That One

"That One" is a song off the Every Ape and His Brother album Poss Window. It is an Anglicization of " Tой Tой " by Maria Burmaka. "That One" is the first track, beginning the album. Unlike the usual Every Ape fare, this song is similar to "As One" in terms of being a harmless adaptation of a love song.

History
The Dozerfleet founder was first exposed to Maria Burmaka's song as an MP3 brought over by exchange student Arina Tochilova. Arina left some of her music on one of the home PCs, and it was sampled from there. The founder was so impressed with it, that he made an Anglicization of it. Years before adequate online translation tools existed, there was no way for the founder to get a sufficient explanation of what the original song's theme was. (Arina was uncooperative.) Therefore, the song's theme and contents were abandoned in favor of a generic love ballad. The lyrics were forged to sound like the type of song Dido might perform, since Maria's vocals sounded similar to Dido's.

At times, the phonetics for certain lines aimed to match or closely match the phonetics of their original Ukrainian counterparts. "Squashing out all my doubt" is modified from skhozhe na mistyku ( схоже на містику, "mysteriously"); and "could sharpen all of me" is modified from shcho berehlo mene ( що берегло мене , "that preserves me.")

The "that one" in this song comes from a loose translation of  tой tой , and references the feeling that the woman gets from her new man's presence in relation to everything she'd prior been familiar with. First assembled into an Anglicization in November of 2005, it remained in the Dozault until February 26th of 2012; when it was released on the wiki for public viewing.

Story
A young woman describes how life-changing meeting a certain man was, and wonders if he feels the same. After he confirms that he does, her level of confidence escalates even higher. This was confirmed to be "not far off" from the original song's message, confirming that some themes are universal; and that pop tunes convey them in ways that are often universally understood.
