Artists that use more than 1 language

Lacuna Coil... Most of their songs are in English, a few of them are sung in their native Italian, and I believe at least one song alternates languages in the verses

Cate Le Bon, she sings in Welsh and English

Actually, I use a few different language with my songs. I've sang in English, Japanese, and Chinese. I think it's an interesting concept, and it also would open up your music to a broader demographic.

There's one European band (possibly from France?) who sing in their own language. A handful of Scandinavian bands sing in both English and their native language. DJ Otzi (known for his notorious Euro hit Hey Baby) sings in both English and German.

Quote:

Suena mi alarma temprano en la mañana
Y la frisa me tiene agarrao' por una pata
Me hago mi café y el azúcar ya se acabo
Me lo mando así y a huir check out the clock

Got stuck up in traffic and I was already late
I'm thinking 'bout the excuse I'm gonna use today
Looking for the one that's gonna sound better
Mira jefe es que mi carro, si si, whatever

Las doce la hora del break, me comeria un steak
Pero no way, no hay break the job deadline's today
So I'm finally done it's time to go home but I still have to collect
And then the lady said

Just mail me the bill like you guys always do
I talked to your boss he said it's all good
So I got back to the shop without a check
How come you didn't collect
El jefe said your fired ah si, whatever

Llego a casa esmallao' y no han hecho comida
No quiero tener que ir al mcdonalds de la esquina
Oye mami que paso hoy te toca cocinar
I'm sorry baby, es que me fui a recortar

Asi se van los dias en la cultura del whatever
De nada hay garantía, todo es algarete
The day I died the angel told me in heaven
We're sorry man but we can't find your file
Whatever

My favorite song by her is Tell Me on a Sunday.

Placebo's Brian Molko occasionally sings in French. I like his French 'Protage moi' even more than English version.
