Favourite/Best Song in a Language You Don't Know A Word Of

[XtinaxFan]

You love it as you mumble/mispronounce the foreign words.
For me:
Elissa - Bastanak.
May remember it from the USA Coke commercials also feat Christina Aguilera.
Also that "Flower Of Carnage" one from Kill Bill Bol 1 - end of the O-Ren Ishii fight.
(somehow I predict a lot of Japanese songs.......)

I liked O-Zone's Dragostea din tei until the internet happened to it.

[Esuohlim]

99 Luftballoons is the only song I know in another language so I guess that even though it sucks

[DuFresne]

Enigma's Sadeness

[Fathom Zero]

Esau Mwamwaya - Tengazako

cover of MIA's Paper Planes

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

champs elysees, recently in Darjeeling Limited. A real french version was a lot better than fat Mike's, hands down.

[DuFresne]

Not gonna lie: Simirik by Tarkan. I have spent many nights wandering the back alleys of Turku screaming the melody of this song.

[Dommin]

Turmion Katilot - Teurastaja.
Turmion Katilot - Pirun Nyrkki.
Ruoska - Puhe.

[BlackHexen]

Anything by MC Solaar

I don't even like that hip hop/rap shit, let alone pretty shit, but that guy's awesome

[Sacks]

Como Nossos Pais by Elis Regina. Anything by her is usually amazing though.

[Pandajuice]

I'm ashamed to admit that I like some J-Pop when I'm feeling spazzy. Especially MOVE

Ahaha. Do you listen to Ruoska? They're kinda similar. I don't know why I didn't list their song "Pure Minua" earlier on, because it's been stuck in my head for the last month or so.

[Zrazinator]

asterisk by orange range. crazy japanese (rap?)

[MadballChibcha]

Týr's Eric the Red album features some amazing metal arrangements of old scandinavian songs. Olavur Riddaros (sung in Faroese) and Ramund Hid Unge (sung in Danish) are my two faves.

[Sethomas]

If I buy an album in a foreign language I don't yet know, I read translations while reading and typically can converse in the language within two weeks.

[liquidstatik]

:rolleyes

[Sethomas]

I also forget most of the language within two weeks of not using it.

[Angryhydralisk]

Does engrish count? If so, then just about anything by Boredoms, Fuck On The Beach, or Eternal Elysium.

Lastly, the following songs:
- The Bonus Plan by GWAR (Sung in French)
- That awesome cover of "Paint It Black" from Talladega Nights. (French)
- Scyssta Rogner by Witchcraft (Swedish)
- Most Anything by Ruins (Fake Angel Language, like speedballs on crack if you ever listened to them.)
- Amon Duul II (Do they sing in German? I don't know.)
- Most of Boris (Japanese, and one of the few Jap bands I heard that actually sing in Japanese)
- Mono (NO LYRICS!)
