Song of the Day - Wanna See u Dance ( La La La ) - Kat DeLuna

Manhattan Records

Here's the latest of a style of dance music that's kind of like a European/island feel, in the same vein as Edward Maya's Stereo Love or anything by Inna.  Good dance song!  Sizzling!

Song of the Day - No Speak Americano - Yolanda Be Cool

Blogrrrrrrr!!!!!! Well Blogger's been out for more than a day on and off and I haven't been able to post anything, but finally they're back on and back on track!

Today's "Song of the Day" is the last of our Euro Week selections and it's a recent one that I'm pretty sure I've featured here before. It's a fun tune, sung in Italian, and it did get good airplay in recent months. In fact, hot Latino rapper Pitbull created a thumpin' Spanish language version for the clubs that was pretty hot, too! So check out 'Pa Parla Americano,' or in other words, 'No Speak Americano.'

Song of the Day - Dragostea Din Tei - Ozone

I'm definitely on a Euro kick this week. The last couple of songs have all made me think of others and so I'm officially declaring this "Euro Week" on John's World: five, maybe six days of fun Euro beats. (They've inspired Britney on her new CD and some of it is hot right now, so why not?)

Today, I thought I'd share one that's real Euro, and by that I mean a Euro sound only in a whole different language! This one's sung in Romanian by a boy band from Moldavia (I know, where exactly is that?), and many of you may know it. I first heard it during a trip to Italy where it was popular and I loved it. Later on a couple of my European students were playing it on their radios and I remembered it. Even without knowing what the heck they're saying, this one is very catchy, especially the "nu ma nu ma ye" part of the chorus.

So check out O-Zone's 'Dragonsta din Tei' and enjoy Day 3 of John's World "Euro Week":





The song wasn't a big hit on the charts here, but it went literally viral over the Internet and there are many vids on YouTube of people singing along to it. Here's one of the more well known:
