For me i’d say vocaloid when i was younger. No clue about now, maybe some russian songs like igorek.
99 Luftballons was the first one that came to mind.
I love that song
The prettiest song ever about nuclear war.
There were A LOT of songs about nuclear war in 80s music. German youth in the 80s was very aware that in nuclear war Germany (being a huge part of the east west border) would just be ground zero to be vaporized in WW3.
Thinking about Germany people associate the Autobahn, what some don’t know - there were pre-built detonation chambers so key sections and bridges could be mined with atomic demolition munitions in order to stop the east bloc tank armies from advancing.
ChatGpt translation of the song lyrics:
When in the Canale Grande submarines drop anchor
And on St. Peter’s Square in Rome missile launch pads stand
When a carpet of bombs floats over the bazaar of Ankara
And from the hills of Olympus a Pershing II risesThen everything is long too late
Then, when nothing works anymore
Visit Europe
As long as it still standsIn front of the old Cologne Cathedral a mushroom cloud rises into the air
And the sky is filled with the scent of neutron waffles
When in Paris the Eiffel Tower bows westward in a final salute
And near Big Ben a gentle Alpine glow appearsThen everything is long too late
Then, when nothing works anymore
Visit Europe
As long as it still standsWhen haute cuisine turns into a witch’s cauldron
Where the cook from overseas flambés his old world
There’s laughter and applause, even the waiter gets a kick
What’s left to us but culture — we wish you bon appétitThen everything is long too late
Then, when nothing works anymore
Visit Europe
As long as it still stands
Yes, then everything is long too late
Then, when nothing works anymore
Visit Europe
As long as it still stands
As long as it still stands, as long as it still stands
As long as it still stands, as long as it still stands
Prisencolinensinainciusol! That song rocks.
Agreed!!
Does it count if nobody knows the words?
Of course!!
All right!
Came here to say this. If you haven’t heard this remix yet do check it out!
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 hear it on NicoNico Douga before it became known as the NumaNuma Song.
A banger!
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
My first introduction to them was Yuve Yuve Yu, also a banger.
I got a little hyper fixated on throat singing one week and they popped into my feed. Bike rides and road trips have never been the same.
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.

(With subtitles in English)
That’s not really fair: Giddens could make coughing up phlegm sound amazing.
Most anime OP’s I like I have no idea what they’re saying and that’s probably for the best.

Which is actually the Finnish song “Ievan polkka” and not just scatting/jibberish as I always naively used to think
Except, it is mostly scat/jibberish! Just in Finnish! Most of the song is nonsense lyrics.
Mundian to Bach Ke by Punjabi MC (and famously remixed with Jay Z)
You can’t hear it from there, but I am screaming in non-native English speaker.
Or, to put it another way, every single song you know released before 1995
Polish cow song. The melody itself is from another song, “How long - Lipps, inc” apparently. But both songs do well with that beat.
