You've probably seen the video of Kate McKinnon rapping in Hungarian on The Tonight Show. I'm not gonna lie--I'm impressed. That said, I think Animal Cannibals deserve a lot more shine than they're getting as the creators this song, which is called Yozsefváros.
These guys are great! They sampled "UFO" by ESG and "Synthetic Substitution" by Melvin Bliss. Ghostface relied on that same sample five years later in what is probably my favorite GFK song.
And they seem like fun guys to hang out with. At 1:03 they're peeing in public. At 1:17 they're petting a horse. At 1:22 they have a weiner dog in a sweater. At 2:09 they look like extras from the Sabotage video. At 2:23 they have a sheep. At 2:24 they shake hands with Csecsei Bela, mayor of Budapest and owner of a fantastic Hungarian mustache.
I wish I spoke Hungarian so I could understand what the hell they're saying!

This video is fantastic.
Yo, Yo is that here we are
Now we can finally present something
This is the Yozsefváros, our farm
Here we have raised us with our Yomother
Where we together with us have a lot of stupid adults
In vain, this place has risen to our heart
You don't have your mother's palm
And children are only destroying the school
Because it is not possible to move from many Suttyas
The importance of what your hair and sweerced
Or friend you become an enemy
Here no longer counts of humanity
In a torn, ripped dress
A Ryan Gadd hanging to the waist in the trash
My question is only so much, yo, enough
This is all-all a Yozsefváros Street View
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Dark this place, three-three-three, clear
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-yo
Housing estate and Eyes
Well somebody tell me what the hell do I do
The streets are cold and the winds are silver
Romosak in houses, and dirty in the squares
A lot of theft, robbery and violence, finally
You are bound for no reason whatsoever
And if you dare to speak again, thy soul
This is how the nerve chase begins
Nonetheless I'm just saying
That I do not mind that I live here and not in the Rózsadomb
Because I'm never bored with my life
Is that I love the neighborhoods, no coincidence
Because this is the place where life takes place
Hate others, they love you
One can always trust you
The Kings of Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Dark this place, three-three-three, clear
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-yo
This is a dangerous area
Gangster District
This is a dangerous area for gangster borough
This is a dangerous area, a gangster borough
Here, death is divided into weapons
Yet we have to make peace with the idea
To replicate the crime every day
Explosion interrupt the silence of the Night
Only the strong, the weak
The one who puts it here, runs away
Bad guys dominate the neighborhood
I was born here, we grew up here
Hogy mások mit mondanak, nem érdekel
Nyisd ki a szemed, vedd már észre
Ez is csak egy kerület, Budapest része
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Sötét ez a hely, há-há-há, világos
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yo
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Sötét ez a hely, há-há-há, világos
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yozsefváros
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo
International rap has a glorious history, beginning at or about RIGHT HERE
Zman, a new Truckers blend of coffee available here
I don't think that's what they said, Marls.
Thanks Whit, the coffee's worth a try for the can alone. [waiting for can joke]
i was going to suggest that it's not too late to learn hungarian . . . but i forgot about the internet. that is a fun and groovy song.
I’m on going off Microsoft translate Zed.
All that Hungarian has apparently made English a second language for Marls.
zmother-in-law loves Hungarian salami, especially the stuff made at the local German butcher shop. She brings some over all the time and I say ridiculous stuff about her love of Hungarian salami, much to zwoman's chagrin. She still hasn't caught on.
