I’d much rather listen to songs in Spanish (a language I don’t understand) than any song about how great Kid Rock thinks he is and all of his songs are about that.
Conservatives: "I can't understand this guy can't they get someone that speaks English?"
Also conservatives: "BAW WIT DA BAW DA BANG DA DANG DIGGY DIGGY"
I always chuckled over people liking that song while hating on Mm Bop.
The Hanson song? What context am I missing here?
Yeah, the Hanson song. People complaining about 'mm bop' as a chorus hook while unironically liking 'ba wit da ba'.
I didn't understand a word he said, but it was still a good show. Hell of a lot better than the game itself.
I don’t understand Spanish, but i understood perfectly the visuals, the historical context, the love, acceptance, and the message.
It was superb; one of the best I've seen. With reverence to Prince, ofc.
Knowing the language isn't necessary for enjoying the music, in my opinion. There's plenty of "world music" (music outside my own country/language) that is just that. And I'm finding I like it more and more!
Here's a great example I found over the years. There is a song in the US called "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". It's alright, but the original version is from Africa. "Mbube" is the African name of the song. The versions I have heard are so much better than the English language version. The ones I know of are by Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Miriam Makeba.
Finally picked up on it when I looked up the intro music to Coming to America!
Gran Turismo actually has introduced me to a TON of great world music.
Another example that might be good is Baba Yetu, the Grammy-winning theme song from the game Civilization 4. Its lyrics are probably better known to people as the Lord's Prayer, just translated into Swahili.
For what it's worth, I'm a native Spanish speaker and can barely understand Bad Bunny sometimes. It's the Puerto Rican accent, they don't pronounce the letter S
(Not to say anything of his music, I love the song he did with Gorillaz)
