8980 ITT: Songs in a foreign language
Ásgeir Trausti - Heimförin (Icelandic folk music)

https://www.youtube.com/v/kzSJBhPFTcY

Kaizers Orchestra - Knekker Deg Til Sist (Norwegian alt-rock)

https://www.youtube.com/v/mYrPdOCM4y0

Chetes - Camino a Casa (apparently this counts as pop rock in Mexico)

https://www.youtube.com/v/qNuuzGN9WRg

I guess songs in English by non-native speaking artists are fine too.

Glad there're some other Asian tracks to explore, here.
Check this one out, Miki Matsubara's Stay With Me. She sings slightly off key in this live track- it's charming. There's something wonderful about Japanese pop music, or whatever this is. Reminds me of my teen years listening to niche videogame music radio.

I think it has something to do with the phonetic nature of the language. Each sylable is distinct, as opposed to our language, which words can meld into one another.

Some languages do just sound nice. I think Turkish sounds lovely, originally because of this:



And more recently because of this, which I now awkwardly notice has no singing at all for the first minute:

I was really drunk for my birthday a few weeks ago and I started playing a load of this stuff to my girlfriend. I think it drastically lowered her estimations of me, partly because she's a slav, and partially because I'm supposed to be a metalhead.

She doesn't know that inside, my soul is gopnik. It's painful lads.

Dengue Fever are an American band with Cambodian heritage, and here they are playing their version of some Ethiopian jazz. Do I win the thread forever?



This song by the same band is actually better:

Very solid effort by Madonna, with a song that was already one of her best during the mid-90s in its English version.

MAinstream punk from Germany, it mentions Störkraft and "Onkels", aka. Böhse Onkelz. Two well known far right German rock bands. The song was perhaps a bit too early to include Landser.

I've been enjoying this fun little song about a Prince's consulting room where unfortunately everyone talks to the Prince at once instead of waiting their turn. It's worth turning the CC on.

Dakh Daughters are pretty cool. They're some Ukrainian arts troupe that sings across multiple languages, apparently drawing inspiration from famous writers of the past.

Sometimes I wonder if this is the most iconic foreign pop song of all time. It's brilliant. Thinking about it a little more, perhaps it comes second behind Rock Me Amadeus, and 99 Luftballons has a shout too but that was translated into English for the UK charts so I don't count it.

I really like these old Turkish songs. And yet, when I have looked them up outside of these two videos, they sound completely different. It turns out that Hande Yener was not around in the 1980s at all (well, she was born in 1973), and some YouTuber with under 400 subscribers has been remixing her songs to give them an '80s vibe:





The official version of "Romeo" came out in 2007, and the second one I posted, "Sahte", came out in 2021! They're not as good, so I hope this remixer guy makes it big.

Jarvis Cocker's Pulp arguably nicked the hook of this song for their own song, Disco 2000.
