Vikinor Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I was listening to the radio last night and my favorite song came on. It was so awesome.

I dunno, ask the people who listen to Nirvana and Snoop Dog! (Oooh, BURN! Wait a second, I like Nirvana...crap...) But seriously, you said you were jamming to the music in your room right? Other Americans also listen to music to dance, not to actually listen to...if you understand what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrylic Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Originally posted by VikingLarz Who requested? Me You actually like that song? Even if you have no idea what they're saying? O...k... I listen to a lot of foreign music. Like Yugoslavian, German, Greek and French. (Only French rap, as suggested by a friend. I'm not French ) I can totally understand the Yugoslavian, and I can understand about half of the German music, and I can't understand any French music, and I can't understand any Greek music either. Music is music, no matter what language it's in. It can be good. It can be bad. Doesn't matter what language it's in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I am so sick of this song. Ergo, it's natural that it be played to death on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jebbers Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 i really dont listen to the lyrics of a song(s), i listen for a good beat...it doesnt even matter to me where it comes from as long as its a good dancing beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikinor Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm like Acrylic. I like foreign music. I listen to Swedish music, German, obviously Romanian, Japanese and others. I don't really understand any of it(except for some of the Swedish) but it's got some crazy beats you won't find here in the U.S. I was just surprised to hear it on the radio on a top hits station. And I halfway agree with you jebbers. I like the beats. I just don't like a song with a beat that has the word **** for every lyric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 What makes you think people who don't listen to boyband dance pop automatically listens to rap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Myself, I like lyrics. It's easier to understand the flow of the song when you can follow the words. Plus, they do add something to the song which musical instruments just can't. Imagine Led Zeppelin's Achilles Last Stand, Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb, or Beatle's I Am the Walrus without lyrics; they'd be worse off. SKA music is entirely different though, I just listen to the beats on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is that directed at? I do not like rap. I can't understand it. And there are some rock songs that do say **** a lot. I can actually sing the Dragostea Din Tei songs lyrics for you people.

Rogue15 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 i love foreign music. or music in different language. rammstein is my favorite. also that puerto rican dance stuff is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Originally posted by Tyrion SKA music is entirely different though, I just listen to the beats on those. And classical too. No lyrics, only music and yet it's amazing sometimes. Originally posted by VikingLarz Who is that directed at? I do not like rap. I can't understand it. And there are some rock songs that do say **** a lot. I can actually sing the Dragostea Din Tei songs lyrics for you people. Wait, so you don't understand rap, yet you do understand romanian... More heavy metal bands then rock bands use the f word, if that's what **** means. Originally posted by Rogue15 rammstein is my favorite. Rammstein is just awesome. And if you're wondering, although my german isn't perfect, it's good enough to be able to understand the lyrics. BTW, I thought humanity evolved beyond the BackStreet Boys or N'Sync and realized dance/pop boybands are awful. Damn 90's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Originally posted by lukeiamyourdad Wait, so you don't understand rap, yet you do understand romanian... I dont think he means he can understand it, it just means that he read hte lyrics and is able to pronounce the words. Or, he could be Romanian, or took a course on learning Romanian. Who knows. Until he answers, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikinor Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 I can pronounce the words. And the four *'s where edits of the f word. Not that I don't tolerate the f word I just dont like hearing it in a song every 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
