An old video of a North Korean singer performing "Dançando Lambada" (possibly from around the same time the original song by French-Brazilian pop group Kaoma came out):

Yay! It's Eurovision season! These are the songs I'm obsessing over right now.

Songs from Eesti laul:
(English, sorry :P ) Sibyl Vane - Thousand words Classic dreams for classy girls
(Italian) Elina Netšajeva - La Forza OMG that voice!
(Estonian) Etnopatsy - Külm Hippie :-D

And A dal:
(Hungarian) AWS - Viszlát nyár So intense
(Hungarian) Leander Kills - Nem szól harang Those drums!

And a little non-ESC related bonus:
(Finnish) Retropop - Pohjolan prinsessa NquiteSFW

They've always had, even though the majority is in English. I haven't counted the number of non-English songs this year though (or any other year).

Ah, I guess the songs you were listening to weren't all from this year. I was surprised that there would be so many non-English Eurovision songs in the same year, and I was probably thinking of the final round, too.

Ah no, these are all from this year. Three of the songs are form the Estonian selection, and two from the Hungarian (plus one not related to ESC at all). The winner of the Estonian selection was Elina Netšajeva and, AWS won the Hungarian selection.

Actually, let me just check Wikipedia... This year there are 13 non-English songs. The languages are Albanian, Italian (2 songs), Armenian, Greek, Serbian, Georgian (for the first time I think), Hungarian, Montenegrin, Slovene, Portuguese, French and Spanish.

I wish someone could translate the lyrics of Загасан Ширээт Тамга's songs from Mongolian.
