Alech Taadi by Cheb Khaled
Let’s see if anyone can figure out what that song is from!

It sounds Arabic…or Afgani. But what do I know?

Or Farsi, Urdu, Pashtu, Bengali, or Hindi,

He’s an Algerian ra singer.

So does he sing in Arabic? Clearly not French.

What’s a ra singer?

It is sung in Arabic.

The version I just saw on You Tube is in French. The song was written by a French songwriter and is sung by Cheb Khaled. It has been translated into Arabic; perhaps there are two versions since Khaled sings in both French and Arabic.

I made a mistake. It is rai singing (or rai singer) and it is Algerian music of dissent.

…of descent? lols.

It’s the song from the Fifth Element during the car chase when Lelo is first introduced, crashing threw Korbin’s Taxi Roof…
Big boom!
BIG BADA BOOM!
So many people know the beat, but can’t figure out the move it is from or who sung it.

Also, another song to add to my repertoire of “songs that make me dance\head bang\brake junk” is: The Boss Battle Theme Song from The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. It’s totally a brutal, metal theme!

mc chris ownz

My husband and I always get up and dance for the theme song to Boston Legal.

I guarantee you that no one has heard of this song, but it’s called “Certainty (Mark Otten Dub)” and it’s on the CD “A State of Trance 2008” by Armin Van Buuren.

Holy crap i cant stop listening to Slagsmålsklubben

@theloveprophet the song is actually by Julian Vincent. Good song btw.

@ Uberbatman
Wow how do you know that song?
And yeah, it is by Julian Vincent… I never said it wasn’t :)

@theloveprophet i heard it at a rave a while back. Sorry i misunderstood i thought you were saying its by armin van buuren.

This artists who goes by the moniker “Girl Talk” makes nothing but dance music. He’s a mashup artist (combines songs). SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD. People go to his concerts just to dance. He doesn’t write any of it himself, but he’s that good.

@chutterhanban My friend just sent me some Girl Talk and told me that he wouldn’t be friends with me anymore if I didn’t like it too.

Haha. Hope you do like it! By the way, you can go to his website and download the new album Feed the Animals for however much you want to pay for it. (similar to how Radiohead did it, but with less hassle)

“Old Time Rock N’ Roll” I wind up dancing all around the kitchen when this comes on.

I dont dance ever. I danced at this concert A LOT.

LOL!
@Judi, that made me LOL in RL!
I totally forgot how awesome that song was until it came up in my playlist!

@uberbatman.
I just heard the song again on di.fm and thought of this chain lol. And yeah I could see how you would think that, I did word it kind of weird. I LOVE CERTAINTY!

I seriously thought no one would EVER have heard of it on here though.
I guess my views about this website have changed :D

In The Summer Time——Mongo Jerry

That Maniac song by Michael Sembello. I heard it in a store the other day and found myself dancing down the aisle. I am not a dancer, I have never been a dancer, and I dance like your typical white male with no apparent sense of rhythm. But that song will get me acting foolish in no time flat. My wife about died laughing.
