I love several songs by Welle:Erdballs

Here are a few songs that I started listening to:

Basshunter, obviously.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Dragostea Din Tei (aka, the "Numa numa" song) is always a hit.

Dude so many! I'll link some favorites old and new.

All things Rammstein. I speak an elementary amount of German so maybe this doesn't count. If you only know Du Hast, you really should check out more of Rammstein. These are a few of my recent favorites. (each video is probably nsfw if you have a puritanical office.)

Sigur Ros

Sakanaction is a great Japanese band that a friend introduced me to years ago.

Tiziano Ferro (bit older song but I still dig it)

Las Ketchup (It got old fast for me but this was a huge hit at the time)

King and Jester

Hikaru Utada

Juli (Love her voice. One of my favorite voices)

Annenmaykantereit (Told myself if I ever learn piano this would be one of the first songs)

Mylene Farmer

Grand Corps Malade & Camille Lellouche (Had this one on loop for awhile when I first found it)

Passi

Panzer AG

That's a decent list of some of my favorites. (please excuse the wonky formatting. I can't get it to behave.)

This Frederic song was on my feed one day. I had to hunt it down later that week and fortunately it was easy to describe because I found a thread of someone trying to find the same song.

Basically anything Sigur Rós does.

Though, half of their music is in a "language" nobody speaks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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.

Na Laetha Geal M'Oige - Enya

Sidi Mansour (any version)

The Vietnam National Anthem

Voyage Voyage - Desireless

Xoris Esena - Despina Vandi

Epic of Gilgamesh

Sarà perché ti amo

A bunch of Japanese Metal...

Band Maid - Domination

Neophila - AMA-TE-RAS

Ningen Isu - Heartless Scat

Maximum the Hormone - Koino America

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Rammstein - Du Hast

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Surprised there are no mentions of BTS more generally, lol

Although I guess for most they are a bit of a "gateway drug" to the K-pop genre.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

My favorite song by BTS is probably Spring Day (although I'm not really a massive kpop listener)

I think nobody posted yet this Finnish duo...This song slaps: Maustetytöt - Syntynyt suruun ja puettu pettymyksin I'm posting this link as it has both subtitles and you get to see them playing, but audio is better in the Studio version.

Since I'm at it...how about some Mongolian metal with throat singing? The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu. Comments on this video are hilarious too.

This video still cracks me up... Bomba Estéreo - Soy Yo

Japanese pop/rock overloaded with traditional instruments and general chaos...Wagakki - Kishikaisei

And...this. Namewee - Makudonarudo

El Pescador y La Luna - DJ Ignato

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

In the early 200x, I was listening to an Argentinean punk rock group called Dos Minutos.

None of the song names really stick out to me (of course), but here's a link to one.

Shchedryk (Ukranian original version of Carol of the Bells) comes to mind. Folk rhymes better with their original tongue in general

All of Sigur Ros. Makes me want to move to Iceland and be confused all day long.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I loved Sigur Ros when they first broke the scene around 1999. I thought it was so beautiful, and angelic, and weirdly transcendent. I wondered what beautiful poetry was being sung in this mystical Icelandic language I did not speak. Then, I learned that it’s not Icelandic. It’s not anything. It’s a made up language that means nothing. It shouldn’t really bother me, but I felt like I had been tricked, and haven’t been able to get past it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

It depends on the song. Many of their songs are Icelandic and a few are even in English.

I still get it stuck in my head every once in a while -- certified ear worm.

ATARASHII GAKKO! My uncle told me to check them out and I've like them a lot.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Liked them since I watched that collaboration they did with Captain Disillusion.

I was once exploring Greenlandic music and Nanook was my favorite artist.
