Turn up the radio in the upcoming The Sims 2: Pets, and you just might hear familiar songs. Contemporary artists from around the world in rock, pop, hip-hop, and other music genres have rerecorded their songs in Simlish, the quirky who-said-what? language in The Sims and The Sims 2. So far, the 25 Simlish-translated songs EA has announced are present on the console and PC versions of the game, and they might just be included in the DS and PSP versions of the game. The Sims 2: Pets for the handhelds will be coming out late October (DS) and early November (PSP).

So take a look now at the list of songs and artists who will be included in The Sims 2: Pets soundtrack.
  • "Chemicals React" (Aly & AJ)
  • "Candles Cast Long Shadows" (Brazil)
  • "I play Chicken with a Train" (Cowboy Troy)
  • "Future" (Cut Copy)
  • "Fortuzala" (Dena Deadly)
  • "Free Radicals" (The Flaming Lips)
  • "Colours" (Hot Chip)
  • "So Glad To See You" (Hot Chip)
  • "Hit It" (Isabelle Huang)
  • "Topsy Turvy" (Jessi Malay)
  • "Unthinkable" (Joanna J)
  • "Come On Come On" (Kristen Dex)
  • "Turn Out the Light" (New Amsterdams)
  • "Dixie Dixie Where Have You Been All My Life" (Prescott)
  • "Hurt Nobody" (Prescott)
  • "Boombox Breakdown" (Ralph Myerz and The Jack Herren Band)
  • "Girl Next Door" (Saving Jane)
  • "Boyhunter" (Skye Sweetnam)
  • "I Never Know" (Something for Rockets)
  • "Wow Wow Wow" (Tanaila)
  • "Black Shoes" (The Films)
  • "The Compromise" (The Format)
  • "Topy Apa Ty" (The Netw0rk)
  • "Don't Cha" (Pussycat Dolls)
  • "Simpatico" (Touchstone)
  • "Aff Wubbas Doo" (W of P3)
Simlish first debuted in SimCopter, and Sims creator Will Wright brought it back for The Sims when he realized he needed some sort of dialogue in the game that wouldn't sound repetitive. Simlish is the result of the dev team playing around with Ukranian and Tagalog (a Philippine dialect). If you're wondering what a Simlish-translated song sounds like, below's the Sims 2 Pets video for Aly & AJ's "Chemicals React."

If you're a guy then be glad that you don't know any of those songs since they're all pansy/girly songs. I only know that 'Don't Cha' song by the *****cat Dolls because it gets a lot of playback on my local radio stations. Or atleast it used to.
