For me i’d say vocaloid when i was younger. No clue about now, maybe some russian songs like igorek.
“Fighting in Built-up Areas” by Ladytron. Sung in Mira Aroyo’s native Bulgarian.
99 Luftballons was the first one that came to mind.
I love that song
I’ve been a fan of Rammstein for many years. I know the gist of what each song means and know a few words of German. But I can’t translate word for word.
Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, though I think I heard it on NicoNico Douga before it became known as the NumaNuma Song.
A banger!
Prisencolinensinainciusol! That song rocks.
All right!
Agreed!!
Does it count if nobody knows the words?
Of course!!
I dunno, sounds like english to me.
Came here to say this. If you haven’t heard this remix yet do check it out!
Kind of a weird one, but the beginning theme to the original Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex has stuck with me.
The song is called “Inner Universe,” but the lyrics are Russian.
Wolf Totem by the Hu. In fact, their entire discography. The heavier stuff is great at the gym
Most anime OP’s I like I have no idea what they’re saying and that’s probably for the best.
Mayeeaheeeeee mayeeeaaahhooooo mayeeeeaaaa ha ha!
Dragostei din tei(sp) or so, by Romanians O-Zone?
Leek spin https://youtu.be/GCO62VNm67k
Which is actually the Finnish song “Ievan polkka” and not just scatting/jibberish as I always naively used to think
Except it is just scatting. The leekspin version and the Miku version of the song is just the scatting parts of the Loituma arrangement. The full Loituma version, Korpiklaani version or one of the many recorded versions from Finnish folk singers have the actual lyrics. They do actually include a scatted part, usually after every verse, but Loituma atleast extended it for a full verse of scatting, which the Miku version made into a full song.
For the record, the lyrics are about the main character of the song dancing polka with the girl he loves (Ieva), whose “proper” and religious parents don’t approve of the mc or dancing in general. So after they dance and go home, the mom of Ieva catches them and makes Ieva cry, the mc threatens the mom to leave them alone and professes his love for Ieva. Then they go on to dance more polka. It’s great.

Ironically, most pop is in English, whereas most pop listeners are not English speakers.
I don’t speak French and the soundtrack of the game Clair obscur expedition 33 is all in French and I can’t stop listening to it. So I have no idea about the lyrics but it sounds so pleasant to the ears.
That’s not really fair: Giddens could make coughing up phlegm sound amazing.
I non-ironically quite like the leek spin song (Ievan Polkka).
