Gangnam Style, obviously
[Korean lyrics]
"Heeeeeyyyyyyy sexy lady!"
[Korean lyrics]
Fuck yeah!
Psy's music video for "Gentleman" is also really good.
What is the thread without Dragostea din tei.
Also 99 Luftballons
100%. My jam is 90s grunge, but anyone who doesn't think Dragostea din tie is an absolute banger doesn't really have a soul.
Definitely Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone
Came here to second this. Can not hear it without doing the arm pumps
Haha yes absolutely! For those that don't get the reference, here's an absolute gem of a video from the early internet days.

Bella Ciao
First that came to my mind
Pearl Jam - Ledbetter
*Yellow Ledbetter
Legend has it the only person to ever truly understand the lyrics to this song was David Hasselhoff, but he forgot them halfway through eating that cheeseburger.

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
This was the first song that came to my mind too 😂 Scrolled down to the comments and you made my day. A minute of it anyway.
Over the last few years I've really been getting into Japanese rock and have fallen in love with a hard rock group called BAND-MAID. They do a cool blend of hard rock, metal aesthetics, and pop.
I find myself singing poorly to a lot of their music, but Manners is an especially fun one. A blues driven hard rock song with a lot of push and pull. Awesome vocal performance by the two main vocalists. The bassist MISA is always creative too.
I always get a laugh from Prisencolinensinainciusol by Adriano Celentano. But that's "sorta English" so a language I don't speak is probably J'en ai marre by Alizée.

This song has been in heavy rotation for literally decades on both my "workout" playlist and my "thinking and programming" playlist. 100% true: I have gotten dates with attractive girls because they were intrigued by what I was listening to (this song).
Yessss Kula Shaker! I'm so upset I had the chance to see them live exactly once, and I was so drunk (stupidly because of a girl) that I don't remember any of it. Big big life regret. :(

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.
Too many to list, dating at least back to 99 Luftballons.
This is the most recent one: Pacifica - Soltame
Pacifica is great and have a lot of English language music too.
caramelldansen, the fast version
Engel, by Rammstein.
Erst, wenn die Wolken schlafen geh'n
Kann man uns am Himmel seh'n
Wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiß, ich will kein Engel sein
No idea what any of that means!
French rock song 'jen perlerai au diable' by johnny hallyday.
You can feel it in your bones.
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).
bit of an odd one here: Space-Patrol (Raumpatrouille) - only german intro, but it's a fuckin banger
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

a lot of songs from Caravan Palace
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.
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
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...)
There's a lot in the Balkan basket that would be on topic, but let's go with AALKO'OL!
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
The drums go hard enough to shatter bones and it is literally a perfect song

Emotional Prism by Mikazuki Bigwave, one of the top comments on the YouTube video sums it up perfectly with "I don't know the words but I can feel the funk"
La Bamba, the OG.
Man there's a surprising amount of Finnish songs here. Torille
I speak English and Duolingo German. And read some old Greek.
- Porter - Hombre Máquina
- Ana Tijoux - Shock
- Silbermond - intro (Die Mutigen)
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:
