I've retroactively completed it tons - Japanese Karaoke. Actually that's what got me thinking, I'm about to try and learn some new songs for next trip. Surely most people can bust out something like Frere Jacque though...
So, a song an old roommate of yours used to attempt to sing, in language in which you are proficient, is not the sort of completion I'd go for if this were for credit. But learning something harder is, well, time-consuming - and I'd rather that time actually consumed by SF0 go to active tasks.
So, as the podcast folks like to say - clicky.
I love how you hit notes, and timing, but never at the same time - Sounds just like me ;->
I did say I was a bad singer...
(The weird part is, when I'm trying to sing, my rhythm suffers noticeably - even though it's fine when I'm playing an instrument. Back when I was actually in practice, I was a perfectly competent trumpet player.)
Ok, I thought that song was a bit gay BEFORE I saw that video... NOW ;->
Did Dragostea Din Tei come first?
Yeah. Dragostea Din Tei is a vaguely serious (though I think not completely so, I dunno) love song. Marica Tú us a somewhat nonsensical gay pride song written to sound a lot like they're singing Dragostea Din Tei.
It's sort of the Spanish-language equivalent of Buffalax!'s work.
Well, I have been doing that since Yellow Submarine, when I was 9...
That's a great song. It's the one I teach all my students over there for that part of the course ;->
I learned "Down under" next, I think...
A what sandwich?
Vegemite. It's really nice, so long as you remember that the OFFICIAL MOTTO of the company used to be "Too much ruins the taste". They printed it on the jars and everything....
Retrocompleted repeatedly (hell, I know the Internationale in two languages, neither of them the original French) - but I'll happily level-zero it. Even though I am a poor singer.
