Quand je dis le français, Québecois est que je signifie ;) (I never claimed to be perfect though ... haven't really had a chance to use it since high school)

for those that don't understand french : this sentence has no meaning whatsoever. I guess the author translated "mean" literally into "signifie", whereas it should rather be in the context "want to say" ("vouloir dire"). "signifier" is for the object (what the object means), not "I". my (suggested) correction should be : "Quand je dis 'le français', 'le québécois' est ce que je veux dire" (since the original thought now has a meaning : "when I say 'the french language', 'the québécois language' is what I mean", which cannot be directly translated). if you got lost : c'est normal. reload a savestate and replay the movie frame by frame :D

I have an idea. Let's post online songs in our respective languages.
Maybe a new thread should be created for that purpose? Here's some Finnish Hardcore Punk: http://www.mikseri.net/artists/?id=46898

Good choice. Silenced everyone :) The song at Blublu's example ("Laugardagskvold") is confusing. Most of the phonemes in the beginning of that song sound so Finnish, that I get confused trying to understand it. Only in the chorus part it sounds distinctly Swedish-style, and one can relax.

I agree. Here's a better example: CMX - Ruoste (Ruoste is rust in Finnish). It's much more poetic and diverse in my opinion. It's also damn beautiful.

Viikate does old-school evergreen inspired metal in finnish. It's slow enough that you can make out the words easily: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x31ib5_viikate-viattomien-lasten-paiva EDIT: Actually this is rather similar to Brushy's choice, just heavier. :)
