and are usually very funny, and
almost always have a deeper, more serious message.
