I don't know if the word "Handicap" means the same in Hungarian as it does in English. After much deliberation, I have decided it would be funnier if it doesn't.

I'm trying to work out if there's a subtext I'm not picking up on, or if it's just about losing all your money on a horse.

I don't speak Hungarian and hadn't looked up the lyrics, so I was genuinely oblivious to what the song was actually about. But the greatest legends of communist Hungarian pop music, Neoton Familia, have had multiple songs that are somewhat similar in terms of recreational pastimes. "220 Felett" (Over 220) is all about how thrilling it is to drive really fast, over 220km/h. That's around 140mph so it's pretty much just professional racing:

And "Hetvegi Motorozas" is very similar, all about going out driving at the weekend:

So perhaps 1980s Hungary just really enjoyed songs about sport-related hobbies. Neoton Familia also have a lot of songs about public-domain characters and stories, such as Christopher Columbus (in "Santa Maria"), Don Quixote, and even Roman emperor Caligula. They also have a song called Sandokan, whom I have never heard of but Wikipedia says he "is a fictional late 19th-century pirate created by Italian author Emilio Salgari."

And tonight I listened to another of the communist Hungarian vinyl records that I own. This one was more prog-rock, however. The middle songs of Omega VI aren't that great, but the opening and closing tracks are proper bangers.

I think I have posted this song ("Ne Volnuites' Tyotya", by Vesyolye Rebyata) before, but it has just come to my attention that the guy in glasses with the giant pink shirt and keytar is a man named Alexander Buinov...

...who just so happens to be the same guy who sang the Russian Special Forces propaganda song that had all those memes made about it:

Once you know, you can tell it's him. I always wondered how the VDV managed to find a paratrooper with such charisma and stage presence, and it turns out he's actually one of the biggest Soviet pop stars of the 1980s. And, more importantly, not actually a Russian soldier.

This got me a little curious. The melody is old, a modern rendition:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y54DYQrqH4g

It's clearly a drinking song and the internet "Ev chistr ’ta Laou!" and I get lost. But it does sound like something you could hum along to ocataves below or beyond when plastered.

Didn't realise they did a French version. It doesn't really work but I guess that's a nice example of why languages create different music.

>>15176
Did you find the Dutch version too? It's interesting to hear how similar Dutch is to German in this song; I know they're related but the songs sound almost identical. However, the Dutch version is by Bots and the first German version that was released, according to Wikipedia, was also translated by Bots so it was all the same people. Perhaps that explains it.

Also, isn't is strange how this is clearly an iconic song in so many countries and yet it's almost unknown over here?

>>15176
>>15179
It would be remiss of us not to acknowledge that it was sampled here:

Also, the original Breton is a song about cider, so here's another song about cider:

The Wurzels is cheating. It's like cleaning windows and, of course, me combine harvester.

I need your help with unknown Belgian schlager group the Top Pops, who sometimes release Dutch translations of famous old pop songs. What was the original version of this song? It's really getting to me because I swear I know it, and unlike their other song called Alles Wat Ik Heb Is Voor Jou, or "Everything I Have Is Yours", I think this one was a hit outside the Benelux countries. The original version of AWIHIVJ was "Love Me Just a Little Bit More", released in the early 1980s by the Dolly Dots, who were Dutch but nevertheless released the original version in English.

>>15185

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.

>>15186
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.

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.
