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

For me, it would be Karadeniz Horon Kemençe

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

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

    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

        Fan would be an overstatement. I like to watch it to discover new songs I wouldn’t normally come across.

    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!

    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.

      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.

    There’s this heavy metal Japanese band named Aldious. Many of their songs are real bangers, like “Ground Angel” and “Yozakura”, but there are two particular songs that, as you said, get me dancing and yelling, even if they’re more “pop-ish” than the others: “Without You” and “Die for You”. They put me in a good mood every time I listen to them 😆.

    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…)

    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
