I was just gonna say this. I’m learning German and it felt cool being anle to losten to it in the original
Prisencolinensinainciusol by Adriano Celentano
A language that no one can understand.
Snow - Informer
Off the top of my head,
Psy - Gangnam Style
Rammstein - entire catalog
The Hu - most of their stuff
Also right now by psy.
And most of madkid and chihara minoris music
I like Mother Father Gentleman too by PSY.
That That with Psy and Suga frequently gets stuck in my head
Numa Numa Yay, Numa Numa Yay, Numa Numa Numa Yay!
Bella Ciao
Manu Chao - clandestino
I got really into German punk a few years ago. Some of my favorites.
Die Ärzte Schrei nach Liebe
Wizo Raum Der Zeit
Die Toten Hosen Hier kommt Alex
Die Ärtze are cool. I like many of their songs, but I DO speak (some) German so I couldn’t list it here.
My German is limited to what I remember from taking high school German nearly 30 years ago (basically cursing and asking how much the calculator costs), so I figured it was safe for me to post them.
I suppose OP isn’t going to know if we play down our language skills a bit!
Escapado is very underrated.
Kind of a joke but the song is catchy.
The guy is a Norwegian comedian I think & he bet his friends that he could get a dumb song into the Billboard top 10 or something. I believe he succeeded in a few European countries.
The song is absolutely ridiculous considering he doesn’t speak Spanish, but it’s just a funny story.
Stromae - Papaoutai (I found out it existed because Pentatonix did a cover of it)
That guy’s also got some other interesting songs, with quite a bit of social commentary: carmen, Fils de joie, tous les mêmes, Santé
I suppose it’s time to learn French
J’apprends la français depuis trois ans. (Mais pas a cause de la chanson.)
I also really like Alors on Danse from Stromae
That’s where I first heard him. I was expecting to find more techno/club music after this one but nope…I was interestingly surprised.
Yeah I like he doesn’t bite his tongue on his choices.
Nier Replicant & Nier Automata soundtracks
All in chaos language (a.k.a. pure gibberish).
yes, I am obsessed with songs with non-language lyrics! I know of four sources (including Nier) that does it and I just love it
Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol:
Both the name of the song and its lyrics are gibberish but are intended to sound like English in an American accent.
Celentano’s intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. The intent was to demonstrate how English sounds to people who do not understand the language proficiently.
Is Cult of the Lamb soundtrack in that list?
I haven’t, actually! looks like I’ll need to give it a listen
Have you listened to Hanezeve Caradhina from Made in Abyss? https://youtube.com/watch?v=sFzDQ2OjFko
The anime is really dark, but have some bright and hopeful moments which this song captures so well.
Tunak Tunak Tun will forever be a banger.
I still get it stuck in my head every once in a while – certified ear worm.
La Bamba
…and Lambada. Somehow I associate both to the same summer.
Basically anything Sigur Rós does.
Though, half of their music is in a “language” nobody speaks.
If you find novel use of language fun, I’d recommend the Cocteau Twins.
It’s English, but the words aren’t used for their meaning. More for tonality and cadence.
It’s not something I’d put on normally, and I don’t really listen to them much, but I found it interesting enough.
Hijo de la Luna - Mecano
