Gotta Dance ~English Polka o Dolka~
~That's right! Thanks to DCo, I got a bunch of amusing English songs, and this one ranks right up there. I'm actually kinda pleased they kept da original basic song, but da english lyrics over it are just so hysterically bad. Seriously. I can't stop laughing.

Make a Wish ~English Chiisaki Mono~
~You know what guys, I'm sorry. I've listened to Chiisaki Mono a lot and I just can't get into it. I'm just not feeling the Chiisaki Mono magic. I know that it's orgasmic for a lot of people, but not for me. ANYWAY, as far as I can tell, this is a pretty nice English dub of it. I mean, I didn't even notice that it was done in English until I noticed the filename. They both sound very similar. In fact, I think it switches back to Japanese at the end.

Gotta Catch Em All
~From Elle again! Ya may recall I put up a club mix by 50.Grind a while ago, but that wasn't da only thing they did. This is da extended version of da song they had on a UK only CD, which Elle has bought and sent my way! WOOHOO FOR EVERYONE!
Anyway, this song totally rocks. Described as "nu metal meets Pokémon", this is great. It's got this fantastically catchy chorus, a arguably hilarious "pikapikapikachu" bit, and it's just awesome. Accordin ta da CD liner, they loved Pokémon so much they had ta write this. That makes me happy.
By da way, this is a wma file. Just a note!

And I love da english version too. Everytime I hear this, it gives me that little happy rush I get when I watch Pokémon again. It reminds me of just how much I love that game and how much I owe ta Pokémon taday. I can't hate this song fer soundin silly and overly dramatic. That's now exactly what I love it for.

It is a very inspiring song, although I would like to hear the original, I have heard Donna Summer's version for the movie several times.

Hee hee) and Ash mysteriously calls him Brocko. Or rather, HILARIOUSLY. Anyway. Team Rocket of course bursts in just ta ruin things, and they also read bits of it. Hahaha, James makes everything sound suggestive. Or ridiculous. Hee hee.
They get along fairly well in this one. I guess in a way, this is kinda a weird English equivalent of Minna de Arukou. Actually, Pokémon Christmas Bash would probably match it closer. ANYWAY.

Anyway, altho I'm not particularly good at carols, I think it goes Deck the Halls, Jingle Bells, Ol King Cole (I think), Joy to the World, ...something, O Christmas Tree, the Twelve Days of Christmas, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
