I agree, I suppose it's okay if you speak that language aswell!

Why would you even listen to music in another language?Because some people like listening to what others cultures have. some people find english msuic samey, or just awnt something different. Some of the languages sound great, and some songs sound better in their original language

It has a pretty catchy tune + Fernando Torres is in the video, so it's cool ;). I actually keep replaying this song, I wish it was in English :(

Ich Will by Rammstein has the most plays on my iPod, but I'd have to say the following two are my favourites.

Enya did some really great foreign language songs as well and my favourite by Rammstein is probably Sonne.

Actually I do really like The Girl in Byakkoya by Susumu Hirasawa and Shakkazombie's Recover the Sky of Day as well. I just can't decide on a favourite. :P

Then there is also Suara, Ayu, Kokia, Supercell, etc... there are too many to choose from. I think everyone should listen to Chowa oto - with reflection by Kokia though.

Excellent question. I think I'd have to say Nebel - Rammstein, but I'm starting to dislike that a bit now.
I love songs by Tatu too :) especially when there's also an English version of the song to help me understand it a bit.
I had an amazing Korean song on my old PC, never found out what it was called though, the file name was just a bunch of random letters.
I keep meaning to listen to some Japanese music too. German music helped me learn German, now I'm trying to learn Japanese I hope music works again :)


Why would you even listen to music in another language?

Some people learn foreign languages, or just like the way the song sounds :)
