You know something like Tunak Tunak Tun where you got videos like this

For me, it would be Karadeniz Horon Kemençe

      100%. My jam is 90s grunge, but anyone who doesn’t think Dragostea din tie is an absolute banger doesn’t really have a soul.

      I wanted to thank you. I was laying in bed depressed as fuck and I saw your comment and remembered how much I used to love that song. I discovered it on YouTube back when I was a kid. I listened to it probably a hundred times back then. I listened twice after seeing your comment. Thanks for reminding me of an actually happy memory. Truly a timeless and beautiful song. The English version isn’t bad either.

        I’m glad I could bring back a happy memory for you.

        I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling with depression, I know it’s different for everyone but I can relate and wouldn’t wish that torture on my worst enemy. I hope you’re able to find the support that you need, and can break out of that horrible situation.

        Please feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to.

      The song is a German pun, a delightful example of German humour.

      *Yellow Ledbetter

      Legend has it the only person to ever truly understand the lyrics to this song was David Hasselhoff, but he forgot them halfway through eating that cheeseburger.

    It’s actually kinda in English. This was made by a Spanish/Italian guy so English speakers could “hear” what English sounds like to a non-speaker. Song still slaps tho

    Over the last few years I’ve really been getting into Japanese rock and have fallen in love with a hard rock group called BAND-MAID. They do a cool blend of hard rock, metal aesthetics, and pop.

    I find myself singing poorly to a lot of their music, but Manners is an especially fun one. A blues driven hard rock song with a lot of push and pull. Awesome vocal performance by the two main vocalists. The bassist MISA is always creative too.

    I always get a laugh from Prisencolinensinainciusol by Adriano Celentano. But that’s “sorta English” so a language I don’t speak is probably J’en ai marre by Alizée.

    This song has been in heavy rotation for literally decades on both my “workout” playlist and my “thinking and programming” playlist. 100% true: I have gotten dates with attractive girls because they were intrigued by what I was listening to (this song).
