Music you enjoy in a language you don't understand...

[Dags90]

There are a lot of languages I don't understand...but here are some particularly fun songs.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

I listen to J-Rock / J-Pop a lot. I'm a big fan of Tokyo Jihen / Shiina Ringo.

Spoiler

Damn, all their stuff are being taken down : (

 

[Euryalus]

Although I know hear the chorus as this.

Dance on my balls
Cat fucking a hand bag
Yours only yours
Delores tickle dance mat
it's no lie,
Lisa in the club said
No Henry had a vagina malfunction.

I will never hear that song the same way lol XD

 

[Helmholtz Watson]

Spoiler: French

(for the vid above, the girl is terrible but the guy is a great rapper)

Spoiler: Spanish

[burningdragoon]

Do made up languages count? NIER's soundtrack is pretty awesome.

 

[Revnak_v1legacy]

Spoiler: Pretty certain this cannot be english

Spoiler: But seriously

This guy amuses me.

 

[Evil Smurf]

I love Eurovision.'That should answer your question.

I just wanted to say that your avatar is very amazing and I am slightly upset that I have not seen it before now.
Headbanging cats... There isn't much you can do to make that better

thanks n_n

The only problem is I may never have a better avatar!

 

[The Floating Nose]

I see a lot of you like french music. Well, you guys should check out a French-Canadian singer called Keith Kouna. He is very very good but unfortunately he's not on the radio (don't ask me why)

Here's a list of his best songs:

-Batisquant (a song where he talks about his dad)
-Déo
-Marin
-Pas de Panique (Don't panic ! A very funny song about a guy on welfare who desn't want to get himself out of the hole)

There's a lot of others but these are the ones that comes to my mind.

 

[Jolly Co-operator]

The original theme songs to both Death Note and Code Geass come to mind. They're so damn catchy, and I've always loved them.

 

[GTwander]

That one by The Pillows takes me back, and the songs still have the same effect on me. Good stuff.

My entry;

 

[Marik2]

I listen to Japanese songs and things in Latin, Hebrew, and a bit of Arabic

For the last 3, they're all old hymns

 

[Sonicron]

Sure, there's quite a bit of great music in languages I don't understand.

Let's see...

Spoiler: Finnish?

Spoiler: Dutch

Spoiler: Japanese or Korean?

Pardon my ignorance.

[Bat Vader]

I tend to listen to a lot of Japanese music from anime openings but I also like the work that Akiko Shikata does. There are a few German songs that I like as well.

 

[Tanis]

I listen to a lot of anime/video game music, so...yeah.

Yoko Kanno 4EVAH, yo!

The language is Northern Sami btw, because I'm a smug, dirty hipster

 

[BathorysGraveland]

Well, I do listen to quite a bit of pagan black metal, so naturally there are some bands with lyrics/vocals in their native languages. Some examples would be Myrkgrav from Norway, Maras from Macedonia, Häive from Finland, Tengger Cavalry from China, North from Poland, Falkenbach and Nebelhorn from Germany and so on. There are other black metal bands, more classic, that usually have songs in both English and their native languages, such as Burzum and Darkthrone etc.

I also listen to Rammstein, Belarusian folk band - Stary Olsa and Scandinavian folk band - Krauka. Those three have lyrics/vocals in their own languages.

The only language I know and speak, is English. While I can't speak these languages, I do have a general understanding of what their lyrics are about.

 

[TeletubbiesGolfGun]

I absolutely love that song even though no-one can understand a word. It's been specifically designed to sound like English to someone who doesn't understand it.

Also, quite a bit of metal, I can't think of any specific bands that sing in another language, but I know I have a few in my playlist. And also Tunguska Electronic Music Society.

what the hell..i'm american and i can barely understand/can't understand what the fuck they are saying hardly at all. (not saying it isn't catchy though)

I do enjoy some Rammstein, although I can understand some of it admittedly.

Spoiler: Some Rammstein

Then there's the random stuff that Guitar Hero/Rock Band have put in down the years, such as this.


And Caramelldansen is damn catchy.


Although I know hear the chorus as this.

Dance on my balls
Cat fucking a hand bag
Yours only yours
Delores tickle dance mat

thank you for posting that, i completely forgot about hier kommt alex! *goes to download*

INB4 Gangna- NVM...

I love French Hip-Hop. Rapping in French sounds awesome.

Spoiler

Oh and an obligatory mention for Rammstein

Spoiler

thank you for that, i think i'm digging french hip hop quite a bit now (even though i have no idea what they are saying)

OT: much has been said that i would've recommended, so maybe this song? it's been years since i listened to it though.


now i actually understand a bunch of the lyrics, but just used to humm this in class all the time.

 

[JaceArveduin]

Tyr's got some awesome music, as it so happens.
