Songs That Include Some Non-English Lyrics
Discussion
Blondie sung many songs with French lyrics and in French where they had hits in French.
Sunday girl. Call me. There’s even a line in Rapture that’s French. No wonder I couldn’t understand the rap when I was a kid!
And of course DHs French Kissing in the USA has a repetitive French phrase.
Wiki:
A bit of trivia about the song Denis – It was originally recorded by American doo-wop group Randy & the Rainbows in 1963 but back then was called Denise. Changing it to a song about a boy sounded better with a silent “s” so the boy became French. Debbie sang the last two verses in that language although a bit of poetic license was used it seems with grammar, but who cared – Debbie in her swimsuit could sing the telephone directory, badly, and still get away with it.
