Anime OP dont usually get me- I kind of see them as their own genre. However Nostalgic Rainfall by Chic0 with Honeyworks is something I listen to every little while.
Also for the young me, growing up in an Modern Orthodox enclave, but completely immersed in NuMetal, Synergia's Khum Uli August had my number. My friend brought back three whole albums from his birthright trip. I still listen to them when I work out. I miss that guy sometimes, too.
Gangnam Style, obviously

What is the thread without Dragostea din tei.
Also 99 Luftballons
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.
"Was hast du Gedacht" by GZUZ. I know there's a ton of german hip hop but there needs to be more and bigger.
Interesting. Looks like I can't view it from Germany
Huh, that's pretty funny
Du Hast?
You. You have. You have me.
You. You hate. You hate me.
The song is a German pun, a delightful example of German humour.

Scott & Zelda by Bibi
Definitely Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone
I wanted to thank you. I was laying in bed depressed as fuck and I saw your comment and remembered how much I used to love that song. I discovered it on YouTube back when I was a kid. I listened to it probably a hundred times back then. I listened twice after seeing your comment. Thanks for reminding me of an actually happy memory. Truly a timeless and beautiful song. The English version isn't bad either.
I'm glad I could bring back a happy memory for you.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with depression, I know it's different for everyone but I can relate and wouldn't wish that torture on my worst enemy. I hope you're able to find the support that you need, and can break out of that horrible situation.
Please feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Came here to second this. Can not hear it without doing the arm pumps
Haha yes absolutely! For those that don't get the reference, here's an absolute gem of a video from the early internet days.
Yokozuna by the Garlicboys
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

It was sampled too, so you may recognize it. https://www.whosampled.com/Kourosh-Yaghmaei/Gol-e-Yakh/
Ma-ia-hii, Ma-ia-huu!
Boten Anna
Lumiere from Clair Obscur.
The Pillows entire catalogue.
99 Luftballons.
Rollin' Girls by Wowaka.
Carameldansen
Dragostea Din Tei
Really, tho, if it slaps, it transcends language 🤷♂️
there's a couple Japanese songs that are bangers but the lyrics are incredibly sad just like Japanese people bopped to something like pumped up kids
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.

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.
Over the last few years I've really been getting into Japanese rock and have fallen in love with a hard rock group called BAND-MAID. They do a cool blend of hard rock, metal aesthetics, and pop.
I find myself singing poorly to a lot of their music, but Manners is an especially fun one. A blues driven hard rock song with a lot of push and pull. Awesome vocal performance by the two main vocalists. The bassist MISA is always creative too.
I really like the theme song for Dan-Da-Dan.
Naruto/Boruto had some good ones over their runs, too.
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.

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!
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).

Most songs from heilung. I love alfadirhaiti, anoana, and in maidjan krisgaldr is also amazing, othan. Live versions imo are waay better than recorded versions.
Another one from a different band, wardruna, helvegen with aurora is amazing.
Chaile chaile
Oh, and

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.
