"We Hate It..." cover in Catalan

From Jordiet Sinistre:

The Spanish label Acuarela Discos released on late 1998 the compilation "Lujo y Miseria", with several unknown Spanish bands, and one of them made a really curious cover: "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Succesful", renamed as "�s odi�s quan els amics triomfen". It�s sung in Catalan, the language spoken by more than 7 million people in Spain, and it�s covered in a certain funny techno-pop style... it�s such a curious cover that even features some bits taken from the 1966 (?) song "La la la", winner of the Eurovision song contest...

I don�t know if this was posted before, but now Acuarela records has re-made their website (it�s available to check in English), which can be found at www.acuareladiscos.com

This is the kind of info we need more of on this site! Infact, I know of an Icelandic group that covered suedehead, using their voices instead of instruments and replacing the lyrics with tribal chants.

What the...?

talk about universal, like if a t.v fell from
the sky in the stone age,would they bow down and worship it?

i have a bootleg copy of the brodsky string quartet's breakneck version of 'how soon is now'. actually it's not very good, but if anyone's interested, i'd be willing to listen to offers.

And what about the a capella version of "Money changes everything" by the A-teens?

How exciting!
