Re: Name that tune?

The chorus also sounds like Don't Stop but in a different language (something southeast asian)

Sounds like a subcontinental cover of Michael Jackson's "Don't stop"

I think that's exactly what it is.

Third vote for a cover of "Don't stop", but in a language I don't know. The verse and the chorus sound about right.

While "never been to me" is what I'd karaoke if I were in regular clothing, this is what I'd sing if I were in drag.

Huh, maybe Ogged is right...

The verse is also don't stoppish. 3 for 3, we have a winner, and Labs is thoroughly embarrassed.

Is this an elaborate gag where you've insulted ogged in persian and are now waiting for him to listen to the track?

I can't listen to it, as I'm at work, but Usha Utthup did a cover of "Don't Stop" that was pretty popular in some circles, a few years back.

No, I count indo-pak covers as not sufficiently common. If everyone were like, oh, I have that record! I'd feel bad.

But FL's version sounds slightly pitch-shifted up. Strange.

Might be audacity, which has weird sampling-rate issues?

If it's something really common I'll be ashamed.

Are you sure you mean ashamed? There are subtle but important differences between shame, guilt, and embarrassment. Perhaps you'd feel chagrined?

OT, but you all should figure out where you stand on the "Crazy" vs. "Crazy Bitch" question:

Key graph:"As such, the difference between "Crazy" and "Crazy Bitch" creates an
ideal litmus test for how you experience popular music (and how that
experience is shaped by media). Download both songs. Play them three times
each. If you find yourself preferring "Crazy Bitch," you have been
sonically and culturally emancipated: You will never have to read another
album review for the rest of your life. You don't need criticism, because
the things you like don't require explanation. You're free. You're crazy,
but you like the way it fucks you."

I haven't listened to the songs, but I can definitively say that being a bitch means you *don't* like the way it fucks you.

24: Touche, and agreed. But you of all people should check it out. I mean, the appeal of being "sonically and culturally emancipated" I'm giddy with excitement.

Wait, there's no actual downloads at the link? Screw that. Being a bitch also means not going hunting for shit just because some dumbass at Esquire tells you to.

Chuck Klosterman isn't just some dumbass at Esquire!

He's a dumbass who's written books I like.
