You know something like Tunak Tunak Tun where you got videos like this
For me, it would be Karadeniz Horon Kemençe
Gangnam Style, obviously
What is the thread without Dragostea din tei.
Also 99 Luftballons
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.
Du Hast?
You. You have. You have me.
You. You hate. You hate me.The song is a German pun, a delightful example of German humour.
Ja
Bella Ciao
First that came to my mind
Pearl Jam - Ledbetter
*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
This was the first song that came to my mind too 😂 Scrolled down to the comments and you made my day. A minute of it anyway.
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.
Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha
Hell yeah! That song is awesome.
A Eurovision fan?
Eurovision!
Made in Switzerland 🎶
like the internet or LSD
Internet? Made in Switzerland?
I thought DARPA was American.
Fan would be an overstatement. I like to watch it to discover new songs I wouldn’t normally come across.
That’s a good strategy! I’ve found lots of great stuff there.
Engel, by Rammstein.
Erst, wenn die Wolken schlafen geh’n
Kann man uns am Himmel seh’n
Wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiß, ich will kein Engel sein
No idea what any of that means!
a lot of songs from Caravan Palace
Too many to list, dating at least back to 99 Luftballons.
This is the most recent one: Pacifica - Soltame
Pacifica is great and have a lot of English language music too.
Doesn’t get me singing, but it def gets me moving Somoku by Hakushi Hasegawa
Legend by Otyken is also way up there for me
Edit: listening to the album for the upteenthjillion time and couldn’t help myself but to share another gem
The drums go hard enough to shatter bones and it is literally a perfect song
checking out somoku, this is so good! the vocal melody and lyrics are oddly familiar but I can’t place it, definitely would have remembered this schizoid instrumentation (not an insult I love this shit!) if I had heard this before
listening to the whole album now, great recommendation!
Love to hear it, dude. My favorite description of their music was simply put as “music 2.0” lol. Hakushi deserves way more recognition than they’re getting!
Turkish is my first language and a lot of English songs were exactly that. This feels interesting.
Btw “kemençe” is also the instrument’s name if you want to find similar stuff.
Some of my favorites. https://youtu.be/hUdWILxC8sY
https://youtu.be/WDtqZE8hUOsAnd “Horon” is also the traditional dance associated with kemençe.
https://youtu.be/L0RaPN4d1iYThat’s really interesting. Thanks for the links!
I first heard the Turkish song I mentioned when I one day found myself in a concert on a trip to turkey. We weren’t allowed to take pictures or video but I recorded the audio and the music was so bumping so I audio searched the song.
Not exactly yelling or dancing, but I cycle a lot and when Burning by Hitsujibungaku comes on I pedal way harder and will usually beat my personal best for the segment that I’m riding.
It’s the outro to season 2 of Oshi no Ko which is a fantastic show by the way.
