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

For me, it would be Karadeniz Horon Kemençe

      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.

      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.

    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).

    Govinda, Jaya Jaya

      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. :(

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

    This is the most recent one: Pacifica - Soltame

    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.

      This is one of the scenes i saw used a few years back to be mixed with EDM for a different feel. It was pretty good.

    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!
