Why Gaelic isn't cool

People are always bemoaning the fact that young people don't want to learn Gaelic. Well I'll tell you why - it' s because they're not seeing anything in Gaelic culture that they can connect with. And when the pinnacle of Gaelic popular culture is <a href="

To this end I have decided to write and produce a Gaelic pop-trance tune in the style of All Around The World Records called "Cuan Eadarainn", have it sung by an attractive young lady and shoot a sexy video for it. The kids will lap it up! Is anybody interested in getting involved? To start with, my fellow students in my Gaelic class are going to give me some help with the lyrics (as my Gaelic isn't that great, I've written it in English first), and once I've finished the tune I'll be looking for a vocalist.

I can't sing for shit, but I've been slowly (very slowly) improving my skills at metal. Maybe one of these days...

's e roinn dhà-chànanach a tha seo,
Co-dhiù - 's bochd nach eil Gàidhlig aig Les ramoneurs de menhirs

Anyway, it's a pity that Les ramoneurs de menhirs don't have Gàidhlig
Chunnaic mi iad 'beò' ann am Baile Roazhon bha iad a' cluich air mullach slaodair làraidh
I saw them live in Rennes playing on top of a lorry trailer.
Gu dearbh tha Brezhoneg fhathast beò!

Sgrìobh sa Ghàidhlig an tòiseach. Cruaidh, doirbh 's dòcha, ach feumail.

Tha mise ag iarraidh Gàidhlig ionnsachadh cuideachd.
An-dà, a thaobh an fhir seo shuas, ma tha e ag iarraidh a bhith "cool", feumaidh e deagh Ghàidhlig a bhith air an fhonn pop-trance Ghàidhlig aige....oir, tha e gu bhith ga sgrìobhadh sa Bheurla, agus mar sin, mur tig às an sin ach droch thionndadh Gàidhlig, cha bhi ann ach càc co-dhiù.
