I think as long as they're in different languages it's okay, since it won't take concentration away from the game to try and understand the lyrics.
For instance, the epic monk voices in so many songs that don't actually say any English words.

It really depends on the song and game
I can think of scenarios you wouldn't want singing like in non-boss monster battles because it get on your nerves or in mutiplayer combat games like cod or team fortress because of distraction
but there are games that with out the music would lose a lot of their charm like katimari damicy part of what made the first game so awesome was the music
and the cool theme for SSB:brawl would seem rather generic without those latian lyrics
not to mention chanting monks and what not can really set the mood in a horror game

I dont like it when Japanese music suddenly pops it's ugly head in. Im not saying they can't sign or anything but I don't speak the language so any extra emphases from having vocals is lost and frankly it's a little jarring.
Games have had both songs that I really like and songs that make want to turn the volume down to zero, with or without lyrics. The Devil May Cry series has most of my favorites.

well i was thinking more about music ingame since i wud have also put Still alive in the first comment but Phistiline is a song that is sung while your fighting that girl AKA a boss battle...You did intros,credit and optional songs....Midnight riders play from Jukebox...
Actually, Snake Eater, Love Theme and the Best is Yet to Come all play during gameplay, during the big ladder, the microwave corridor and upon entering the Shadow Moses heliport, respectively. Snake Eater also plays during the fight with Ocelot, and two of the Midnight Rider songs play during the Dark Carnival finale.GvidaZ said:
Ugh. 155 is comfortably the worst Elena Siegman track used on the Nazi maps. I was very underwhelmed with it.ThatLankyBastard said:
The One (from Shi No Numa) is my favourite.
It's like a bad Bond opening. A really bad Bond opening.Madara XIII said:
If we're counting songs that play during cut scenes, Kerli's When Nobody Loves You walks it.
