E Shohor Prantor - Bhupen Hazarika

I very rarely listen to songs with English lyrics.
I did have a bizarrely similar (to the original poster's) accident about four years ago, in which I slipped over a cookie and somehow twisted my ankle so far that it broke
What kind of cookie?

But this does have English lyrics (although minimal) :wink: In any case, I love WSH. I have all their CDs (I think, unless they released a new one recently) :D

And in the last "What song are you listening to?" thread, all I posted were foreign songs anyway, haha...

And finally, the last one I listened to was:

Joe Dassin - Aux Champs Élysées, (obviously) in French

Dégénérations - Mes Aïeux

EDIT: I can't spell French properly.

EDIT2: Now I'm listening to Acoustic Jam - Hoax Emcee (delicious Welsh rap!).

The latest CD ("Gize Mizan") by Ethiopian pop singer Hamelmal Abate. Love those syncopated 12/8 rhythms.

Seu Jorge's Portuguese cover of "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie.

Before that, Sigur Rós's album (), which I guess you can say doesn't have lyrics in any language.

Hmm. The last one I listened to was probably Trøllabundin by Eivør Pálsdóttir.

I believe it was "Ayagoz" by the Kazakh hip-hop group Bakai.

Hopelandic, though that is only babbling (and a bit repetetive at that, jú sælon í sæ jú sólæ jú só ...*).

This is a song by the Austrian band Summoning. It's called Midautas Vras and the lyrics are in the Black Speech. They are really a great band, so listen!!!

Oh :P , and yes what you're hearing in the song are orc voices.
"Brothers will battle to bloody end,
and sisters' sons their sib betray;
woe's in the world, much wantonness;
axe-age, sword-age, cloven shields,
wind-age, wolf-age, ere the world crumbles;
will the spear of no man spare the other."

Some weird German song with an even weirder music videos. Friggin' blowing up toasters and showerheads that stab people to death. :| :| :| :?

Yay, one of the songs that made me feel like learning Russian (which I did) :)...

Krinnen and I cheat, we are not native English speakers (or so I guess :P). Anyway, I like listening to music in foreign languages, for example

Kajman - To Jest Kajman

Die Toten Hosen - Zehn Kleine Jägermeister

Токио - Мы будем вместе (We'll be together)

As a general rule, the less I understand the lyrics, the more I enjoy a song.

I've got myself hooked on Operación Triunfo, one of these singing competition series, in Spain, so I've been listening to:

Corazón Partido - OT2008
¿Lo ves? - Pablo
Anything done by Pablo or Manu, really. Just search youtube for 'ot pablo' or whatever.

I mean, most of what they do is covers of other songs, and I suspect the originals are probably better in most cases, but anyway. It's fun. What I enjoy so much about these programmes in Spain is that they're so much more about having a party and having a fun time and being entertaining than being about criticism etc. It's a different approach to what I feel is more common in UK and US things of this sort. La vida es una fiesta - disfrute de ella. Well, it can be?

Currently listening to that Psalm Deward linked to. It's awesome.
