Mp3 Monday: Treble!!!!

I got The Sims 2 last week. I suck at it, but it's very fun and so far has consumed my life. As in the first game, all the characters speak in a made-up language (presumably so they don't have to translate and re-record it for each country the game is released in) and the songs on the in-game radio station are in that language too. You know who else sings in a made-up language? That's right, it's Treble!

Treble is the Netherlands' representative in Eurovision this year. Their mission statement is that one doesn't need to understand the language of a song to understand the music, which is a good point, except for the fact that "Amambanda" is partially in English, a real language. Even so, I still like them; the idea is cute and they try so hard. This week's mp3 is one of their two other songs in the Dutch preselection contest, "Lama Gaia" (the other was "Make Your Choice"). It has sort of a Spanish feel to it.
