Ask Lemmy

some of the ones that spontaneously come to my mind are:
- 99 luftballons
- Ievan polkka
- Cannabis
- Naruto's second opening

La Vie en Rose - Eddie Piaf

Ievan Polka

Du Hast - Rammstein

I think that's a pretty good spread

I'm partial to Klingon Opera.

Cocteau Twins. I'm pretty sure she just gave up using actual words entirely at some point.

Rammstein - Du Hast

Jane Air, Junk

Rammstein, Moskau

Afterhours, Vedova Bianca (There's an English version that was used in Mr. Robot)

du

French?

• Florina - Va Va Vis
• The Longest Johns - Santiano (only partly in french, but damn bro)
• Cedric Watson - La Vieille Chanson De Mardi Gras

Too much kpop and jpop to list, but Kent (swedish) has a lot of good songs: Stanna Hos Mig, 400 Slag

The whole genre of City Pop is awesome.

Great thread - I'll throw in a few although I'm late to the party.

Gaspar Nali - Abale Ndikuwuzeni

Anything from the Afro-Cuban All Stars or Buena Vista Social Club albums

Orchestra Baobab - Sey

Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor mix)

Lexicon Avenue - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix)

• some chill, maybe non-angsty rap

• Ievan Polkka

• Коробейники

• 跟我在一起 the number of 天s in this song hits the feels.

Asilos Magdalena by Mars Volta

I like all their stuff, but that’s the only one I can think of that is completely in Spanish

Tanz mit Mir by Faun

Indian Folk Metal -- Bloodywood - Dana Dan

There are a lot of operas that I thoroughly enjoy that are largely in Italian that are just incredibly moving. Pavarotti singing Pagliacci is insanely moving, as one example.

I have an entire playlist for this. But the my favorite ones are

Pretty partial to Japanese pop myself. I'm learning Japanese partially so i can understand the songs. Yoasobi's songs are a good general recommendation, I would recommend Yoru ni Kakeru, Gunjou, and Seventeen.

Ederlezi

Rammstein - all songs 🙂

Anything from Ningen Isu.

Ningen Isu - Heartless Scat

The entirety of NieR and NieR Automata's vocal tracks. Most of them are actually just gibberish.

ATARASHII GAKKO! My uncle told me to check them out and I've like them a lot.

Asian Kung Fu Generation - After Dark

Ichiko Aoba - Windswept Adan. The whole album is magical.

Nanook - Ingerlaliinnaleqaagut

A lot of j-pop

I would normally just go with an Infected Mushroom tune (there are a few in Hebrew like Lost in Space which also has Arabic at the end), but I challenged myself to think beyond my regular playlist, and Disko Partizani was the first that came to mind (partly in English, but otherwise in Romanian, I'm pretty sure).. Great tune and it's been ages since I gave it a listen, so thanks for the reminder!

I'm sure there are more examples, but my mind is drawing a blank right now.. This is going to bug me all evening lol

Dude so many! I'll link some favorites old and new.

All things Rammstein. I speak an elementary amount of German so maybe this doesn't count. If you only know Du Hast, you really should check out more of Rammstein. These are a few of my recent favorites. (each video is probably nsfw if you have a puritanical office.)
