For me i’d say vocaloid when i was younger. No clue about now, maybe some russian songs like igorek.
I caught some Icelandic rap the other night on that global radio website and now I need to find it. I caught some Algerian rap - rap again, even though it’s usually not my thing - a few months back, too, and it was awesome.
Anything from the hu
That is some seriously addictive stuff. Good call.
中西 圭三 - Woman
Nakanishi Keizō - Woman
(Japanese; my Japanese only good enough to catch a few snippets)
One I came to love because the guy in the room next to me when I lived in Japan kept playing it over and over until I did. Also featured in my first (and last!) attempt at doing karaoke in front of Japanese people.

The Ukrainian crunk equivalent of “No Scrubs”? (IIRC read an article explaining how the song is about terrible men hitting on her)

(Haitian Creole & English; I only know a few words in Creole)
A konpa track I think sampled by Wyclef Jean. https://youtu.be/McUmXoB_9ywI like several songs by Stromae and don’t understand French.
The classic answer is La Bamba. Love the song, no idea what the lyrics are.
Baba Yetu, the Swahili opening to the game Civilization 4. Wikipedia says it’s the first song made for a video game to win a Grammy.
I non-ironically quite like the leek spin song (Ievan Polkka).
This is a significant fraction of my music collection.
99 luftballoons!that’s it, until I learned german

Lots of Polish music:
Sexy Doll by Republika
Mówię Ci, że by Tilt
Fajki i Alkohol by Andy
Zima by Natalia Szroeder
Gdzie jest biały węgorz ? by CypisI gave up trying to learn Polish because of its immense difficulty. I only speak English fluently but I’ve taken up an interest in Esperanto.
Always liked the melody to this 王七七Wang QiQi song:
MONO NO AWARE - かむかもしかもにどもかも！
No clue on the lyrics but the melody along with the lyrics are excellent
