Boy hearing these IN ANALOGUE would be awesome I think!! (Although hearing them 32k REAL is amazing also though)


Music is not really about WORDS,its about the FEELING it creates :)

I like it

One of my favorite bands is Rammstein.

My mom was over fairly recently and I had this song blasting on my comp. She told me, "I don't know what you're listening to... but I like it." :rock:

I also like Dulce Pontes' cover of 'Canção do Mar'.

It was used for the closing credits of Primal Fear.

Several years ago a 70's song, "I Wanna Love You Tender" by Finnish duo Armi & Danny became extremely popular on YouTube because of the cheesy video and heavily accented vocals sung in English. There were tons of parodies of it. Someone uploaded a live version on YouTube (no longer available) where they sing it in Finnish. It sounded so much better and less cheesy in their native language.

I also prefer the Swedish version of "Now You're Gone" (Boten Anna) by Basshunter:

And here's a French cover of Toto's "Georgy Porgy":

Nice ones everybody!

Muchos Gracious :)

Oh yes...

I found two songs from Goodfellas that are Italian...

I'd like to make a couple of Italian songs one day...I have a Fan Fiction Band called The Deep Red Band in which Tom Cat (One of the session musicians) sings the Italian songs...just like a song in this T&J cartoon....

In 1981, I was sent some cassettes by my pen pal in Finland. She sent two of them which had many songs of a new wave variety which were sung in Finnish. I found them very interesting, as I had begun to attempt to learn the Finnish language. I'm STILL learning!

When it comes to pop songs 1-hit wonders I don't mind them at all like:

Psy (Gangnam Style)
O-Zone (Numa Numa)

Sometimes yes and sometimes no, it depends. One example of a song I like in a foreign language is the 80s pop hit 99 Luftballoons by the German band Nena, named after the female lead singer. And of course it's in German, I think it's the only all German song to become an American top 40 pop hit. They did release a version in English, but I don't know it just lost something in that version for me, but it was interesting to finally understand the whole song. But I still prefer the German language version.

I like the German version too.

Kyu Sakamoto recorded I Will Walk Looking Up, better known as Sukiyaki in the 60's. A Taste of Honey redid it with different lyrics in English in the 80's but the Japanese version is much better:

And Enya's version of Silent Night, sung in Gaelic:

Thanks UMFaninMD. It's interesting because one of my brother's mother-in-law is full German. She was born and raised in Germany, and her husband was in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed in Germany in the late 50s and that's how they met, and they fell in love and married and moved back to America where she's lived ever since, she used to get back to Germany in the summer for visits but not anymore. She speaks perfectly good English but her German is still just as good so she would've been able to understand the song in German anways. LOL.

Another one I like is Un Dia Sin Ti (Spanish for One Day Without You). It's the Spanish version of Roxette's hit song Spending My Time. Roxette some time in the mid 90s released an all Spanish cd (for reasons I still don't really understand) with several of their hit songs in Spanish. i'm a big fan of theirs. But I just think it's kind of strange that a Swedish pop duo who records all their albums in English decided to release several of their hits in Spanish. Maybe it was only meant for Spanish speaking countries but I know it's been released in English speaking countries too. Oh well.

Ed.

I like Mexican music. Even if sung in Spanish:D

Edward216, my late grandmother was German. She was born and raised in Manheim before she moved to the US in the 40's. She met the man who became my grandfather in Texas and they married in 1952. She spoke perfect English and pretty much stopped speaking German but her accent never left. I think when the song came out I asked her to translate it for me. :D

That's the same with my brother's mother-n-law, she still has the German accent. But I really don't know where in Germany she's from originally. I'll have to ask some time.

Ed.

No.

The only song not in the English language I like is Falco's Rock Me, Amedeus

OK a little off subject here. Does anybody remember that there was a "mashup" version (not sure what else to call it) of Nena's 99 Luftballoons? Where they'd combined the German and English translations on one record. She'd sing one line in German and then the next was in English. I'm sure I remember hearing that on the radio but it was only a couple of times and I've never heard it again anywhere else.

I heard the mashup years ago on the radio during a Sunday night show where they played 80's alternative and New Wave. I remember the DJ saying more listeners preferred the all-German version!

Thanks. I prefer the all German version myself. I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers the mashup though.

Ed.

Yup I remember it and alot of stations I used to listen to play it still!!

The only song not in the English language I like is Falco's Rock Me, AmedeusThats in english bud!!

I love foreign language songs and I love the Spanish language songs a lot because my mom has a dozen Spanish language albums and I have some too. I actually began improving my Spanish by listening to Selena albums and my mom and grandmother were shocked at how much Spanish I mastered just by listening to Selena's songs and my uncle was shocked as well too and so I began listening to Spanish singers on Youtube and started singing along for fun and my mom was surprised. I also like Filipino songs too as well as Japanese songs too because the ballads are so pretty and the lyrics are like poetry when they are sung

I like Spanish/Mexican music Santana's "Oye Como Va"

:rock: Rammstein! :rock:

Thank you for your entry Jimmy :)

I love Ranchero music ! Basically it's Mexican country music ! :) Lots of fun to listen too while eating at a Mexican restaurant, enjoying great food with a Margarita or beer ! :)

Of all songs in foreign languages I would have to say that my favorite songs are Filipino language songs as well as Japanese language songs because when you listen to ballads in those languages they are beautiful with lyrics that flow like poetry and you are swept away into a tranquil paradise when you listen to them. But what I can't figure out is why when it comes to Christmas songs in other languages especially in Spanish the lyrics just seem weird. Like if you listen to a song like Let It Snow or Jingle Bells in Spanish the Spanish lyrics seem out of place and completely ruins the song

I like the song La vie en rose sung by Edith Piaf (French)

I also like some German songs but I don't know their names right now.

I just got a record that I think is GERMAN im not sure but its nice listening :)

Besides Rammstein, I also like Till's solo stuff under "Lindemann".

Equally just as strange.
