Baba Yetu by Stellenbosch Choir (or anyone actually)
To be honest, there are a lot of songs that i mightsing along to that i have no clue what the real lyrics are. I was just jamming to some old skool Nevermind earlier today!
Any (shounen) anime opening/ending songs- One piece, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Angel Beats, Noragami. Yu-Gi-Oh (dub) doesn't have any lyrics, but it still goes hard AF even after 15+ years.
anything that ado has sung for/covered tbh

Cariñito - Los Hijos del Sol
Although I do know un poco español...
Bella Ciao
First that came to my mind
Du Hast?
La Bamba, the OG.
bit of an odd one here: Space-Patrol (Raumpatrouille) - only german intro, but it's a fuckin banger
Gangnam Style, obviously
[Korean lyrics]
"Heeeeeyyyyyyy sexy lady!"
[Korean lyrics]
Fuck yeah!
Psy's music video for "Gentleman" is also really good.
What is the thread without Dragostea din tei.
Also 99 Luftballons
100%. My jam is 90s grunge, but anyone who doesn't think Dragostea din tie is an absolute banger doesn't really have a soul.
Ussewa
Based
Definitely Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone
Came here to second this. Can not hear it without doing the arm pumps
Haha yes absolutely! For those that don't get the reference, here's an absolute gem of a video from the early internet days.
a lot of songs from Caravan Palace
Pearl Jam - Ledbetter
*Yellow Ledbetter
Legend has it the only person to ever truly understand the lyrics to this song was David Hasselhoff, but he forgot them halfway through eating that cheeseburger.
Barobax - Baba to ki hasti
Man there's a surprising amount of Finnish songs here. Torille
Engel, by Rammstein.
Erst, wenn die Wolken schlafen geh'n
Kann man uns am Himmel seh'n
Wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiß, ich will kein Engel sein
No idea what any of that means!
It's actually kinda in English. This was made by a Spanish/Italian guy so English speakers could "hear" what English sounds like to a non-speaker. Song still slaps tho
I speak English and Duolingo German. And read some old Greek.
- Porter - Hombre Máquina
- Ana Tijoux - Shock
- Silbermond - intro (Die Mutigen)
These groups have tons of great songs, but these are the first that come to mind for me.
Over the last few years I've really been getting into Japanese rock and have fallen in love with a hard rock group called BAND-MAID. They do a cool blend of hard rock, metal aesthetics, and pop.
I find myself singing poorly to a lot of their music, but Manners is an especially fun one. A blues driven hard rock song with a lot of push and pull. Awesome vocal performance by the two main vocalists. The bassist MISA is always creative too.
Doesn't get me singing, but it def gets me moving Somoku by Hakushi Hasegawa
Legend by Otyken is also way up there for me
Edit: listening to the album for the upteenthjillion time and couldn't help myself but to share another gem
The drums go hard enough to shatter bones and it is literally a perfect song
checking out somoku, this is so good! the vocal melody and lyrics are oddly familiar but I can't place it, definitely would have remembered this schizoid instrumentation (not an insult I love this shit!) if I had heard this before
listening to the whole album now, great recommendation!
Love to hear it, dude. My favorite description of their music was simply put as "music 2.0" lol. Hakushi deserves way more recognition than they're getting!
Besides all the Japanese anime and city pop songs I enjoy listening to, here are some international bangers I can't help but dance to:
My favorite comment on it is "My balls dropped during this video. And my I'm a 35-year-old woman."
This song has been in heavy rotation for literally decades on both my "workout" playlist and my "thinking and programming" playlist. 100% true: I have gotten dates with attractive girls because they were intrigued by what I was listening to (this song).

感じている by Saury might be my favorite song of all time, I might have fucked it up by having it as my alarm sound for a while but it was just so good at getting me up and pumped!
Not exactly yelling or dancing, but I cycle a lot and when Burning by Hitsujibungaku comes on I pedal way harder and will usually beat my personal best for the segment that I'm riding.
It's the outro to season 2 of Oshi no Ko which is a fantastic show by the way.
caramelldansen, the fast version
Too many to list, dating at least back to 99 Luftballons.
This is the most recent one: Pacifica - Soltame
Pacifica is great and have a lot of English language music too.
