Sounds good. Kinda reminds me of Buck 65 for some reason. My brother was looking for Russian music just the other day, he'll probably enjoy that one too.

[idgiehkt]

6. Delfin rocks

the one I wanted to post was "love" which is awesome, but my computer timed out in the middle of it which always screws up the video for some reason.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=zX9LhIIK6Qs

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Ummm...

Okay.

[Omphaloskepsis]

10. It was a bad joke. 2 am in the PNW.

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Haha, it's 6:09 AM here, too late for me to pick up on bad jokes.

Even though I laughed anyway because Puffy just does that to me.

Do you know if an english translation exists?

This is an oldie, but it's classic Edith Piaf: Non, Je ne regrette rien.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzJjbHAlMVI

[ghostsofgiants]

18. I don't think so. They write and perform exclusively in Japanese as far as I know.

[Heidi]

20. My favorite Edith Piaf song _ever_.

And I owe you a CD, my friend. :hug:

[speedoo]

26. I am looking forward to it!

Thanks for remembering... but please don't go to any trouble.:hug:

Edith was so wonderful. The Sparrow, right?

25. Can't go wrong with Sugarcubes

Some more Icelandic goodness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goN9NapOyoQ

[idgiehkt]

28. wow.

this is gorgeous. I'm getting chills.

[ghostsofgiants]

29. Sigur Ros are amazing.

And have one of the eeriest, most amazing music videos ever in this (courtesy of the brilliant Floria Sigismondi): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0AZIFmkogY

[idgiehkt]

32. um, wow.

definitely art.

He's got a nice voice, nice-looking, too. :)

Glad you liked him!:hi:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IzQ_mR0VO8

[MissHoneychurch]

35. No Heidi, you didn't just do that!!!

[Heidi]

37. I apologize.

This should make up for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K3NSnTIMcg&mode=related&search=

[MissHoneychurch]

33. Run Lola run - soundtrack

Franka Potente and Thomas D.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFWqlAq2hrY


Thomas D. is part of a band called "Die Fantastischen Vier". One of my favorites by them: Tag am Meer (Day at the beach) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I15XSuR251c

[speedoo]

39. Those are very cool, MHC!

I really liked Tag am Meer... kind of groovy German rap, huh?:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

44. Yes

Die Fantastischen Vier were the first German rap band. They had quite some hits here in Germany.

:hi:

[Spider Jerusalem]

46. Another from Die Fantastischen Vier...

MfG: http://youtube.com/watch?v=mZC6CNxtBhE

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Love that song also

but if is hard for non-Germans to understand because it is all about things that happened in Germany and all are shortcuts.

Another one. Great break-up song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXGTRdDjPug

[Heidi]

40. German | Rammstein | "Ich Will" (rather disturbing video)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-289001462262964855&q=rammstein

[Connonym]

55. Rammstein's "Du Hast" (also disturbing)

I like the video probably just because I like the song but the video itself has some weird and interesting elements.

[idgiehkt]

41. technically english

some patois:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_St8Kbo4uwU

[caty]

57. Ich Kenne Nichts

http://www.videocodezone.com/videos/x/xavier_naidoo/ich_kenne_nichts_sas_so_schon_ist_wie_du.html

[idgiehkt]

103. that is a really beatiful song, so passionate...here's a youtube link

I finally got it to work today...yesterday it wouldn't open at all.

but it started doing something really weird on my computer so I had to close out of it. Here is that song on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W09KIms6ONE&mode=related&search=

I love songs where they sing in more than one language, I wish there was more of that out there.

[Gatchaman]

58. Frijolero by Molotov

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJlEdSebjDM

Catchy song and cool visuals. A comment on "illegal" immigration from the other side.

[idgiehkt]

83. this is awesome

I didn't have time to look at all of them yesterday.

I love the mix of english and spanish.

[Gatchaman]

59. Moskau by Dschinghis Khan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD3lPGcvtpE

German disco music from the 1970s with a historical bent. Surprisingly excellent. There's a lot of Dschinghis Khan videos on youtube, but this is the best looking one I've seen.

[spillthebeans]

60. There is lot of interesting stuff on youtube

Bobby Solo - Zingara (Italy 1969)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haOod_gVDUE&mode=related&search=
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89tukGirFDQ

Bobby Solo "Una lacrima sul viso" 1964
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXcpWx861E4

Type in "Scopitone" and you get French,German and Italian Scopitone Musicvideos from the 1960's (yes our parents had a MTV , too)

http://scopitones.blogs.com/scopitonescom/

[Briarius]

61. Here's two from Apocalyptica.

Both of them the lyrics are in English, but the band isn't.

Bittersweet
Hope, V2

[idgiehkt]

102. tha Hope video is bad-ass

is that clips from a movie or just from the song?

it looks like a different singer from in the Bittersweet video. I love all the cellos.

Okay, I get from the youtube comments it's a movie but I have no idea which one

[Briarius]

104. I don't know, but you're right

it looks like a cool movie!

[idgiehkt]

105. aarrgghh

I was hoping you would know. all the commenters on youtube seem to know.

[Briarius]

106. well then why don't you post to ask?

:P

[idgiehkt]

107. I wanted YOU to tell me.

Then it would be special. The other way is so cold and impersonal :cry:

Just kidding. I bet if I just run a search for that video another one will come up and I can find out that way, or probably by googling. It looks to be an awesome movie, anyway. Thanks for posting the vids. Is that the same singer or a different guy from the other one, he looks really different to me.

[Briarius]

108. And so I deliver...

It's a French movie, Vidocq:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0164961/

:P

[idgiehkt]

109. okay, duh, lol

that was part of the title but I thought it was just the song.

thanks so much!!


:yourock:

[VespertineIconoclast]

62. I like some Japanese...

songs -- music videos...not so much. But then again the music has to pull me in not the visuals.... But, I have to admit I liked the atmosphere and song of the music video you posted. Thanks for sharing. :)

Here are a few songs for your listening pleasure: ;)

Shiki no Uta - Minmi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utoHODLiqw0

Seishun Kyosokyoko - Sambomaster

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly0tHvyDxtI

And for shits and giggles:

Yatta! Yatta! Yatta!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-feLDOpJfYg

[spillthebeans]

63. Regarding your last video, the Japanese have no sense of shame.

:rofl:

[VespertineIconoclast]

66. No they don't....

:) The tv shows they create --! But for added bonus, I give you survival English for Japanese women: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhUFCgHJ6r4

[spillthebeans]

67. Well.

the survival guide, I don't know if it's going to help the female tourist to survive in a bad neighborhood.


The Tv shows a crazy, and over the top.

But they also made nude rhythmic/gymnastics, which makes this sport more interesting :eyes:



I think this culture is so different that it's seems like it's from another planet.

[VespertineIconoclast]

74. You said it precisely.

"I think this culture is so different that it's seems like it's from another planet." Exactly.

[idgiehkt]

87. that first one is groovy

kind of different in the tempo. Cool.

[aePrime]

64. I love this band

And this video has a nice liberal message, if you watch the whole thing. You don't even have to understand the words.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEexx5BR5eY

[idgiehkt]

70. a really beautiful sound, French is always beautiful

beautiful video too, thanks for posting it.

[aePrime]

77. You're welcome

I'm glad somebody enjoyed it.

[bridgit]

65. well alright, now we're getting somewhere ~ Tribal Fusion - Vestacha Mora...

Tribal Fusion - Vestacha Mora

Ekova - Siip Siie (LIVE)

68. Oh. My. God. I will never be the same. Stunning.

I'm going to die of lust now...don't mind me.


this is so incredibly gorgeous, Bridgit. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

*thud*

seriously though, it's about time someone combined the ancient with the new as far as these dance forms go.

[idgiehkt]

85. More Vestacha Mora

just because

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmG1qSYZdjk

better than porn.

[bridgit]

86. good stuff...

[hsher]

69. Closer by Trent Reznor, video directed by Mark Romanek

Romanek could direct traffic from under the sea.

[idgiehkt]

72. India (Bollywood): Chaiya Chaiya, from the movie Dil Se

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-7tQOAIUZY

[hsher]

80. I **love** Bollywood music videos!

There was one Britney Spears completely ripped off for "Hit Me Baby" - set in a high school on a basketball court, and everything. Spears's version was complete plagiarism - the Indian video was first by about a year. Even the lead singer's outfit was ripped off. Guess they figured, "buncha Indians. No one will ever see the correlation."

Well *I* did.

I also like how Indian music videos and the Indian recording industry allows women older than twenty-nine to cut albums and singles, and presents them as beautiful, desirable and deserving of fans even when they're fiftysomething. There was a Cinderella-style video by a very popular Indian vocalist in her fifties a few years ago... what was it? I can't remember her name or the video. Also that Sikh guy who's really popular is FANTASTIC. He did a video where he was tiny and advising the beautiful lead actress like a genie. He does very fast, uptempo songs. What's his name? He's a superstar in India and here I am unable to recall his frickin' name!

[tuvor]

94. An all-time favourite. Here are a couple others I've posted on YT.

Dilbar Dilbar from Sirf Tum
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDb58heRzpo

and Mehmoob Mere from Fiza
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3EvdB3Wk3w

[idgiehkt]

97. I love the Dilbar, Dilbar one, it's awesome

I have seen the second one before; man, it is really amazing. I wish we had films like this in the U.S. She has to be one of the most beautiful women alive right now.

[idgiehkt]

75. Rasha - Diya Wo Ailan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmd9xvhne2A&mode=related&search=

this woman has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. This is a fan vid, I couldn't find the one I wanted to post, which is "Salib Fuddi", but it's worth listening to.

[ornotna]

76. Nina Hagen

Not my favorite, but it made me chuckle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RONKN1FNOyI

[spillthebeans]

82. I never understood art, but she has always different outfits

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiadpacqZMU&mode=related&search=


or mixing Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" music with Michael Jackson's "Beat it" to background music

81. Mundian To Bach Ke - Punjabi MC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZNaoptE3h8

[idgiehkt]

84. wow.

that is a neat video. Nice beat in that song too, very pretty.

[Kutjara]

91. It was a big hit in the UK.

The beat in the background is actually the theme from "Knightrider." I know, I know. Don't tell anyone.

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

88. Tanz Mit Laibach-Laibach

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWGcFCcVlU4

[idgiehkt]

90. very powerful

what is he singing about? sounds serious.

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

98. i was never too sure what he was singing about

till I looked up the lyrics

We all are possessed
we all are damned
we all are crucified
we all are broken
by attractive technology
by economics of time
by quality of life
and the philosophy of war

one, two, three, four
come dance with me baby brother,
one, two, three, four
give me both your hands
one, two, three, four
dance with me my friends
one, two, three, four
round around, it isn't difficult

we dance to Ado Hinkel
Benzino Napoloni
we dance to Schiekelgrueber
and dance with Maitreya
with Totalitarianism
and with democracy
we dance with Fascism
and red anarchy

one, two, three, four
come dance with me comrade
one, two, three, four
give me both your hands
one, two, three, four
come dance with me comrade
one, two, three, four
round around, it isn't difficult

we dance and we jump
we hop and we sing
we fall and rise
we give or take
American friend and
German comrade
we dance well together
we dance to Baghdad

one, two, three, four
come dance with me baby brother,
one, two, three, four
give me both your hands
one, two, three, four
dance with me my friends,
one, two, three, four
round around, it isn't difficult

[Bear down under]

92. Does opera count?

Anyway, I'm nominating the 1975 Salzburg Festival film of Hans Werner Henze's realisation of Monteverdi's Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria.

[TimeChaser]

99. Ichirin no Hana by High and Mighty Color (Japanese)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC5qWmOc3-Y

[idgiehkt]

101. awesome!

love the screaming and the guitar solo. I wonder why they have the girl singer, it kind of makes them seem a little bit more pop than if they just had the guys...not to sound discrminatory, but it's like they are mostly hard-core and she softens them up a bit. I guess it could be intentional, to appeal to a wider market or something. Great band, thanks for that.

[electricmonk]

110. Analena - Wiederholungszwang

One of my favorite bands of the last 6 years or so and near the top of my list of bands I really, really want to see live. Some of their songs are in English but I don't think this one is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz9DbrUwhJQ
