"Was hast du Gedacht" by GZUZ. I know there's a ton of german hip hop but there needs to be more and bigger.

Interesting. Looks like I can't view it from Germany

I really like the theme song for Dan-Da-Dan.

Naruto/Boruto had some good ones over their runs, too.

Ma-ia-hii, Ma-ia-huu!

You. You have. You have me.
You. You hate. You hate me.

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

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.

[–] aMockTie@piefed.world 1 points 20 hours ago

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.

there's a couple Japanese songs that are bangers but the lyrics are incredibly sad just like Japanese people bopped to something like pumped up kids

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Lumiere from Clair Obscur.

The Pillows entire catalogue.

99 Luftballons.

Really, tho, if it slaps, it transcends language 🤷‍♂️

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/WDtqZE8hUOs

And "Horon" is also the traditional dance associated with kemençe.

[–] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

That'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.

It definitely isn't Despacito! Totally hate that song... 👀

In the 90s, before I learned Spanish, it was Macarena

[–] BismuthYellow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Most songs from heilung. I love alfadirhaiti, anoana, and in maidjan krisgaldr is also amazing, othan. Live versions imo are waay better than recorded versions.

Another one from a different band, wardruna, helvegen with aurora is amazing.

Idk about singing or dancing, but I have been listening to some artists whose songs I can't understand, such as MODELKI, Nina Chuba, and Annalisa, to name a few

[–] Scuzzm0nkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Ólavur Riddararós by Týr, or any of their other songs that aren't in English generally. The folk-ish group singing really gets me fired up.

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
