Foreign Songs

The Internet is a great place to find new music. At sites like youtube, dailymotion, and accuradio, you can find popular songs in other languages. Some foreign songs I like just because I don't know the words. If I am working, I can listen to them, and not and not lose my concentration by paying attention to the words. Others I like, because the videos are fun to watch.

This one is in Japanese. Some of the words are in English, which helps. It's a happy song, and the video shows the Japanese way to go to the Moon: first, give it an atmosphere we can breathe, then go! I talked about this song in the past.



The next two are in Russian.

Glukoza Nostra makes good videos for their songs. This one is a take-off of the Matrix and World of Warcraft. I talked about this group before.



I like to think of Valery Meladze as a Russian Tom Jones. ViaGra is an all-girl group. I talked about them back in 2007.



This song (German) was a big hit in the eighties.



Don't what they're singing? No problem! The song was popular enough that they released an English version.

Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places

You never know where you will find that someone special.

Maybe in Mexico.
