Really, tho, if it slaps, it transcends language 🤷♂️
Anime OP dont usually get me- I kind of see them as their own genre. However Nostalgic Rainfall by Chic0 with Honeyworks is something I listen to every little while.
Also for the young me, growing up in an Modern Orthodox enclave, but completely immersed in NuMetal, Synergia's Khum Uli August had my number. My friend brought back three whole albums from his birthright trip. I still listen to them when I work out. I miss that guy sometimes, too.

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
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.

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

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 was sampled too, so you may recognize it. https://www.whosampled.com/Kourosh-Yaghmaei/Gol-e-Yakh/
Ma-ia-hii, Ma-ia-huu!
"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
Huh, that's pretty funny
Scott & Zelda by Bibi
Yokozuna by the Garlicboys
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.
anything that ado has sung for/covered tbh
I really like the theme song for Dan-Da-Dan.
Naruto/Boruto had some good ones over their runs, too.

Sve bih dala da znam
La cocuracha (or however it is spelled)
It definitely isn't Despacito! Totally hate that song... 👀
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)
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
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.
Uska dara by Eartha Kitt.
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.
Baba Yetu by Stellenbosch Choir (or anyone actually)
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!
