Here's one of my favorites (by the way, it's called "Love Is Blue" by Paul Mauriat):

wonderful melody. I didn't realize the song had lyrics until I heard it on a Marty Robbins CD

I like listening to foreign-language songs that I do not know the words to...


(okay, that one wasn't serious)

You know, there are a few anime series theme songs that I really loved to listen to, even though I didn't understand any of the Japanese lyrics.  Then I read an English translation of the lyrics and thought... Dang, that's not a very good song at all, in English. But in Japanese it sounded awesome. :shrug:

Very low tech back in the early days but Angus was the show. Everybody else on the stage stayed out of his way.

He'd be ok if he could come out of his shell a little.

This Chinese-language song sounds pretty epic (this is Spanish subtitles n bottom, lol, and pinyin -Chinese written in English letters- at the top). I have no idea what the lyrics are in English.

Have you ever heard a song or song clip in a commercial and it either sounded familiar but you couldn’t quite place it or you’ve never heard it before and what to know what it is?

Yup, that's a really good example of what I meant... catchy song even if you can't understand the lyrics!

When I was a kid this was on the radio non-stop and I thought it was creepy as a kid and for the longest time did not know who sang it.

@jmyrlefuller @Sanguine

That one actually has lyrics beyond MAD...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD4ib9-laGY (the original)

And in English...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqa9eVL67HQ

"Love Is Blue"

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world since I'm without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away

Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart

When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Gone, gone, the love we knew
Blue is my world now I'm without you.
