This is definitely the original if the copyright data is to be believed, but I don't think it was released outside of Benelux. I know what you mean about it sounding familiar, but I can't put my finger on it either. I'm getting Crowded House or Scritti Politti vibes, but nothing more specific.

Unbelievable! Thank you! I can't offer you much to show my gratitude, but I can give you the original line-up of the Top Pops, which included my favourite one with the pointy nose, and also the one who looks a bit like Liz Truss looks even more like her here:

And I can also give you Soulsister, whose repertoire I started listening to when I thought that maybe it was another Belgian song after all:

Yes, of course, I didn't want to post too many versions just in case. But every metal festival, every folk festival, Igorrr is there but Son Ar Christr is being played by every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a Guitar.

Speaking of "It's just a song"

This song is in an advert again. Not just another advert, but another car advert. That's the second or third time that I am aware of this happening. No originality in the advertising industry these days. It's Peugeot this time, I think:

Give it more than 30s.

Being old looks alright sometimes, less responsibility and no expectations. I reckon we'll be alright with it because we'd just shitpost on the internet, have pets and be granny shaggers.

Cute video. Do young people really look so vain, self-centred, self-important, rushing, etc. when you get old and stop giving a fuck?

>>15326
>Do young people really look so..
I thought it was my shitty perspective but I think maybe some might do. Age is embarrassing for teens, it cuts pretense to the core.

Really sweet video, glad to have watched :)

Remember back when ISIS was getting going and someone asked them if they had a problem with Japan and it turned out the dude running the twitter account was a massive weeb who would never hurt Japan. I feel like that sometimes.

Greenlandic rock band Inuit are almost impossible to find anything about online, but they seem to have been pretty excellent. And at least their output hasn't been mysteriously purged so I can't listen to them at all any more, like happened to fellow Greenlandic rockers Anguigaq and the more recent Chilly Friday.

Gasp! Never mind; Anguigaq are back on YouTube!

And so are Chilly Friday. You can't keep the Greenlandic Inuit rock scene down.

Rubber duck song. I'll stop posting 90s techno.

There is something inherently German about this kind of electronic music.

Technically not "foreign lanaguage" since there are no words, but DJ Okawari's Flower Dance. It was huge.

I never played Grand Theft Auto IV, so I had no idea it had an entire radio station of music from ex-Soviet countries. Not only that, but it's hosted by the real Ruslana, winner of the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest with the first song she plays here, and one of the most popular Eurovision winners in history:

According to the comments, if I got the game now, half these songs wouldn't be available any more because the licences to include them in the game have expired.

Ever since Vice City, the GTA soundtracks have been consistently outstanding. As many emblematic hits as deep cut connoisseur choices.

I never got the DLC episodes but I remember being at my mate's house while he was playing them, and it had authentic non-poser 80s Bathory, Celtic Frost, Kreator and Sepultura on, I was floored. You never hear trve kvlt metal like that in movies or games.

The voice in your video is quoting a German children's song from the early days of the Internet. I've been listening to it and it sent me a bit weird.

Is there something about the Japanese language that makes its songs so soft and buttery?

It always baffles me how Modern Talking are one of the biggest bands of the '80s around Europe, but are almost totally unknown here. It must be like how Robbie Williams is completely unknown in America.

CC Catch always pops up on foreign radio stations as well; she's German too.

>>15594

Modern Talking's songs near enough all sounded the same. It's worth noting that composer and producer Dieter Bohlen, the brains of Modern Talking, has a business degree first, and some bare minimum of musical talent second. He was making shedloads of money with their music, but not on its artistic merit, but by running the duo as a business, with a keen sense of what kind of sound would sell. And once he'd found the formula, he never really strayed from it artistically. If that's even the right word.

In that sense, he was a bit like a shit Trevor Horn. Whose success as a producer and musician dwarfs that of Bohlen, because Horn actually has versatile musical talent.

I often come back to this music video. It's actually entirely organic footage from a girls trip to the seaside put to a melodic soundtrack:

There's something about it that feels very real in a way you can't quite put into words even though I was never an attractive young Japanese woman. Especially at the start where it reminds me of a young lads trip to the seaside I went on and the highlight was probably just walking along the beach and seeing all the cool shit in the rockpools along with the monkey business we got up to on the motorway trying to distract the other cars.

>>15598
That was a nice trip, cheers.
Why is it that the Japs always look like they're having a much more enjoyable experience than us Brits? There must be something more to it than greener grass.

>>15599
Japanese houses lose value over time. Imagine that.

I enjoyed hearing this on foreign online radio just now so very much that I went and looked up the lyrics. "Jei Dievui Būtų Gimusi Dukra" means, "If God Had a Daughter", and the rest of the words are like a slightly more fisherperson version of One of Us by Joan Osborne. This song is also brand new for once; it only came out a couple of weeks ago.

I know I have a perpetual throbbing boner for Hungarian '80s music, so maybe you will all hate the apparently quite famous Bojtorjan, but I can't stop listening to this song I discovered today:

>>15625
And I've just discovered another unbelievable fact: in addition to singing this song in 1989, Erika Geczi also won Olympic silver in canoe sprint at the 1988 Olympics. Bloody hell.

Laid Back are a Danish duo who have been making music since the early 80s.
