Alt-Language Music

We needed a thread that for music in alternate languages ( at least that's what I thought). So I decided to make one.

Because MAP is such a multi-national forum, I thought that we could have members post their favorite songs in any language, other than English.

So mappers fire away!

I know its mainstream, but I don't care!

 

These are a few of my favourite songs sang in foreign. I apologise for both my poor taste in music and the swear words Have fun listening to these, pop fans!

Ebba Grön, an old Swedish punk band.
