Well, I don't know if anyone can possibly help me out with this. There's a song that's been playing on K100 lately, it maybe playing on stations that you listen to, as long as they play soft rock and the like. Anyways, this song starts off slow, and gets really fast. It's got spanish lyrics (I think). The only words I can remember from it are part of the chorus and are: "I said hey..."

Based on my very unsure knowledge of just where you are, I'd suggest you go look at their website and see if they have playlists posted. But, it does not appear to work.
I'd like to think you were enjoying "The Spark That Bled" by the Flaming Lips, which contains the line: "I stood up and I said yeah! / I stood up and I said hey!"
But I doubt that very much.

The song is Aserej� (a-sray-hey, misheard as "say hey") by Las Ketchup, and is also known as The Ketchup Song, Say Hey, and Hey Hah.
I concur. Although how Charles comes to know of this infernal trio is a far more interesting question. 8)

My two year old niece does an adorable dance to it.
The song though is pure evil.

The impression I get is that this is Spain's answer to the Spice Girls.
Little late, aren't they?
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Now, I have heard OF them, but never heard their songs. But aren't they super huge? I guess?
And whatever happened to that teenage Russian lesbian pop duo?

I must be the only person blessed enough to have never heard this Ketchup crap. I'm more concerned now with completing my Underworld collection at the moment.
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
Well I really like the song...
Many thanks to Charles for identifying the song.
And I coulda swore I posted a reply to this thread... Where'd it go?
Posted by Nimrod Pimding (Member # 205) on :
It's just another small artist drafted by a record company, given already-written songs and a gym membership card so they can stay in shape, breasts perkier than ever. :-) The old term "one hit wonder" springs to life. Not that the song's much of a wonder. Goes well with a pinacolada and a beach, though.

i cannot even express to you how frightening this awful concept is. i sleep fitfully in fear of it.
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
I suppose we should be grateful the record company didn't insist they re-name the song "The Catsup Song" for the American audience. . . 8)
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Why would they do that?
Posted by newark (Member # 888) on :
I don't listen much to modern rock, either American or European. I find it overproduced, oversynthesized. I prefer the sounds of a quarter century ago, where there were groups like Rush, AC/DC, Scorpions, Pink Floyd, etc. Most of the bands and singers had an identifiable sound and recorded a great many songs that were enjoyable and showed musical skill.

I reeaaally hope the kids of today won't be saying that in 2025. Oh, the decline...
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
So what about the groups like U2, The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, and Aerosmith?
Posted by newark (Member # 888) on :
I like those groups, too.
I doubt most kids in 2025 will know musical composition or be able to read music. Musical education is not as important as it once was.
Posted by Nimrod Pimding (Member # 205) on :
Maybe my point was lost, I referrrred to newark's partly true (to my taste) opinion about the music a quarter decade ago, meaning I hope the kids of 2025 won't hold Creed and Linkin Park in the same regard as we did Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath.
Of course, mommy nature teaches that there are NO recurring cycles and there are ONLY recurring cycles.

I doubt that it will happpen... by that time most teenagers wouldn't know who you are talking about to compare Newark. It's just like pop music... do we still hold New Kids on the Block in the same esteem as Michelle Branch?

You know you're getting old when you start being amusingly snobberish about current artists.

Compared to today, when any kid worth his salt knows a B minor from an F sharp diminished chord. Let's all jam!

I believe the urge by schools to get their students prepared for these scholastic tests are actually causing damage. By the year 2025, most students will be taught only what is required to pass the tests and very little less. I believe students are helped immensely by a well-rounded education. Long ago, students were taught how to debate, how to read and appreciate music, how to read another language, and so on. Now, only the more well-funded schools are equiped for these tasks. The poorer schools are doing far less and the students are suffering. The music of today reflects this sad fact. With the few exceptions not heard on radio and tv, most music is lacking in sophiscation or style.
My understanding is that some of the best rock singers and writers of the past were actually educated at musical academies or classes or by mentors who passed their knowledge down. I don't see many of the newer rock singers and writers having this same sort of background. They seemed to be selected not on talent, but rather on looks and appeal.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Yes. The Beatles were nothing like that.
Posted by E. Cartman (Member # 256) on :
No, they were overrated.

too late. Believe me I know. The exams now in the UK:
Year 2 (7Yrs): KS1 SATs Year 6 (11 Yrs): KS2 SATs Year 7 (12 Yrs): CATS Year 9 (14Yrs): KS3 SATs Year 10 (15Yrs): Some GCSE modualar exams. Year 11 (16Yrs): GCSEs Lower 6th (17Yrs): A/S levels Upper 6th (18Yrs): A levels
There literally isn't enough time to teach anything that isn't likely to be on the exam; the teachers agree that the obsession with examinations and league tables is damaging to education.
I'm doing A/S levels at the moment BTW; they are possibly the worst and most pointless of them all.
And on the music subject; I feel that, on the whole music 15-20 years ago was better than the newer stuff (which isn't too say there wasn't crap around then or good music being produced now).
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
No. It simply means that all the shit produced 15-20 years ago has long been forgotten, while the quality stuff (and some not-so-quality) was popular enough to survive. Exactly as will happen again now, and in 15 years hence.

If we are fortunate enough for this to happen, ITV would probably end up making a reality TV show about it.
