Primarily for rikchik and bookishfellow
The whole Latin song thing was too much fun, so i'm going to do some in Rikchik.

Darn. While I think I've got it translated right, I have no idea what the song is. I'm assuming this is some moderately recent popular genre?

Also, for some reason, "front" lost its aspect. From the file name I infer it should be "includes;" or am I missing another nuance of Rikchik grammar?

[cnoocy]

Hmm...
moderately recent: not particularly
popular: no
genre: no

I think the album it's on is considered influential, and the album does contain one unlikely dance hit.

Feel no concern about using the web for research. I don't know your musical tastes, so I can't guarantee you know any songs in my extremely varied set of music. You can also post your translation here and see if anyone who glances at the comments knows the song.

I'll fix the aspect. I just mistyped it.

I'm guessing based on context that it's Laurie Anderson. Not that I know the song.

[cnoocy]

Context? What context is leading you to guess it's Laurie Anderson? (Not revealing whether or not it is...)

[mrmorse.livejournal.com]

It was the combination of the unlikely dance hit and your response to rikchik's comment about being embarrassed if it turned out that he had the album.

After that it was just a lucky guess.

[mrmorse.livejournal.com]

I was right. "Born, Never Asked" off of Big Science.

[rikchik.livejournal.com]

Nicely done! I wish I had connected "Unlikely dance hit" to "O Superman", perhaps the most unlikely dance hit of all time.

I also wish that, having had this idea on Sunday afternoon, I had had a chance to do it first :P

Nothing's stopping you (or anyone else). We can trade back and forth. Fill our mutual friends' friends lists with Rikchik song lyrics! Bwa ha ha!

I think I'll do all mine at once, like I'm "supposed" to.

[cnoocy]

In that case, I'll continue doing mine.

Like bookishfellow, I can translate it but I don't recognize it.

"Everybody wants to know (be taught? learn?) one thing. That thing is, what's behind the curtain?"

I'll be very embarrassed if it turns out I own the song.

[cnoocy]

I'll be very embarrassed if it turns out I own the song.
Heh.

I've used "want to learn" as an idiom before.
