Ask Lemmy

Indian Folk Metal -- Bloodywood - Dana Dan

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

Poi E - Patea Māori Club

Rammstein - all songs 🙂

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

French?

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

Rammstein - Du Hast

du

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.

Tanz mit Mir by Faun

Anything from Ningen Isu.

Ningen Isu - Heartless Scat

Jane Air, Junk

Rammstein, Moskau

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

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

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

• 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.

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

Ederlezi

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.

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)

I'm partial to Klingon Opera.

I've got quite a bunch, in multiple languages and genres. Here are a few. Let me know what you think.

Jonas Dichoso - Empilight

Anything by kælan mikla out of Iceland is good. Definitely Draumaudis/dream dance

Aural Vampire from Japan is a lot of fun too. Hard to pick just one. But kerguelen vortex is a good starting point.

Rammstein, most of what eluveitie makes and inabakumori makes...

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

Wen Bie by Jackie Cheung

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

A lot of j-pop
