Tom Williams Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The Trololo thing has an interesting -- and very human -- history. There was a vocalise (== nonsense syllable song or etude) which was written, if I remember right, as part of a love (not sex) scene in a movie, where the guy tells the girl "I don't know how to say how happy you make me" or some such. Technically, the same theme as CTA's "Beginnings." I have a pretty strong memory of seeing an old American or British film clip of essentially the same song, a few days after the Trololo video went viral. The Trololo guy -- Eduard Khil -- was an accomplished and beloved singer in USSR / Russia. He gave a different account of the song -- variously that he had written it, or that he had substituted his own nonsense sounds for a cowboy song (yes, not a typo). He won several national awards -- similar to USA's Kennedy Center honors -- before the video went viral in 2010. He died in 2012.

David Emm Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 If we were going to be on topic, heh heh, I'd say "Kyrie" by Mister Mister. Its a pretty potent synth showing for a pop song.

TommyRude Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Well this thread is meandering between absurd and sublime, all good! I'll submit one - not anything incredible for the synth intro, but this is a great song.

Synthaholic Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Zombie thread alert. This definitely qualifies for greatest synth intro.

David Emm Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I made it through about two-thirds of it, but a person can only stand so much. Pop songs converted to or from English are an entire separate category of comedy.
