If you've ever made Sim versions of your favorite band, Tegan & Sara, prepare for your satisfaction points to shoot up. The indie pop sisters teamed up with the game to record their song "Stop Desire" in Simlish, the langue of the Sims.
Tegan Quin told Mashablein an email that the band's latest single seemed like a good fit for the game because it's, "super upbeat and the lyrics are about love and desire." Sounds like the perfect soundtrack for a steamy exchange.

The result is a slinkier version of the hookup anthem. It makes sense, as Tegan & Sara follows in Katy Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen's footprints by recording songs in the Sims' own tongues.
The sisters took the task very seriously.
"I found it hard to learn the language. I was super stressed about sounding silly or making a mockery of [it]," says Quin. "I was happy in the end though with how it turned out."
Their dedication, however, did make recent live performances of "Stop Desire" a little tricky.
"Every single time we sing the song I think "Shanoyyyyy" (the word for 'tonight"). I have to bite back a laugh," writes Quin. "I cannot wait for people to hear it so I can start throwing a Simlish version around from time to time in the live set! LOL! I don't think Sara will allow for that. But a girl can dream."

Your move, Mr. West.
