Since there's so much interest in 'foreign' music today, R&P...?

Hi Silver, One of my favorite bands: Sigur Ros - language: Islandic http://www.imeem.com/people/PQ6EQkc/blogs/2008/01/29/lgtvKR6g/sigur_ros_untitled_track_2_fyrsta Stereoloab and Serge Gainsbourg - French http://www.imeem.com/people/PQ6EQkc/blogs/2008/09/24/Wj1DZNYb/serge_gainsbourg_and_brigette_bardot Here an original english language piece in another language: (Great performance piece with A++++ makeup.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLhbf-K10IM

This is the second time I've tried to answer, darling! Questions and answers are disappearing at a disgusting rate around here recently, and it doesn't seem to matter whether they're in violation of the rules. I don't know if there's any religious influence, although I have no problem believing that the same people who think that their religion - and only their religion - is the only "true" one and that all other belief systems are evil are also the same people reporting on here. I also have no trouble believing that people who think that the frequently asked question "y r athiest in this section" has a point, and who think this is a section only for religious people, are among the most frequent reporters. Any religion or belief system that says "we are the only ones who are right and all other people are bad" encourages intolerance and censorship. Like darling Jackie, I think that people who report should have to cite the specific rule being violated, and they should have to cite the specific part of the question or answer that violated it. I'd even go further - reporting should cost at least as many points as asking a question does, and, as with thumbs, you should not be able to report until you're level 2 or above. Additionally, I think there should be a limit on the number of reports you can make in a day - the way there are limits on stars - and that any time someone reports more than two or three questions in a row, their ability to report should be suspended for an hour to eliminate the kind of targeting that goes on around here. Appealing is a waste of time now, darling - the Yamster doesn't even bother to respond, other than to send you a survey about the way your "case" was handled. (((Jabber wock)))

The vocalists of Nightwish usually sing in English, although they have a few songs with Finnish lyrics. My top favorite is "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan" - it's so pretty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJVRhbairIY The second would probably be "Erämaan Viimeinen". It's basically their song "Last of the Wilds (which is an amazing instrumental) with lyrics. LotW is better, but EV is highly catchy. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUpGmvhxFzs (Sung by Jonsu from Indica) EDIT: Okay I can't think of anything off the top of my head. I'd be surprised if I ever heard Within Temptation do any songs in their native language (or any other one, for that matter). All of their songs are in English and I have many other songs that Sharon den Adel, the vocalist, is featured on - all of them are in English, lol. They are Dutch. The only time I've heard them/her speak in their language is during interviews and when talking to the crowd on stage. SIDE EDIT: For my Nightwish answer - Tarja is my favorite singer, and she often sings in Finnish/German as well as English, but when she was with Nightwish they didn't do many non-English songs. That's why I said them and not her, to anyone who might be wondering. :) EDIT: :) Glad you liked it. Personally I adore the live video of that show where they performed "The Phantom of the Opera", but that's getting off on another tangent. xD

Uhm, the bands I listen to that normally sing in English always sing in English. But my favorite song by a foriegn band is Saishuu Reshia by Mucc. Which is from Japan. But The 69 Eyes Probably made a few songs in a different language.

My choice is senzafine by Lacuna coil. There an Italian band but they usually sing in English. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc5G4CoOWck

Canadian folk is a great place to start looking. Of course with French as one of their officical langage, I don't know if it can be considered as "foreign"! The Arcade Fire - Haiti http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6BMyqSdOXc Kate and Anna McGarrigle - Complainte pour Ste Catherine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRkngBZOBRs Aah, shame there used to be an even better version, when they were in their prime, but can't find it, must have been removed! Other than that, how about a few french classics: Michel Polnareff - L'homme qui pleurait des larmes de verre (The man who cried tears of glass) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFewhagzS-0 Michel Polnareff - Love Me, Please Love Mehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp2NPj_FYWI Jacques Brel (Belgian actually) - Amsterdam - a must watch!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6rvMZnWKZc A few others... Caterina Caselli - insieme a te non ci sto più (Italy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhbnOWE157M Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento - O Que Sera (Brazil) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfYbMjbadKY Ha! I knew of those songs, but thanks to you I'm seeing some of those videos for the first time! Hope you've enjoyed them posts : 0) Edit: How could I forget that one? ; ) What with you, of all people, asking this question, lol! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkdxM5OAO34

I can only think of a couple: "She Loves You" in German by The Beatles "Oye Como Va" in Spanish by Santana

Ratamahatta by the mighty Sepultura http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzFtU3k2oa0 In ahhh some sort of tribal language I assume?

not really a surprise but my collection is limited. Hungry for You by The Police is sung partially in French.

Madonna - Shanti/Ashtagi It's in Hindi.
