...Whom did you think it was ?

Rough translation of lyrics:

"I can't control myself
I'm very angry
Don't make fun with me, friends,
I'm somehow mad today

(X2)

If only you knew how it feels,
That one day you go mad as well,
People are all strange,
You should see the world like that

(X2)

I can't control myself
I think I've gone mad
I'm talking strangely
I'm in a situation that you can't recognize me.

I can't control myself
I'm very angry
Don't make fun with me, friends,
I'm somehow mad today

I can't control myself
I think I've gone mad
I'm talking strangely
I'm in a situation that you can't recognize me.

I can't control myself
I'm very angry
Don't make fun with me, friends,
I'm somehow mad today

If only you knew how it feels,
That one day you go mad as well,
People are all strange,
You should see the world like that"

Should I add [/sarcasm] or..cultural differences again?

[IrishArmenian]

I always thought the Americans did that. Rock and Roll has to be one of the greatest cultural fenomenons ever. It is a mix of Blues, Swing and sometimes Country, thus erly Rock & Roll is the one of the greatest American contribyutions to the world. Odd find, though.

[Strike For The South]

it was the Americans. Southern Americans. ANyone who says otherwise is wrong.

[LeftEyeNine]

You two guys are serious about what you say or do I really have to put a BIG sarcasm code there in my first post..

Oh my..SFTS you are disappointing me.

[Reverend Joe]

Who invented rock-n-roll?







Crazy people.

[Quietus]

Funky rhythm guitars...check.
Grating rock guitars...check
80s synths...check.
Carlos-Santana lead guitar...check.
sing-song rapping...check.
Macarena dancing...check.
Kurt-Cobain lyrics...check.

Eclectic.

[IrishArmenian]

Must've blown rite past said sarcasm note. I think Chuch Berry invented Rock & Roll. You can never go wrong with Chuck Berry.
Strike: It was mostly the Black Southern Americans. They were from the Sowth but came to Chicago and signed to Chess Records. They incorporated the Modern Jazz Tempo into Blues music.

[Louis VI the Fat]

For the love of God, LEN, tell me you're taking the piss...

I thought you said the Armenians did that for a moment

[IrishArmenian]

Yes, because there are so many Black Armenians. Hehe, that would be very funny if someone else sed that and I read it.

Ha ha ha, this is great!

Out of all 11 replies, I've burst into tears of happiness after seeing this post of Dariush. I knew it was something related to East-West way of perception.

Eastern humour has as of now officially been weighted, measured, and found wanting.

I must admit that Turkish music has a special place in my heart… ever since my friends bought me a Tarkan CD long ago.

It seems as if you want to be one of those fallen in the next video clip of Gençkan ?

Gençkan has our bodies and souls. Who's Tarkan to be mentioned here ?

You just killed my favourite stereotype: All Turks love Tarkan.



Hey, how old is that Gençkan track?

[lars573]

I didn't even watch the clip. Don't plan to either.

[LeftEyeNine]

First of all, the video was shot for serious. It is no "let's make a prank video" stuff.

Secondly, that should be taken around late 80's or early 90's. I predict so due to the quality level of the video shot and the sheer heavy metal influence (..well at least he tried to dress so..ahem..)

He's not known at all today. He's just an urban hero after being discovered lately through this video on Youtube.

His very envied talent is the ability to get electro guitar sound from a classic one. His oversized leather jacket and killer looks follow after.

Tarkan? Well he is a popstar indeed. Many of the best tracks contributed to Turkish pop music are signed by his voice. His "Karma" album was a throughout lecture about how far quality a pop album can reach.
