I assumed it was Arabic, but the Arabs on Reddit told me it
wasn't. One said it sounded like Tamazight. A Redditor on
r/Tamazight told me it was Kabyle. Redditors on r/AmazighPeople
confirmed. It's 'Thilemzith thevgha atsazhu' from the 'A Yemma' album
by Djurdjura, a group of 3 young women. An Amazigh Redditor told me
that it means that young women want to have fun - they're Algerian
Cyndis Lauper.
I clipped the song from the album, uploaded it

The character Ali, Naim's lover when the protagonist shows up,
is from Algeria. I think Joe's use of an Algerian pop song is only
coincidental.
