I just posted this on my log. This was in Italy's Top 10 last summer and was catchy enough to get stuck in my head even before I understood the lyrics:

FRENCH:

I heard Edith Piaf's "Non, je ne regrette rien" and Serge Gainsbourg & Brigitte Bardot's "Bonnie & Clyde" on the same day. I have not stopped listening to them (and singing along) every day for the past month!

PERSIAN:

This song turned someone who was vehemently opposed to dancing and had two left feet into a huge fan of Bandari music. Sandy's (Dokhtar Ahvazi) "Emsho Shoshe."

GERMAN:

This song is what began my German curiosity: Rammstein's "Feuer Frei!"

For me it has to be this one. I was really into k-pop at that time and wanted to find something similar in Mandarin, but all I could find were snoozefest ballads, until i stumbled upon this in 2014.




Though I have to say that recently this song from 2004 that samples "Daddy Cool" has been stuck in my head. It was used in some commercial for 抖音/musical.ly on YouTube. It's highly addicting, so watch with caution only!

This is the first Spanish song that I absolutely loved and couldn't get enough of back in 2012ish. This band is still my absolute favourite Spanish band today.

In German, this one... My penfriend copied it to a cassette and posted it to me - those were the days :lol:



In Esperanto, it has to be this one. I haven't managed to get it out of my head since I heard it at the first event I went to a decade ago.



In Croatian, definitely this one :)

Don't be embarrassed....I love Shakira! Her songs are just catchy....at least to a person who isn't a native Spanish speaker. I own the Dónde Están los Ladrones CD and have no shame listening to it in my truck with the windows down lol

Not my TL but this was stuck in my head forever:




My TL is Spanish and I've had MANY songs stuck in my head over the years. I'll always remember watching this in junior high Spanish class though. I think the whole class had it stuck in our heads for a few weeks

French

I think Zaz's 'On Ira' was the first french song I really liked.


But Stacey Kent's cover of 'Ces Petits riens' is the one I never get tired of.
