Things definitelly make more sense now :) and, you know z2xc5v… the entire gaming thingie was totally confusing for me (not that it's less confusing now but I have an idea :D )


Wikipedia says that Basshunter wrote the Swedish lyrics out of embarrassment because he created a bot to keep order in his channel #BassHunter.se and he saw a new user with administrative capabilities named Anna enter the channel, and thought this was the bot. (this doesn't help my confusion but okay)

And, later, he learned that Anna was
actually not a bot, but his friend's girlfriend.


The Dutch version, by De Gebroeders Ko, is actually about a boat called Anna although he knew the original wasn't about boat but bot…


Gebroeders KO - Boten Anna


And here is an English version of it


But there are supposed to be two versions by him.. second version being about the boat of Sinterklaas (Saint Nicolas).

Gebroeders Ko - Sinterklaas Boot


All in all, I prefer the story from the videos in my first post :)

The first thing I thought about the bot song was what a lovely chiasmus “Hon heter Anna. Anna heter hon.” is. To much studying…

And who sees so that (maybe “looks after so that”?) we'll be without trouble


It definately put the channel “ur balans” (literally out of balance, but not sure if you can say that in english….)

I would go with watches over, sees to it that, and you could say off-balance or, slightly more colloquial I think, off-kilter. =]

i already heard that dutch Version…and the two version are quite stupids xD

One is about our Santa, and the other one is about a boat -.-”


Now, i just saw in a video, a performance of basshunter in the Nederlands, and he sang the “Dutch version” of boten anna…and my surprise, the lyrics were the same that the Gebroeders Ko`s Boot Anna…so i think that probably the accepted dutch version on Boten Anna is that one…The other one that i mean, is named like “Het klinkt heel bot”, and well, after i paid attention i realized that the theme….is quite sexual…so it wasnt the original dutch version after all xD


I still like the swedish version more than others, but its good that i can almost sing something that i can understand, even if is a stupid song about Sinterklaas or Anna the Boat xD


btw…do you know that boten anna is acussed to be a plagiarism of another two songs? i already heard the other songs…and they are very similar O.O


Ciao!

Welll, here is what I've found on the subject

“Pretty Rave Girl is a remix by Australian dance music artist DJ S3rl ,
appearing on his self-titled album. The song is a remix of Daddy DJ's
track “Daddy DJ”. Then later the song Pretty Rave Girl got copied by
the swedish artist Bass hunter, he call'd it DotA, later me made the
track in english with the name All i ever wanted.”


Daddy Dj - Daddy Dj


Basshunter - Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA


Ah well.. I still prefer BassHunter's versions… Money mouth
