Would you ever listen a song in a language that you didn't understand a single word?
I myself actually do, a like a few french and spanish songs and I don't know if Sigur Ros count...anw in this poll they do!

I do because I listen to Japanese artist like Gackt and Miyavi. I am starting to learn their language though so I know what they are singing about.

I already listen to some, mostly Spanish and Japanese I think. Oh, and some Italian.

I listen to Korean, Japanese, Ukrainian, Icelandic, and Italian music (I understand about half the Italian though)

Most of the music with foreign lyrics that I listen to is indecipherable to anyone regardless of mother tongue. I have no problem with foreign lyrics... Bjork instantly comes to mind. Then of course, there's Magma who invented their own language.
