A little more modern song than the ones I posted, In the '80's a handful of foreign language songs made the charts. The English and German versions of this song got a lot of radio play. Normally an 'abrasive' sounding language. IMO, Nena's German version of the song was better than her English version.
Singer: Nena
Song: 99 Luftbalons
Language: German
Oh yes I also prefer Nena's German version of 99 Luftbalons. Foreign language songs from the 80s? I bet you remember this one (and yes another good one for Haley):
Song: Lambada
Band: Kaoma (Brazil)
Language: Portuguese
