I'm a fan of foreign music. I don't think you necessarily need to understand a song's lyrics to enjoy it. I have tons of Spanish-language music as well as Italian, French, Portuguese, and even Zulu. There's this one foreign-language band I listen to, but I have yet to figure out what language they're singing in. The lyrics are sort of a hybrid of English and something else (Turkish?). The song is called "Yellow Ledbetter". I sped up the guitar solo to save you some time.
Edited to add: My apologies to all the Pearl Jam fans out there (Beckeye) for butchering the hell out of this song, but come on, you have to admit some of the lyrics are hard to understand. I actually like the song. I think it's catchy.
*Edited to add- Don't worry, I found the actual lyrics:

Old Man River...
If you've been watching my series of "singing-in-the-car" videos, you're probably under the misconception that I don't have a very good singing voice. I made this video to dispel that ridiculous notion. As usual, Megan tried to sabotage my efforts.
Production note: Trying to come up with posts lately has been like trying to eject the most stubborn of turds. It's been a real struggle. I've really had to grit my teeth and bear down, so unfortunately for you, dear reader, whatever comes out is what you get.

Embarrassing Yourself...
I am a firm believer in the good that comes from self-deprecation. Without it, we start to take ourselves too seriously which can lead to a whole bunch of problems. If you have a few minutes, feel free to watch me humiliate myself as I drive to my office and "sing" along in my car. If you can actually sit through the awfulness and list all the songs (or at least all the artists)I'm butchering, I will reward you in some way.
I'm not sure why the video is so jerky. I never claimed to be Fellini or anything.

Car Singing...
This YouTube thing could be habit forming. Like many of you, I like to sing in the car. I like to sing loud. Here's me doing a little singalong with Jack & KG this past winter. For those of you not familiar with "The D", this isn't safe for work or around small children.
