Flaming Lips, Pussycats in Sims 2 Pets
Music artists The Flaming Lips, Pussycat Dolls, Hot Chip lead roster of 24 artists contributing Simlish versions of songs for Sims 2 Pets.
While most of the attention is on the soundtracks of Electronic Arts' sports games, one other franchise has been pulling in big names for quite some time now. However, those big names--which include The Black Eyed Peas, Depeche Mode, and Howard Jones--aren't exactly intelligible, because they sing in a very foreign language.
The franchise is The Sims, and the next installment of the series will continue the tradition of featuring famous musicians singing songs that make Bob Dylan sound like a speech coach. Joining the previously announced teen sensations AJ & Aly will be alt-rockers The Flaming Lips, sexy songstresses Pussycat Dolls, and nerd-core act Hot Chip.
"We've always been known to jump at opportunities that challenge us to do something totally fresh that we've never done. Needless to say, recording 'Free Radicals' in Simlish allowed us to do just that," said Flaming Lips front man Wayne Coyne.
The soundtrack is as follows:
Artist / Track / Platform
Aly & AJ / "Chemicals React" / PC and Console
Brazil / "Candles Cast Long Shadows" / PC and Console
Cowboy Troy / "I Play Chicken With a Train" / PC and Console
Cut Copy / "Future" / Console

Dark Messiah just check them out you won't regret it... well maybe if you're too mainstream you will but if you're cool then they are too.

PCD members are teh saxy :) Never heard of the others.........
console and handheld are the same this rocks! they need to bring in big bands

thats alot
The Flaming Lips are the only ones that excite me. But I pretty much like any song in Sim-speech. So, YAY!
Pure and utter mental retardation. Less music and more gameplay please.
what about handhelds
don't cha wish ya girlfriend ws hawt like me don't cha wish ya girlfriend ws a freak like me don't cha....don't cha? Im lovin tat. PUSSYCAT DOLLS ALL THA WAY!!!
Oh yeah, it was kinda funny to hear "Don't Cha" in simlish during GC... :)
yawn
Huzzah, Flaming Lips, even though I won't buy this
why were there some console specific tracks, and no PC only specific tracks? ridiculous . . . oh well . . .
Wow, wasn't expecting this. It sure is going to be funny singing in Simlish.
The Pussycat Dolls doing music for the sims 2 now's thats going to be funny..
If they had some muse song's in similish then that would be a different story because muse are the best the lead singers voice is amazing and there just a great band through and through and thats the end of me BYE!!
who really care's because you aint gonna hear the actual song or if you are that sad you will try to make out the words of the song, we only care about the gameplay thats what it's famous for controlling virtual people's live's. and thats the end BYE!!
not too big a fan of flaming lips, but they are from my great state of oklahoma...so rock on.
NEATO!
Pussycat dolls singing in Simlish? OMG ... that's gonna be a heck of a mumble!!!!
Now if only they would add the feature that would let your sims play these songs with the in game instruments. I'm tried of my college bands playing the same rock/jazz/country loop over and over again.
i dont know anyone there except for teh pussycat dols

The Flaming Lips are great. Too bad they never managed to achieve the greatness of "The Soft Bulletin" again.

haha simlish music versions. that should be interesting to hear.
