Mixed language music

[Tiger]

So I'm really divided on this. Some songs in two languages are good like Time to Say Goodbye, but there's also some songs in Japanese anime that are in Japanese and English. To me, they usually sound tacky. Am I the only one who has mixed feelings on songs that mix languages? I'll post my very favorite mixed-language song and one that I think is weird. I was trying to find one that's in English and German and one in Spanish and English, but I could not find them. Oh well. I also wanted to note that the first theme song for Naruto: Shippuden was alright,

i just need to say this....ew....Naruto has a good themes.....not in english....english versions i always disliked.

 

Um...your not alone in thinking translations between languages is wierd. I guess in english when we say "I need to go to the bathroom" in french..they would say "The bathroom i need" if directly translated. So yeah ur not alone *Hugs*

Weird song but I love it. I love it when they play it during the action scenes as well. The Major kicks major ass Edited April 26, 2010 by pitchan

I find it extremely annoying when japanese/chinese/korean artists insist on inserting random [horribly pronounced] English phrases into their songs. Here's one that I do enjoy though:

 

 

And everyone knows this song : )

If a song is good, the language of the lyric doesn't matter.
