It's a legitimately good song, unfortunately since it was purely made for the game, there's no non-Simlish version. What a shame.
* Any devoted ''Sims 2'' player will remember [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prNK4RdBODs 'Show me the Way']]. It's no doubt the most easily recognized radio song in ''The Sims 2'', as one of the game's early trailers used it, and it's frequently heard during several of the ingame TV shows.
