    Purpose of this thread is to get to know some music from other countries that one would not normally hear (American music is very popular in Europe as well, but much less so vice versa).

    Can be old or new and any genre/language.

    Some of them might sound strange to our American friends, but perhaps some could also be interesting. It would be great to get some comments from you if you like some of the songs - happy to translate lyrics, etc.

    I'll start. I'll spare you Rammstein or Kraftwerk or Nena or Scorpions as they are a little more known in the US already.

    Ballads:

    German band Soehne Mannheims with lead singer Xavier Naidoo: "Und wenn ein Lied"

    <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RtuW08ZIgvg&hl=de_DE&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RtuW08ZIgvg&hl=de_DE&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>


    German singer Herbert Groenemeyer (he was also one of the main actors in the movie "Das Boot" if some of you remember that): "Glueck" (this is not the original video, looks like the record company got that off YouTube)

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q7tgiPweh8A&hl=de_DE&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q7tgiPweh8A&hl=de_DE&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>


    Rap/Hip-Hop/Dancehall/Reggae:

    Seeed: "Ding"

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_yWU0lFghxU&hl=de_DE&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_yWU0lFghxU&hl=de_DE&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    Some old-school stuff from Austrian Falco (sort of the German-speaking version of MC Hammer back in the day, RIP): "Der Kommissar"

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_w4Xulsjo5I&hl=de_DE&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_w4Xulsjo5I&hl=de_DE&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    Pop/Rock

    Beatsteaks: "I don't care as long as you sing"

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DGpPhqnnOyg&hl=de_DE&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DGpPhqnnOyg&hl=de_DE&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    And a little flashback from the 80s: Alphaville: "Big in Japan" (I think Jay-Z covered their song "Forever Young" recently)

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c98qdFQF7sw&hl=de_DE&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c98qdFQF7sw&hl=de_DE&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    Most of my favorite songs as a child came from South Indian devotional movies. Some samples from Sri Ramanjaneya Yuddham:

    I'm feeling nostalgic.

    Here's a fun song from a very popular 80s Tamil movie (Salangai Oli) that some here may recognize:

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LkPxCJ5ux-c&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LkPxCJ5ux-c&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    Edit: Actually, it was dubbed into Tamil. The original movie was Telugu, called Sagara Sangamam.
