Despacito !!

Really starting to get on my nerves now with the amount of radio airtime this rubbish is getting, at least 3 times a day at work :rant:

However got me thinking about other songs in foreign languages that have entered the UK charts, Je t'aime was probably the first, others I remember were chanson d'amour by Manhatten Transfer and Sonne by Ramstein. This one however is still my favourite -

I have to admit mine was Rock Me Amadeus by Falco, in fact I enjoyed a fair few songs of his.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Shakera had one that was decent.

Macarena - chorus is in Spanish but doesn't detract from its catchy pop silliness.

 

[Khamelion]

NOt sure if it made the UK charts, but a damn good song Feuer Frei

[USER1999]

always preferred the foreign version of 99 balloons

Ditto for me too.

Sash, Encore une fois is another foreign song in the charts.

Surprised no one has mentioned "Joe Le Taxi" by Jonny Depps ex squeeze , Vanessa Paradis

Rammstein convinced me that German language and heavy rock are a great match. Sonne is a great track.
