              Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, though I think I heard it on NicoNico Douga before it became known as the NumaNuma Song.

                A lot of songs come to mind, actually.

                But if I had to pick just one, it would be MC Solaar's Carpe Diem.

                My French is shaky at best, so back when I stumbled upon MC Solaar (maybe it was via Bearshare), I could barely understand the gist of what was said - and even with a much better understanding, many of the "retro" references in this song specifically would have made no sense to me.

                But it evoked a weird sense of nostalgia in me - a longing for a time/things, that I had no connection to (so I shouldn't even feel any nostalgia):

                https://youtube.com/watch?v=6-YCancrrBI

                PS: If I had to pick something more popular, it would be Plastic Love by Mariya Takeuchi (got recommended by YouTube back when it made its first comeback wave in 2011, I think).

                        Many songs if I like enough I figure out some of the words when looking for the title. Otherwise I remember them then forget them for a while. A couple famous examples I like:

                        Dschinghis Khan - Moskau, it's a bop, i know the melody but lyrics I only know parts of.

                        O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tea - this one of course I know front to back but I don't know what a single word means.

                          My first introduction to them was Yuve Yuve Yu, also a banger.

                          I got a little hyper fixated on throat singing one week and they popped into my feed. Bike rides and road trips have never been the same.

                            I know enough Spanish to understand the lyrics now, but loved that song before I knew what it was saying.

                              The band Creepy Nuts is a Japanese rap(?) group that did the Dandadan opening, but I also really like their opening for Mashle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLW35YMzELE

                                If I like a song, I make a deliberate effort to learn the lyrics and what they mean. People wrote those lyrics for a reason.

                                Or do you just want to dance?

                                    I think they also did the opening and closing for Call of the Night, but of which are also great.

                                      I basically love city pop cus it has great groove, rhythm and usually the few English words in the lyrics reassuring me that it’s usually about love or a metaphor of it.

                                        Polish cow song. The melody itself is from another song, "How long - Lipps, inc" apparently. But both songs do well with that beat.
