Kevcky haha, Smashing Pumpkins - Platgemoerde Pampoene really cracked me up to be honest! Afrikaans really is quite similar to flemish/dutch ?
domhatch er, there was this one band i heard of that was apparently quite upset with some or other police car. can't quite remember their name though...
deefstes domhatch wrote er, there was this one band i heard of that was apparently quite upset with some or other police car. can't quite remember their name though... ? Yeah, apparently they've now merged with Steve Hofmeyr and is now called "Fokkof Steve!"
Nitebob Also think about translating songs directly... "Pump up the jam" becomes "Pomp op die konfyt" ..."Thunderstruck" becomes "Donderweer gebliksem" I actually tried to translate Melissa Etheridges song "I wanna come over" but apparently there is a South African pron movie also named "Ek wil oorkom" ? I also tried "Come to my window" but made a typo and ended up submitting my new song "Kom op my venster" :roflmao:
deefstes OK, some more bands: Amy Winehouse - Amanda Drankwinkel Black Eyed Peas - Swart Oog Ertjies Britney Spears - Meraai Assegaai LMFAO - LMFGA Susan Boyle - Sanna Kookwater Sting - Steek 50 Cent - Kleingeld Foo Fighters - Foefievegters I can't seem to come up with good song title translations.

Nitebob Funny you should mention that, I realised how old I am last night when I could at a moments notice recall the theme song of Dallas and MacGyver... ???

Actually it should be "verwyder jouself polisiemotor" There is also that silly joke about Bles Bridges and Ge Korsten starting a "underground band" called Guns and Roses...
Nitebob It's like "die heuwels fantasties" Shouldn't it be, "die fantastiese heuwels" And not to sound cynical but "die antwoord"...is this like jeopardy and we have to guess the question.
