Il Rovescio Della Medaglia - Contaminazione. Italian lyrics, based on the life of Bach and is a rock album that incorporates his “Well Tempered Clavier” pieces as well.

I've got a pet peeve of spotting French ads using English language songs that they would never think of using if most people listened to and/or understood the lyrics.

Some examples :

A car manufacturer using the same song for decades, Johnny and Mary. Hard to tell who the song is really about, but it's clearly about a broken, quite unhappy and mentally unstable couple.

A big mart chain using Prayer in C in its happy, "let's be optimistic" clips.

And see the children are starving / And their houses were destroyed / Don't think they could forgive you

Hey, when seas will cover lands / And when men will be no more / Don't think you can forgive you

A perfume ad with Sia's Chandelier blaring out. Yeah, suicide by booze, definitely what I want to feel classy.

I never got on the K-Pop train, but I do genuinely like a few vibey tracks by Neon Bunny, K-Soul artist.

But I love when native languages are mixed with English, especially in metal, as in the case of this tremendous anthem to the joys of food
