Hello there and welcome back!
Ever since I've been a kid and have just discovered the world of music, I had some curly ideas. A friend of mine and I fell in love with the BomFunk MC's Freestyler. And because we had tape recorders with two slots we started a great project. We were going to translate that song to Romanian and so start our career in Bacău, in Romania and then worldwide.
20 something years later, in Cologne, a guy turn the radio stations on fire. For the last few weeks a mosaic song has been played continuously. Adel reinvented the wheel, took 29 quotes from famous songs and dove in the German music market.
Below I will translate his lyrics into English, so enjoy!
