CaptainMikeRS Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 godzilla-blue oyster cult has some Japanese Same with Mr. Roboto by Styx (which is in fact a favorite song of mine regardless of what others think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 The Clash-spanish bombs,The Clash-Should I stay or should I go now? Oh, I wouldn´t suggest "Spanish Bombs", they put spanish words here and there but they don´t mean mucho... "corazon", "yo te quiero" and that´s all...

edna Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 The Stranglers in LP "Feline"... one of them is french so I remember there is one or two songs with french lines. Also Blondie, not only in "Denis denis" but also in... tss can´t remember... it´s in the last compilation. I have it home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 That´s CCR style... but it´s whole english, though... "Proud Mary" is still worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Maybe you´re right there, I feel like an old hippie when I´m searching for CCR albums... They´re not as popular nowadays as other bands like Cream, for instance, though I think they still are one of the greatest in rock history.

Lizzie Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Mele Kalikimaka: Hawaiian/E It is an old Bing Crosby Christmas song about Christmas in Hawaii. The Andrews Sisters are also in the song. ~Lizzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Sure! It´s not English as far... Another thread made me remember about Falco, he sings half in German, half in English... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hmmm INteresting. Since Hawaii is part of the United States, could it be considered a Foreign language? Oh, good point. Well, it is a different language! ~Lizzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted December 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I may be poking a little fun at CCR, but I feel that they are one of the most underappreciated band. THey were pretty popular, but it doens't seem like they get recognized on many "lists". I couldn't agree more ! Most of their songs are Classics. The Best Band to never have a US #1 (5 got to #2).

OLD 55 Posted December 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 New Seekers? New Seekers? NEW SEEKERS?? Surely you mean Melanie?? Yes Neil. I don't know if Melanie released "Look What They've Done To My Song Ma" as a single??? She wrote 2 other songs that were also covered by the Anglo/Australian group, "Beautiful People" and "The Nickel Song". They're probably best known for "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" which was adapted from a Coke commercial. Also they did a great medley version of the Who's " Pinball Wizard/ See Me, Feel Me" from TOMMY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 What's this about "Iko Iko" being Afrikaans? We need some Songfacts on this one. Anyone have info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted December 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 What's this about "Iko Iko" being Afrikaans? We need some Songfacts on this one. Anyone have info? Happy New Year Carl. No, I was wrong with this - there's no Afrikaans at all. A bit of Cajun from the deep South in the girl group versions, but it IS based on an old African lament about slavery in the African cocoa trade. Of course it's now best known as a children's song.
