Vol. 3: Sometimes People Listen to Songs That Aren't in English to Compensate for Feeling Uncultured

I have been taking five hours of Spanish a day for a month now and have proudly achieved a first-grade reading level, and an appreciation for Manu Chao. I would guess that most people reading this blog don't understand the lyrics to songs in different languages. Listening to songs like Lady Marmalade, for example, give you an advantage, because then you know how to communicate in another language - nevermind that your communication is limited to asking, "Do you want to sleep with me (tonight?)" over and over again.

(Note: a couple songs on here are not completamente in other languages. Lo siento.)

1) Anna (El Negro Zunbon) - Pink Martini ( mp3 )
2) Me Gustas Tu - Manu Chao ( mp3 )
3) Les Champs Elysées - Joe Dassin ( mp3 )
4) La Viajerita (Zamba) - Mercedes Sosa ( mp3 )
5) Life on Mars? (Bowie cover) - Seu Jorge ( mp3 )
6) Elias - Dispatch ( mp3 )
7) Bella Ciao - Mirah & The Black Cat Orchestra ( mp3 )
8) Dokkoise House (With Face Covered) - Anathallo ( mp3 )
9) Chicago - Weit Weg ( mp3 )
10) Hoppipolla - Sigur Rós ( mp3 )
[translated lyrics to Hoppipolla - very beautiful]

I just thought the idea of South American emo was kind of funny, so here is a bonus track: Duas Lágrimas (acústico) - Fresno ( mp3 )
