    I got really into German punk a few years ago. Some of my favorites.

    Die Ärzte Schrei nach Liebe

    Wizo Raum Der Zeit

    Die Toten Hosen Hier kommt Alex

      Die Ärtze are cool. I like many of their songs, but I DO speak (some) German so I couldn’t list it here.

        My German is limited to what I remember from taking high school German nearly 30 years ago (basically cursing and asking how much the calculator costs), so I figured it was safe for me to post them.

    Eivør - Trøllabundin

    I have listened to it so much that I know the lyrics perfectly, and it’s even possible my pronunciation is close to correct, yet I don’t speak a word of Faroese.

    The entire sound track for FLCL by The Pillows.

    When that show was new, I could sing them all. Kinda. I certainly had no idea what the words were, but I listened to them enough that I could fake it lol
