Why do we like this?

Kommetjie. Can you pronounce that word? Chances are if you're South African, the answer is yes. And maybe if you're Dutch, the answer's also yes. For the rest of y'all, chances are no. And so, I'll clue you in: Kawma-key.

Unsurprisingly, this song was released by a South African band. And believe it or not, it actually captures the vibe of the just-out-side-of-Cape Town seafront "village" that they're singing about. For me, at least.
