Would you listen to music in a language you didn't understand?

On the odd occasion I do, but I mostly hear short sound tracks in movies which I tend to chase. When there is something being played live, the circumstances are different. I can enjoy mostly anything; just maybe not watching fat people on stage dressed as lumberjacks while screaming for 3 hours on end (theatrical).

yes i do but i find english lyrics sound better then in my own language

yes i do,i'll listen the good tunes

I might..
It really depends on the song itself.

I listen,italian and english songs ,because i like it

gangsta rap, i'm not really sure what's going on there but sounds ok.

I prefer music in English but I will listen to italian or spanish (not mariachi bands) if the beat and singing is good.

Yes, i listen to Rammstein and i dont know what there on about

Usually I don't care about language of lyrics. I am taking a look on music itself.

I always thought lyrics are obsolete, I don't even know the lyrics of my favorite albums. I listen to alot of non-english music, japanese and french especially, italian, finnish and spanish are very beautiful languages as well.

Yes ,I pay more attention to its melody.

no i don t

Yes - roughly 90% of the music I listen to is of carribean origin. Reggae, dancehall, ragga etc. and depending on the artist/tempo it can be extremely difficult to understand what is actually being said owing to the fact that my patois is distinctly below par... if you can be arsed have a listen to Bounty Killer's 'No Interview'; it's hands-down my favourite song but I could probably only list about 10 words that I'm sure of.

Understand English for listing English songs.

if its good then ofcourse i would

Not realy. I prefer songs that i undestand.

If the melody is fantastic,i will listen to the music in a language that i don't understand.

I would listen to music in a Language I don't understand as long as the music offers beautiful melody!

yep ofcourse most of the music i hear this days are in a language i do not understand "Turkish" :)

I never thought about this ever , but now i will try it.

yeah sometimes

I love Caribbean music as well (I'm from there). What Caribbean artists do you like?
A lot of the music I listen to is foreign language. It's so strange how the mind works. You might not be able to understand the language, but music is universal and can be appreciated in any language.

Yes but not all the time

Good one dear.

I usually listen Korean, Chinese music, and I don't understand what they sing. But I like their rythm. :D

Yes...But not always :)

Depends.

well, russian songs would be on my A list, a little Korean and Japanese i guess (the ones i heard in anime), they were the on tv unidentifiable music that my eardrums could tolerate

yep!

Yes,I listen.

i am italian and usually listen to english music ;) well for me , even if i correctly talk and write english sometimes its hard to understand the words of a song but well you can enjoy the rhythm ;)

I listen to Hip Hop all the time.:unsure:

I was listening to AC/DC when I was like 5, so yeah, why not. As long it sounds good.

every day i must say. and most of the times i enjoy it.

I still love Ef-El from South Africa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q27zS38h_U

I do listen to foreign music which i do not understand like k-pop songs and Indian music but i find it very cool and entertaining .

I usually listen to music in a language I didn't understand.I like french,german and hungarian music.

I'm listening to Spanish music often, so, why not?

i am portugal and usually listen to english music

Yes, if it sounds good. Example, the song dota by bass hunter.
