Modern Talking and Boney M music is localized into Vietnamese by AI.
AI-generated music has become commonplace in this rapidly advancing digital age, with songs created by artificial intelligence becoming increasingly sophisticated and more lifelike.
Taking advantage of every moment of the year, from Christmas to Lunar New Year, AI-generated New Year's songs are created in countless variations. Sometimes it's a completely new song, but it could also be a Vietnamese adaptation of a Modern Talking disco track, with re-recorded music and lyrics. Cheri Cheri Lady has been remade by AI into a Lunar New Year playlist.
Timeless hits like "No Face, No Name, No Number" and "Daddy Cool" have been translated into Vietnamese, and the 1980s band Bad Boys Blue smoothly sings "You're a Woman " in Vietnamese…
With styles like Smooth Jazz and Chill Jazz, these channels create playlists of familiar spring songs remixed in a modern way. Of course, these are all AI creations, such as "A Peaceful New Year," "New Year's Story," "Let bygones be bygones," "Listening to the Spring," "Is the Spring Sunshine Still Here?", "Tet Holiday in My Hometown," "Spring Day of Dragon and Phoenix Reunion," "Whispering Spring," "Prosperous Spring," etc.
One channel with 17,000 subscribers re-created a Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) theme remixed in a modern symphonic style with piano, violin, cello, and strings. To encourage users to click, they further leveraged AI to transform celebrities into figures wearing traditional Vietnamese ao dai, holding apricot blossom branches, and creating a Tet atmosphere for their cover photos.
Disco and memories of Tet in the past.
The medley of disco Tet songs, introduced by the channel owner, is a Vietnamese adaptation of popular Euro-dance and disco songs from the 1980s to the present. After one month of being uploaded, the video has attracted over 1.1 million listens on YouTube, 4.2 million views on TikTok, and continues to grow rapidly as the peak of the Gregorian New Year and Lunar New Year holidays approaches.
In the late 1980s, international music began to infiltrate daily life through cassette tapes, video tapes, and other media. Songs like Boney M's " Daddy Cool," "Ma Baker," and "Rivers of Babylon ," Modern Talking's "You're My Heart, You're My Soul," "Cheri Cheri Lady," and "Brother Louie," or Kaoma's " Lambada" were considered trendy music at the time.
These Vietnamese New Year songs, created with AI, have millions of views. Not only appearing during Tet (Vietnamese New Year), European disco music has also been widely popular at weddings for many years, becoming a familiar genre for a period.
For generations, the atmosphere of spring has been associated with the vibrant rhythms of disco. Modern Talking's music was once played at weddings and during the Lunar New Year.
The AI-generated Vietnamese version of this medley evokes nostalgic memories while still maintaining a modern feel. Many listeners left comments expressing their delight. Some said the AI was used at the right time for the song to go viral, others recalled the difficult Tet holidays of the 1980s and 1990s when listening to these songs felt "cool," while still praising the Vietnamese lyrics as "not pretentious," "cheesy yet captivating," or "nostalgic but still very fresh."

Some listeners who have heard the original versions of the songs say that although the Vietnamese lyrics differ from the original, the overall sound is still easy to listen to and catchy.
Conversely, many discerning listeners noticed that these AI music videos only feature one or two accompanying instruments, and the songs sound quite similar. Furthermore, copyright issues are also a concern for them. The owner of the AI music channel stated that they cannot yet upload some Boney M songs such as "Ma Baker" and "Rivers of Babylon" due to melody copyright issues.
