Favorite Non American Songs

[Katheryne Helendale]

Okay, they may be mainstream, but, as the only stipulation is non-American -- I love me some Pogues!

 

[Essence Lumin]

I just discovered this so it isn't a "favorite" but it is certainly non American and certainly different and interesting.

[Monica Dream]

tired of Taylor Swift, Beyonce , cardi B and Derulo...

I'm looking for Songs from groups or Artist not in North America or from the US... not on billboard 100. ( Sorry BTS) They can sing in English but not required..(Not international artists. Sorry Shakira! ) I've learned from watching Eurovision youtube how many non-Americans sing in perfect English.

Shit, I never ever saw this thread until now, holy hell...

So, um Sweden:

Germany;


UK;

I unironically love a lot of Syd Barrett's songs, because they're painfully wistful...

An Austrian pop classic from 1981 about the absurdity of modern (work) life, the yearning and reluctance for a change.

Austrians singing about islands are in danger of staying there, see for yourself:

 

[Luisa Land]

a song from Bavaria

"When the maypole stands on the village square again and everything revolves around the girls, when they show off their hot dirndls,(their dress)
......
Turn around, turn around, until the dance floor cracks."

The erection of the maypole is a very lively tradition in many villages in southern and western Germany. In the village I know well, the maypole is erected by the young unmarried men.

For me, this video shows pure joie de vivre and as many commentators write: it shows what many of us miss in these Corona times

Definitely a few here I wanna check out later. My personal fav (and played the hell out of on my spotify) is Daughters of Reykjavík (icelandic)

Is it possible to have this thread without Dalida?
This is a tape from TopPop a Dutch TV show about the hitparade.
World stars came to produce a clip here.
If you watch carefully at the audience you can see two world famous women from Sweden.
Most likely they made one of their clips the same day.
