Well, my dear friends from the US and Canada … why should you be better off than the poor Germans? This song from hell was number 1 in our charts for months … and number 2 was the same song, but by an Italian band called Haiducci. And in between airings of the video, there would be ads for the ringtone … argh! It only went away recently, and now I know where it went … hehe. I like the video, I think it is best described as “Christopher Street Day at Air Romaina”. ---

You think you have it bad? I ordered the O-Zone album ‘DiscO-Zone’ just for that song and had it shipped from the US to here (South Australia). **Yes, I ordered an entire album because of that one, incredibly addictive tune.** Actually, I do like the whole album, so it was worth it. 😃 ---

It’s been several _days_ now. I’ve still got that fucking song looping through my brain. Goddamnit, I’m in mai-la-HELL here. I’m in numa numagony. What kind of _Sick_. _Bastard_. would lure hapless dopers into a thread promising good clean amusement and weirdness, only to have them be exposed to the most virulent mind-virus ever exported by Byzantium. That is _dirty fucking pool_, my friends. I hope you’re happy. Yeah, I hope you get a big laugh out of this. You’ve ruined my brain, you sadistic creep. When They finally come for yours, I hope they eat it slowly, so you can see how it feels. ---

Dear Demonspawn et al: I can certainly appreciate how misery loves company. But you are missing the point. These Euro “summer hits” more often than not pass unnoticed through the collective consciousness of the US. Sure, some dance club folks might be familiar with them; I don’t know. But for the vast majority, we have never heard Haiducci or Gunther or Schnappi or any of that bilge. I would have lived the rest of my natural life in ignorant bliss if I hadn’t followed that GODDAM LINK! GODDAMMIT OVER HERE! The floor is now open to ignorant bliss jokes and observations. ---

> [@tisiphone](#): > > Said by a representative of the nation that gifted us with Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Menudo and the Backstreet Boys. There’s a difference between “young and cute” and “cutesy.” “Cutesy” crosses an invisible line into the realm of cloying, sickening treacle. A singing crocodile who has the voice of a 6-year-old is “cutesy.” Anything that involves pink and white kitty cats and bunnies is “cutesy” (I was on a flight from Detroit to Tokyo, and the young adult Japanese folks sitting next to me were using a calculator adorned in this fashion. You wouldn’t be able to sell those in the U.S., at least not to anyone beyond 7 or 8). And please, you can’t blame Menudo on us!! :eek: ---

They sing about “bailar” (dance) and fiesta (party) instead of “Allo, salut”. Yeah, real great satire: the title translates as “Who’s a faggot? You’re a faggot!” ---
