angie 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 Don't forget Girls Aloud off that list! And I have quite a few Russian tunes on my iTunes, as well as various spanish songs and a few greek songs. I also have a compilation CD of contemporary Arabic pop/dance music, which is very fun. I also have Suerte which is the spanish version of Whenever Wherever by Shakira which I actually prefer over the English version! She sounds a lot more bearable in Spanish! Really?tell me the titles.i'm soooo curious to know! anyway,i mainly listen to foreign music so let's see... spanish:El canto del loco(i looooove them),aventura,pereza,el sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argento Reloaded 1 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 Yeah you're lucky in that sense. I think I prefer the Latin American accent in Spanish. You don't have those silly 'th' sounds so much? (Like in Valencia or Jerez.) Mind you, the Spanish version of ella is nicer, to my ears at least. Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, and there's no such simple dichotomy. Actually I refuse to believe you speak scouse. At least you don't write it. Here at Buenos Aires, we speak more like Italians: we don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 Try this one from one of the new(well kinda) movies in Bollywood....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtJD_4zCC8Q Thanks Ankit. That makes me far less dizzy than Jay's song. It must be something to do with the 'scales' you use in traditional Indian music that really does make me queasy. In a nice way. It reminds me of curry too, which more than makes up for the dizziness. Katy, how can you not mention Die Arzte? Ok, you need to actually understand German for any of their stuff to be funny and make sense, otherwise its just a munch of noise but still even without understanding them they are Die beste Band der Welt!And Sportfreunde Stiller come from the same town outside of Munich that I grew up in, our one export haha Cool, thanks. Your one export? Don't forget the inimitable F1 FANatic... I can speak a little German - nowhere near enough to understand the songs without seeing the lyrics written out though. As it happens I'm very into Indonesian prog rock right now.Unfortunately it's more weird chanting than actual words, so I don't know if I can count any of them as being in any language as such..... Weird chanting is what I do best. Imagine a Steve Reich composition where you have me chanting in 3 slow and distant voices, each one at a slightly different speed, 'vast majority', 'spec series' and 'Nando is irrational' so that the 3 chants come in and out of phase with each other and you'll find it beautifully portrays my mind as viewed from the inside.

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 So you say all those letters like an English 's' perhaps? The v/b sound in Spanish is weird too. I've been trying to learn how to do the French 'r' as well - I think I can manage the Spanish one without too much trouble but the French one is impossible. Some Scottish people make a similar but less dramatic 'r' sound to the Spanish one, which reminds me that I get confused with 'g' in Spanish: sometimes it sounds like the end of Scottish 'Loch', and other times like a proper 'g'. Yes, we pronounce "c" (the soft one, of course), "s" and "z" the same. And we usually make no difference between "v" and "b". As for the g, its quite easy. It sounds like the end of "loch" when it precedes an "e" or "i". Otherwise it sounds like a proper g. To make it sound like a proper g paired with an e or i (as in "get" or "give") you need to add a letter "u" in the middle which is silent. So you have a proper "g" sound in these cases: "ga" "gue" "gui" "go" "gu". You get a "loch" like sound in these cases: "ge" "gi". Think of the english g on "agitation" versus the g on "guilty".

elgo 1 Report post Posted October 4, 2008 Cheers. I prefer the Spanish one, which surprised me a little because everyone told me Italian was the nicest language there is. I prefer the Italian one,partly because I can notice that the original version was the italian one.You can tell it by the lyrics in Spanish,some parts are just not natural,it's obvious that it's been translated. And I think Italian is sweet and melodic whereas Spanish sounds more rude I'd say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
