Thanks to The Sims Unleashed, I fell in love with Zydeco Music and the Southern culture, and found this AWESOME group. So thanks for being AWESOME, Zydeco Flames!
@TheMooviemooChannel It was difficult. Our lead singer, Lloyd Meadows had to re-record his vocals using the nonsense syllables that you hear instead of the real words. It might seem easy, but I can tell you it was a task. Lloyd handled it like the pro he is; quickly in just a couple of takes. He had to be careful that it never sounded like a foreign language or like immature childish potty talk. I was so glad that all I had to do was play my guitar! Freeway Frank Zydeco Flames
That is true. Lloyd Meadows and ZYDECO FLAMES recorded 5 original songs for a SIMS on vacation series. It was especially challenging for Lloyd to sing those songs because he had to improvise nonsense versions of his vocals on the spot.
I really have to wonder how many bands could handle that without breaking down in some like, unpredictable way. Like if Guns N Roses randomly had Slash freak out and start rebelling against having to speak gibberish or something.
Actually, the SIMS language is a somewhat 'real' language. A lot of the nonsense translates into words, so from what I remember - can't recall where I read it anymore, it was years ago - he had some words to follow, but yeah, he had to make up a lot too. Hama glorbinu! Yuu! lol. Sims language is nuts.

Wow, this is some great detail here! I loved sims as a kid and enjoyed unleashed soundtrack so much, it made me want to dance, and it still does. I just recently learned what zydeco is and listening to it makes me very happy! thank you for your work, greetings from Russia!
@charzarg The songs were our originals rerecorded live in the studio with the nonsense syllables added later. Songs were from several different CDs from the six we have released. Personally I was really inspired by our lead singer, Lloyd Meadows. The task of singing nonsense was really challenging, but he nailed the parts quickly. It is great to hear from you. Many people have found us through that game and contacted us. Come see alive show sometime. Peace through music Freeway Frank
Yeah I bet it was tough! This song made me really happy listening to it in the sims when I was like 6 years old. =) I'm glad this song got to be in the sims.
I had my brain nearly destroyed from the same realization. I Just kind of enjoy it. I mean it could be worse. Those weird sims 2 songs could have lyrics...
@@nopenope6034 lol! i played ts1 and alll the sims through my life. i just figured they started "sampling" real songs in ts2. i never knew it actually started in ts1 unleashed. it changes nothing.... yet it changes everything to know this...! lol idk

Yahoooo my favorite song from The Sims.

I mean he has from lesser challenges... lol.
Usually it was Axel Rose who did the freaking out in that band!

That is just awesome the band redid the songs for the game!
Zydeco is like the embodiment of a extreme happiness
This song makes me feel so happy. If this ever disappears from the internet, I will be very sad.
SIMS UNLEASHED!

Such a warm song from the childhood! Thank you!
Frank, does Zydeco Flames still play together?
yes always check www.zydecoflames.com for info
@bluesbaby123 Is there a cool festival there during the summer when it is possible to travel there?
I don't know why people prefer today's awful pop music to this!
Fond memories of Unleashed... Good luck to you guys, cheers!!
@mindtwindompeople We will come someday. I promise!
