  8. 99 Luftballoons
6867

I don’t think this counts, since “99 Luftballons” is the title of the orginal German version. The English version is “99 Red Balloons.”

But I considered adding “Der Komissar” (the English version by After the Fire, not the original German version by Falco).

6868

I considered that one (it’s one of my favorite songs, in fact), as well as ABBA’s “Voulez-Vous,” and A Taste of Honey’s “Sukiyaki,” but all of those have another few non-English words. This is a hard category! :smiley:

A spoken word recording, but one that charted, and with background music and choral accompaniment. “Desiderata” is Latin for “something desired as essential.”

6872

Disalllowed. Not a “foreign language”

6873

Seems pretty foreign to me. It’s, like, outta this world! You dig?

6874

It’s not a foreign language if it is not a language spoken and understood by people primarily in a foreign country.
