Pizzicato Five, ahead of their time (and if you think you’ve heard this song before but aren’t sure where, it was lovingly featured in a “Futurama” episode)
I been listening to a lot of Suba, a Serbian-born guy named Mitar Subotić who became one of the top producers in Brazil. It’s electronica, but with a lot of hip movement.

This was hugely popular once upon a time. I had the extended-play cassingle in the 80s. Galbi is also a Korean term for bbq’d beef ribs, so I should get double points:
Around the same time I had this vinyl LP, like half of America:
Before that I lived in Central America and this catchy tune was playing everywhere. I had the 45:
“Avispa” is the Spanish word for wasp and is related etymologically to the Italian “vespa”, both from Latin. Those sporty motorbikes are called vespas/wasps because of the noise they make. The more you know.
I first heard this song on a video somewhere (before youtube took over) displaying amazing Thierry Henry highlights and fell in love with it (obviously for the sound). About five years later I befriended someone from Turkey, played the song for him, and asked him what it was about. His response:
“gangsta crap”
…and he never ended up telling me what it meant. I still love the sound of it:

I don’t know what’s going on in this clip, and I don’t understand French, but I like to sing this one in the shower (with choreography, of course).
