99 luftballons and other songs you know better in a foreign language than your own...

[cookiepuss]

does this happen to anyone else?

99 Red ballons came on the radio today and I realized I knew the german words for the song better than the english. I do not speak a lick of german.

I remember so clearly when I was growing up, having Nena on vinyl. one side was german the other was in english. obviously,liked listening to the german side better.

Somehow i know the sugarcubes "birthday" better in icelandic than english, too.

hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Hast du etwas Zeit für mich.........

[TAL]

what a dumb thread this is. how many songs are actually in two languages? and now i have to list the songs that i know better in another language... what? even if my first language was english it would be pretty difficult to say something meaningful on this topic. what a dumb thread.

Nobody understands that though, they just see three words in the title and they sort of guess what it might be about and then they just write some random stuff that might remotely be connected to the three words in the thread title that they recognized and then I'm supposed to read it and think it is very interesting and add something to the discussion like "i know a song in spanish and it's very good" when that isn't even the topic of the thread and then when I say it sucks people say noooooooo YOOOOOUUUUU suck!!!! your threads are so lame! at least, 119,982408326402% of them!

I don't know, it seems like the people on this board get more retarded by the day.

I LOVE las Ketchup!

[cookiepuss]

There aren't many songs with 2 language versions. This thread sucks.

it's QUALITY not quantity dudes.
and just because you don't know about them doesn't mean they don't exhist.
:rolleyes:
but since this thread sucks, I'll pose a new question, if your native language is english how often do you listen to/sing along with songs that are in another languages.

[CiaoBella]

I listen to all types a music where I have no clue what they are saying

Ramstein
las Ketchup
Lou Conte
tons of Spanish because I love the beats

I know a lot of songs in spanish, but that's my own language. Well, I know some songs in another language.
Protége moi - Placebo
Shima Uta - Alfredo Casero (Even he's a singer of Argentina, he sings this song in Japanese)

you're always on my penis.

If everyone that told you that you're mildly retarded most of the time was "always on your penis" you'd always be out getting laid instead of making lame threads on here 18 hours a day. Nice try though

[King of Rock II]

nobody ever tells me i'm mildly retarded. that's probably because i'm pretty intelligent.

all you do is follow me around on this board and make lame comments about every single thing i say. you're definitely on my penis. i shouldn't even acknowledge your existence. somewhere you said your "smart ass, sarcastic side" was all that shows in your posts.. if you meant that, i wonder how much more of a retard you actually are in real life.
