No doubt you've heard 'Gangnam Style' from South Korean artist PSY. It's a hot song and very dancible even though he's singing in Korean. Even if you have no idea what the lyrics are about, you can't deny a great song is a great song. Before you get all bent out of shape or something like this, know that there have been other hit songs that weren't sung in English. Here are a few.

Los Lobos - La Bamba

When the hit movie came out in the 80s, Los Lobos took the Ritchie Valens hit and did it justice.

Coincedentally being released with the movie came out, Falco had everyone singing along in German.
