A number of the artists we feature on the site have contributed their music to the world of The Sims. The Sims 2 Seasons Expansion Pack features moe., Gov't Mule, The String Cheese Incident, the Breadbox Band and others performing their music in Simlish.
SCI's Kyle Hollingsworth, explains, "Being well-versed in improvisation, we felt up for the challenge of re-recording our song, 'Close Your Eyes' in Simlish. The Sims' language may be a bit unfamiliar, but musically it actually translates fairly smoothly; its cadence is quite musical." In addition to String Cheese's "Close Your Eyes" The musical selections also include the Mule's "Mr. High and Mighty," moe.'s "Blue Jeans Pizza" and The Breadbox Band's "N."
