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

For me, it would be Karadeniz Horon Kemençe

bit of an odd one here: Space-Patrol (Raumpatrouille) - only german intro, but it's a fuckin banger

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.

caramelldansen, the fast version

Too many to list, dating at least back to 99 Luftballons.

This is the most recent one: Pacifica - Soltame

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Pacifica is great and have a lot of English language music too.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

a lot of songs from Caravan Palace

French rock song 'jen perlerai au diable' by johnny hallyday.

You can feel it in your bones.

https://youtu.be/CobeBZNlR8E

Edit: OK this isnt the kind of dance songs you're looking for.

Although if you want punjabi dance songs like tunak tunak tun, I can recommend a few (although its not a foreign language to me).

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Here's a few - looking forward to discovering more from this thread!

Mory Kanté's Yeke Yeke, especially the Hardfloor and Afro Acid remixes.

Gaspar Nali's A Bale Ndikuwuzeni

Afro-Cuban Allstars - Amor Verdadero

Lexicon Avenue - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix)

Leftfield - Afro Left

Eugène Mona - Lizo (Kiko Navarro Afroterraneo Mix)

[–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Nikki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

anything that ado has sung for/covered tbh

[–] Scuzzm0nkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days 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.

I have no idea how I originally found this, but it is one of the coolest things I have ever seen/heard: https://youtu.be/l_MyUGq7pgs

Uska dara by Eartha Kitt.

[–] slopsmash@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Seen the movie yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chorus_(2004_film) The original song will maybe not make you dance as much as the remix but it is still a nice movie.

Kuschel Song by Schnuffel, it honestly just makes me think about a simpler time in my life when I didn't realize just how much I had laid out before me.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

La Bamba, the OG.

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

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

Doku - Hakushi Hasegawa

The drums go hard enough to shatter bones and it is literally a perfect song

Goran Bregovic: Yeremia

There's a lot in the Balkan basket that would be on topic, but let's go with AALKO'OL!

[–] zlatiah@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Lots of K-pop get people who don't understand Korean at all to vibe; there's also famous (infamous?) songs like the remixed Caramelldansen (which is Swedish), Tunak Tunak Tun as you mentioned is a good one too

Personally I... vibe to a lot of songs that don't have any lyrics at all

Or how about ones with fictional lyrics? Such as siromaru + cranky: conflict (OK this might be a bit too niche...)

[–] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

This one for sure! I have to turn it up every time it comes around in my playlists. It’s half in French, and I asked my Quebecois friend what he was singing and she wasn’t sure. Makes sense as I just discovered he’s Belgian when I went to get the YouTube link lol.

La Fuente or really anything else by Adiós Amores

Here's two Punjabi style songs that are very dance along able. Used as wedding dance songs here. If you like tunak tunak, you'll like these. Although these are more produced than tunak tunak

My favorite comment on it is "My balls dropped during this video. And my I'm a 35-year-old woman."

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

Man there's a surprising amount of Finnish songs here. Torille

[–] wieson@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Baba Yetu by Stellenbosch Choir (or anyone actually)

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I speak English and Duolingo German. And read some old Greek.

These groups have tons of great songs, but these are the first that come to mind for me.

Besides all the Japanese anime and city pop songs I enjoy listening to, here are some international bangers I can't help but dance to:

[–] Sprawl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

To be honest, there are a lot of songs that i mightsing along to that i have no clue what the real lyrics are. I was just jamming to some old skool Nevermind earlier today!
