Thai Music Video - LABANOON - Yaam (ยาม)

Song Title: Yaam (ยาม)
Group: LABANOON



This is one of the few Thai language songs I actually like to sing karaoke. It always amazed my Thai friends or coworkers when I would sing in Thai.

Yaam is a security guard. This song is the story of a security guard who is in love with a lady who lives in the building where he works, but she doesn't know he's even alive.

I love this song in particular because years ago I worked as a security guard and understand what it feels like to be a non-entity to the people coming and going.

Thai Music Video - 4-Mod

Song Title: hai jai pen tur
Group Name: 4-Mod


This is what I would call "Cute Pop". It was one of the most popular songs in Thailand back in 2004. There was no escape from the very catchy chorus of this song "Hai jai kao kuh hur tur. Hai jai auk kuh hur tur. Pen arai maak mai loy bap nee?..." It was everyone's ring tone. It was on all the cutesy commercials on TV. It was all over the radio. It was everywhere, and it was incredibly catchy!!

Personally, I don't think the girls have much real singing talent. What they have is incredible cuteness, and really good producers and writers.

I'll be posting more music from Thailand from other groups as I find them. Come back again if you want to listen. :-)
