(no subject)
I like the mp3 memes. I'll do a first-lines one, and just for my beloved readership, I'll limit myself to one Gaelic song, and skip any that come after the first to pop up (ETA: actually, I ended up skipping them all. Seemed unfair, as I don't think *any* of you lovely folks speak Gaelic!). I also skipped things in German, since I don't speak it well enough to know the lyrics myself, and anything where the title was the first line.
So tell me, what's the song's name and artist?
ALSO, I've decided that I'm going embed videos as people guess the songs (at least for those songs that are on youtube!). Enjoy!
