    Lots of Polish music:

    Sexy Doll by Republika
    Mówię Ci, że by Tilt
    Fajki i Alkohol by Andy
    Zima by Natalia Szroeder
    Gdzie jest biały węgorz ? by Cypis

    I gave up trying to learn Polish because of its immense difficulty. I only speak English fluently but I've taken up an interest in Esperanto.

          Leek spin
          https://youtu.be/GCO62VNm67k

          Which is actually the Finnish song "Ievan polkka" and not just scatting/jibberish as I always naively used to think

          Except it is just scatting. The leekspin version and the Miku version of the song is just the scatting parts of the Loituma arrangement. The full Loituma version, Korpiklaani version or one of the many recorded versions from Finnish folk singers have the actual lyrics. They do actually include a scatted part, usually after every verse, but Loituma atleast extended it for a full verse of scatting, which the Miku version made into a full song.

          For the record, the lyrics are about the main character of the song dancing polka with the girl he loves (Ieva), whose "proper" and religious parents don't approve of the mc or dancing in general. So after they dance and go home, the mom of Ieva catches them and makes Ieva cry, the mc threatens the mom to leave them alone and professes his love for Ieva. Then they go on to dance more polka. It's great.

            Pretty much the whole soundtrack to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's all done up in French and I only know bonjor, baguette, and fromage. But it just sounds right for the mood of the game 😮

                  I always thought Regin Smidur by Týr captured exactly the kind of vibes I'd expect from Viking metal. But I've never known what the lyrics are about, and probably don't want to.

                    I non-ironically quite like the leek spin song (Ievan Polkka).

                        Baba Yetu, the Swahili opening to the game Civilization 4. Wikipedia says it's the first song made for a video game to win a Grammy.

                          And mine. I only ever partly learned the dance. I did eventually get The Roop (2021/2022)'s dances, and of course Konstrakta's.

                            A great song from Sweden - the only song in Swedish at Melodifestivalen (the national final) and KAJ are actually Finnish! They're of a Swedish-speaking minority in Finland.

                                The classic answer is La Bamba. Love the song, no idea what the lyrics are.
