Fascinating.

Anyone know about the practice of dubbing songs into different languages? No, not by the original artists, unless you know many oldies singers who also speak unaccented Hungarian.

Weird, man. Trying to sing along to Five O'Clock World for a good twenty seconds before I realize our words aren't meshing at all.

I hear 'em on the radio here in Germany, but it's as much a mystery to me as it is to you...

I queued up all the music on my home computer, which is primarily used by my mom who's been busy on Morpheus I see, but yeah, that came up and I was all 'Whaa?' I mean, it's not even like movies where the gist is dubbed, they're almost wholly new words set to the same music. Just wondering if this is a common practice. Do they do that with current popular songs?
