Ask Lemmy

French?

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

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

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

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)

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

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

I'm partial to Klingon Opera.

Indian Folk Metal -- Bloodywood - Dana Dan

Jane Air, Junk

Rammstein, Moskau

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

La Vie en Rose - Eddie Piaf

Ievan Polka

Du Hast - Rammstein

I think that's a pretty good spread

du

Rammstein - Du Hast

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 🙂

The whole genre of City Pop is awesome.

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.

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

Poi E - Patea Māori Club

Tanz mit Mir by Faun

• 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.

Anything from Ningen Isu.

Ningen Isu - Heartless Scat

A lot of j-pop

There's a bunch of hardbass I like that's usually in Russian or some other slavic language Mostly listen to Uamee

Asian Kung Fu Generation - After Dark

Jamal Kudu

Shchedryk (Ukranian original version of Carol of the Bells) comes to mind. Folk rhymes better with their original tongue in general

Who killed UN Owen https://youtu.be/eCyf9C6dHYE?si=IcV5ZkNFNGBexBey

Mostly songs from C. Tangana , especially the songs from his "concert" on TinyDesk.

I really like Hippie Hourrah out of Montreal - this song has been on repeat in my house for a while now:
