I can't make out the English words to "Hush," but I sure can sing: "Meep meep! Mush mush, eeb la jeep!"

Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.

Too shy shy, hush hush eye to eye!
It's funny, but in Sims 3 there is a kids' radio station, and one of the songs there has the same (simlish) lyrics.

I was just thinking that earlier today, after hearing the original English version of one of them for the first time. To my ears it sounded more like a song someone had written lyrics in English to after hearing the Simlish version than the other way around.


For me it was Smile by Lily Allen and Love is Wicked by Brick and Lace. I loved those songs back when Bon Voyage was the only EP I owned and those songs were a staple at the Twikki Beach Hotel. It was a huge miss that they didn't simify Pon De Replay by Rihanna for Bon Voyage.

That's funny, I just learned that one existed in Simlish yesterday and immediately had to give it a listen (my Bon Voyage disc broke somehow and I never replaced it, so I never had it installed).

I have heard most of the pop music for the first time in the Sims. It comes from a different time period where wasn't following music. Too bad the recordings are in poor quality at 128 kbit/s and likely transcoded. High quality versions can't be found. There are a few on single releases.

I've collected most of the music on albums But I've not found "Unthinkable" by Joanna J and "Angels" by Hope in English. For Hope, only one mutt-rip album from 2010 exists.



"Simlish" music reminds me time when I was a child and couldn't discern words in music and made up my own. There are websites for "misheard lyrics" with funny lines that people have heard during moments of unclear pronunciation.

Some performers include more English words like "police car", "roll call", "blame the color" and "hang around" (Suburbia / Inbuglorbia).

Or Damian Marley- 'Majaica Majaica' in 'Welcome to Jamrock'.

I always wanted to hear an English version of Go Betty Go's Very Very Rich Town, but not found one yet.

I think that one might be Simlish-only. Same with Aff Wubbas Do from college rock ('W of P3' is Walt Szalva) and 'It Wouldn't Be So Bad' from new wave.

Yes I think it might be, I've not even found a live recording of it. They were prolific playing in the bars around the area of the EA studios, but their recorded catalog isn't huge. Good band though, they recently got back together and they recorded something new last year.

The College Rock station is just pure awesomeness.

I still think of the Simlish version Katy Perry's Hot & Cold first when I hear that song.


I don't think I'd ever loaded the Fruitville Village lot before today. Oof. Why are the freezer units outside under an awning? Why are the bathrooms each big enough to hold a dance party? Why are the columns Asian and the lamps Middle Eastern? Why use the blue flower recolor of the rug when there's a pineapple recolor right there? Anyway I'm redesigning it into a mini Dole Plantation-esque tourist trap.

How many songs are in the game on that station? I see that the Spotify playlist with the English version of the songs only has 16 of them - that's way too little for how good these sound!
