Meadowmufn Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Have you seen from a Bulgarian talent show. The girl (Valentina Hasan) learned the Mariah Carey song 'Without You' without knowing any English. She thought the song was called 'Ken Lee' (Can't Live).Ken Leeeeeee... tulibu dibu douchoo!I saw that video many years ago and LMAO. I ran across it while viewing Buffalax's "translations" of songs. Just go to Youtube, search on "Buffalax", and you'll find a slew of them. My favorite is Moskau. Warning: some of the lyrics are adult in nature.

Meadowmufn Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I haven't read through the entire thread and I don't recall if I ever replied to this (other than my reply today), but I don't think it's weird to have a wide interest in music. I have very eclectic tastes in music. Funny Hoss should mention Falco, as I was just listening to him a few weeks ago (Vienna Calling, Der Kommisar). Right now, I'm listening to Cole Porter tunes. I love Django Reinhardt, especially Daphne and Brazil. I listen to both kinds of music, country and western (Blues Brothers reference. LOL). I listen to Big Band, jazz, rock (especially classic and southern rock), alternative, pop, disco, Motown, R&B, Gospel, etc. Pretty much the only thing I don't listen to is rap and death metal. LOL. But I'll give almost anything a listen once. Some of my old favorites (and some new favorites)... It will be a long list.Louis ArmstrongLouis Prima and Keely SmithElla FitzgeraldSam & DaveHerb Alpert and the Tijuana BrassBooker T and the MGsSergio Mendes & Brasil '66David Kane and Them JazzbeardsAbbaSimon & GarfunkelMuseElton JohnBilly JoelThe MonkeesThe BeatlesBilly PrestonBlues TravelerDave Matthews Band (the older stuff)Charlie Daniels BandCCRDave BrubeckDolly PartonHuey Lewis and the NewsJim CroceJimi HendrixLynyrd SkynyrdRoyksoppThree Dog NightTalking HeadsToby KeithJohn AndersonWeird AlDanny ElfmanThomas DolbyJerry ReedHoyt AxtonI could go on and on....

Ina Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I think Trio's only UK hit was Da Da Da - maybe it's the only one with English lyrics.I think it was the only one. ^^Have you seen from a Bulgarian talent show. The girl (Valentina Hasan) learned the Mariah Carey song 'Without You' without knowing any English. She thought the song was called 'Ken Lee' (Can't Live).OMG and she doesn't even sing good. XD And nope, I didn't know this video. XDWe hear stories over here that David Hasselhoff's music is popular in Germany - is this true?.Hmpf.... XD Yeah, he had a number one song in 89, I guess. I never understood what the people did like about "Looking for Freedom". He sang that song when the wall fell, even though it has nothing to do with real freedom. I wish they would have chosen this song as the Freedom song. It's call Freedom in german and the main meaning of the song is:"Freedom, Freedom, is the only thing that's missing...Freedom, Freedom is the only thing that's important" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warning: some of the lyrics are adult in nature.There is a show in Germany called Misheard Lyrics. It's on Youtube as well. Coldmirror did many funny miheard lyrics with funny videos. But I guess it's really only funny, if you do understand german. XDMy fav is this one:She did understand Dinosaur Tasche which means Dinsosaur bag, but in turkish it means Dinosaur balls and the song is X-rated and very dull. XDhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7ZZG20zN8AOr this one XDElla the Elephant:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93IAPKnD2Bo&feature=relmfu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Ina, you keep reminding me of other German groups I know. Münchener Freiheit (known in the UK as just Freiheit) had a #14 hit in the UK in 1988 with 'Keeping The Dream Alive': I have to agree with the YouTube comments (from the original video I posted) - the vocals are almost a cross between some of Paul McCartney's solo work and ELO. Like Trio, Freiheit are also thought of as a one-hit-wonder in the UK. Maybe if you guys spoke English more often ... .

HossC Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Speaking of misheard lyrics ... there's a site I used to visit years ago that specializes in them. I've just checked, and it's still there at www.kissthisguy.com. The website's name is taken from a misheard Jimi Hendrix lyric - 'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy ...

The website's name is taken from a misheard Jimi Hendrix lyric - 'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy ...I've been there a lot over the years. Misheard lyrics are called mondegreens. The name comes from a poem that writer Sylvia Wright misheard when she was young...Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,Oh, where hae ye been?They hae slain the Earl O' Moray,And laid him on the green.The last line was misheard as "And Lady Mondegreen".Check out Elton's page. He's got some fantastic mondegreens. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ina Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Like Trio, Freiheit are also thought of as a one-hit-wonder in the UK. Maybe if you guys spoke English more often ... .Hahahahaha... like Tokio Hotel? XD They did their first song in japanese, that is so awful, if you know, how japanese has to sound. XDThis should be it. If you can watch it, it's restricted in Germany.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvupo9SSvEOh btw. a very good singer/band is Unheilig (Unholy), they have very very good songs.As I have heard he wrote these songs for a friend. "An Deiner Seite" means "At your side" and he wrote it, because his friend was very ill and dying. It means, that he stands at his side, through all problems and what this friend gave to him. He wrote "Geboren um zu leben", "Born to love" after his friend did die. It's about how precious life is and that the death of someone beloved is no reason to give up.

XDThe second video is restricted in Germany. x-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
