Matching Stereotypical Music to Countries (Part 2)

Eddy said the most offensive word in the Norwegian language perfectly, loudly, and with conviction, while trying to imitate the words in the Norwegian song that he didn't believe was Norwegian. Also, that word is not in the lyrics of the song. Almost did a spit take when he said it. Thanks for the laugh! 😂

Petition for TwoSet to make a series where they educate themselves on the music of the different regions of the world! They could also have musicians from those regions showcase their playing.

As an American, I thought the Canadian song was American too. Mainly because the guy sounds like he has a strong southern accent and couldn't understand him saying "hockey" until the subtitles.

And "America, F*** Yeah!" made me laugh. 🤣

[FreakieFan]

For anyone's interest: "America F*ck Yeah" is a song from the film "Team America" which was made by the creators of South Park. Hilarious song, hilarious movie. It's a parody, so no this song isn't serious, hahaha.

I'm laughing and I do get why they sometimes guessed wrong. They do have an idea of which country typically sounds like or how they sound like because of the melody or the instruments that were used, but adding being colonized as a factor to some countries that really throws you off 😩

TwoSet: We're so sorry for almost causing an Irish-British war with our stupidity.
Also TwoSet: idk Scotland's probably a country by now.

The song "Zwei kleine Italiener" is about two Italians who have to work in Germany as sort of like guest workers, who just want to go back home and be with their families but they can't leave. It's really sad tbh

I would be curious to see a "guess the national anthem" by TwoSet 😌

[dotdotdot...]

"Argentina looks like a ballet foot." 💀

I can't unsee it 🤣

As a Ukrainian, I am very thankful to you for acknowledging that the "Carol of the Bells", as it is known in Europe and especially in the US, is actually a Ukrainian pagan spring folk song "Shchedryk", that later became a part of a Christian tradition and was arranged for the choir by Ukrainian composer Leontovych in 1916. After Ukrainian National Choir performed it at Carnegie Hall in 1921, the song was translated into English and presented as a Christmas carol in the US and Canada. For me, this is the most fascinating Christmas carol ever.

The reason why middle eastern and indian music sound similar, especially areas that fall under erstwhile Ottoman empire/ Persia/ the stepp, is because we were conquered by the Persian kings and people from the steph and we had significant exchange of culture and trade with the Arabic and middle-eastern kingdoms. South-east Asian music also has quite a few similarities to south indian classical music because of the influence of the chola dynasty ( a southern and eastern indian kingdom) on places like Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Phillipines and Malaysia.

4:04 As a German speaking... we don't quite have a song like this but there is a child-game-song called "Drei Chinesen mit dem Kontrabass" (which translates to "three chinese with the double bass") where you sing the song over and over but switch the vowels to only being one (like first time it's the original, then all vowels are a's, then e's, and so on). So you got pretty close there :D

10:06 Thai twosets fans we rise!! The chosen snippet is fairly traditional Thai haha its what we would call a country song that’s probably why eddy thought of karaoke lol It would’ve been interesting/funny if you guys were to hear the language too but thank you for including us! You have a lot of fans here as well eddy&brett a lot of my friends watch your channel💛🇹🇭

[littleeldar]

I'm a Thai fan and I literally laughed out loud when the music started playing 😂 It's actually traditional northeastern music, which is influenced by Laotian culture. It's usually played in the countryside or specific events. Sometimes people will dance along the music and say Heh! Heh!' lol

As a Spaniard, the Spanish songs were so on point. I could almost see either a pasodoble dance or a bullfight. I get that the sounds are very similar (I was completely lost throughout the video 😂), but when they were guessing mexico, I was like: what do you mean??? It's totally different!! 😆😆

[Q-vk]

As a non-musician I've come to realize how much I've fallen in love with music because of this channel.

You guys always upload videos around the same time I wind up my work for the day. So I started today's work knowing that you two will post something tonight. It gave me something to be excited for after a full day of work. Thank you so much

I love how Team America's parody of the country is _so_ good that other nationalities think it's genuinely serious 😂

[lacialovescats]

I'm Indonesian. Specifically Javanese. Indonesia has so many different ethnicity within one country I can't quite pinpoint the origin of that song used as Indonesian image. Javanese folk songs don't sound like that or I'd have recognized it in a heartbeat.
Anyways, that song is from Sumatra. It's clear by the vague Melayu tune in it. Dunno which specific province in Sumatra tho.

[alinalinalina]

As an Indonesian, i can say they were kinda pranked because the country is so huge and diverse each region has their own traditional music that is different from each other. By no means this is stereotypical and I don't blame them for not getting it right 😂

Edit: wow so many likes, thanks guys!

6:46 yeah! Eddy was right, cariñosa was introduce by Spanish and it passes down to different regions that also creates other version of the dance. It's actually a courtship dance which also portrays act of flirting and just by hearing the name, I suddenly remember that during 6th Grade when we performed this for a project, I kinda hoped to be paired with my cRuSh looool
