This is a famous song by Arie Wibowo and it was a pop hit in Southeast Asia particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia during the 80’s. This song is the sighing words of a guy who has a girlfriend, whose taste and attitude is totally different than his. The song simply tells the differences in lifestyle between a guys from the lower class in the society and a vogue, materialistic and elegant girl from the upper class, hence the difference between cassava and cheese. It is such a nostalgia to listen to this song again now.
