charlytune, “Prisencolinensinainciusol” by Adriano Celentano. I don’t know if we could really say what language it’s in, but I definitely don’t speak it.
clay_pidgin, I have shown this to so many people. I guess it’s not harder to learn nonsense words than words in a language you don’t know.
fleet, (edited ) Love this thread. Here are some of my favs off the top of my head. My music tastes are all over the place.
jpreston2005, searched for Elis Regina - Aguas de Marco before I posted it, glad to see it’s here. such a beautiful song
iarigby, Omg Dakhabrakha’s baby is one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard. The lyrics are in Ukranian but can be vaguely understood from Russian and damn they hurt. You might’ve already seen but here is the English translation
pastermil, Nier Replicant & Nier Automata soundtracks
All in chaos language (a.k.a. pure gibberish).
StineD, Have you listened to Hanezeve Caradhina from Made in Abyss? youtube.com/watch?v=sFzDQ2OjFko
The anime is really dark, but have some bright and hopeful moments which this song captures so well.
Caesium, yes, I am obsessed with songs with non-language lyrics! I know of four sources (including Nier) that does it and I just love it
pastermil, Is Cult of the Lamb soundtrack in that list?
Caesium, I haven’t, actually! looks like I’ll need to give it a listen
grue, Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol:
Both the name of the song and its lyrics are gibberish but are intended to sound like English in an American accent.
Celentano’s intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. The intent was to demonstrate how English sounds to people who do not understand the language proficiently.
thefactremains, (edited ) Manu Chao - clandestino
fleet, That whole album is amazing.
Iamsqueegee, Prisencolinensinainciusol by Adriano Celentano

Tanz mit Mir by Faun

Nemo, “Teresa Rampell” by Manel. It’s in Catalan.
ngvx, I know a song in Catalan too > Rosalía - Milionària
CH3DD4R_G0BL1N, 
Asilos Magdalena by Mars Volta
I like all their stuff, but that’s the only one I can think of that is completely in Spanish

In the early 200x, I was listening to an Argentinean punk rock group called Dos Minutos.
None of the song names really stick out to me (of course), but here’s a link to one.
DizzoMyNizzo, Gangnam Style
Jarix, Ave Maria
inconel, Shchedryk (Ukranian original version of Carol of the Bells) comes to mind. Folk rhymes better with their original tongue in general
dditty, Tunak Tunak Tun will forever be a banger.
