Re: Theory about " The way you show"
Sounds legit. She's having trouble googling the lyrics though, can anyone assist?
Re: Theory about " The way you show"
Interesting observation.
If you mean the lyrics to the Boards of Canada song The Way You Show, then you won't find them online at all. Or probably anywhere.
The only lyrics (technically) that we have confirmed so far for this song is the "yahoo" that's been sampled and pitch shifted down from Kool and the Gang's song Celebration.
The voice certainly does sound like those Arabic phrases. It's the best fit of what it's saying I've heard yet.
I wonder if the voice saying "way ya show" is also saying something in Arabic. It wouldn't be the first time BoC has named a song from a "misheard", for lack of a better word, sentence. (The title Rue the Whirl comes from the way the cute kid sampled in From One Source All Things Depend at 56 or so seconds in, said "God is somebody who rules the world")

Also, I wonder what happened to this girl's mic during recording. Towards the end there is a section where I could barely hear her.
Re: Theory about " The way you show"
I just noticed that in part of the song the same voice sounds like it's saying "Yahweh" which is the Hebrew pronunciation of God's name.
Yet more weight added to this ladies video.

Quite interesting... Re: one lyric apparently translating as "May the name of the Lord be upon you" - BOC are certainly no strangers to using samples with religious connotations. Perhaps it's on to something.
The idea of Kool & The Gang's 'Celebration' being mashed with Arabic praise is brilliant in itself... That's one very joyful tune

I always thought the song "We've Started Up" had the Arabic in it. It's not certain, but the yelling and vocals at the beginning always give me that vibe.
Chirst. also sampled what seems like Arabic as well in his early 90's releases with the song "Ritalin". I'd guess similar styles are to be assumed, since these three artists seem to be on the same wave length.
