    • OK, # 9 is no doubt a bad answer, but I didn’t just say it because it’s an SDMB cliche. I genuinely can’t think of a song by a foriegn singer about America in general. At least the Rio Grande is partially in America, and Duran Duran were British.

Actually, Rio is about the U.S. It was Duran Duran’s tribute to their American fanbase. The female is a personification, not an actual person.

  2. Robbie Nevil, 1987. #1 for two weeks.
    4a. headsmack How did I forget “99 Luftballons?” We’re trying to teach my daughter the German lyrics!
  3. The Guess Who version, not the Lenny Kravitz version.
  4. Not sure if these guys actually qualify, but I like them, so they made my list, anyway.

On further review of other people’s answers … look, I have a LOT of music on my iPod, and a LOT of songs that other people mentioned as answers for all these questions, and the best “foreign language” song I could come up with was “C’est La Vie”? Really? I’m a dumbass. (Although I do love that song.)
