    Probably several songs from the Katamari series. Hard to pick just one.

    Krigsgaldr by Heilung. It’s in proto-Germanic if I am not mistaken.

    (edit: spelling - my proto-Germanic is a bit rusty)

      Interesting, apparently the lyrics come from a runic inscription on an ancient grave stone found in Norway.

      Shit, I didn’t even think about made up languages in songs. This has to be my favorite.

        Well that song is gorgeous.

        Neither one of the songs I posted is a made up language technically. The first one was made by an Italian guy, and if you listen closely, they are singing in “English.” At least those are English words. He made the song to simulate for English speakers what it is like to hear a song in English for Non-English speakers.

        The second song is in Mongolian.

          I knew the Hu was Mongolian.

          The other song is complete gibberish though. As you said he is Italian singing what english sounds like to Italians. Not really english but has the cadence of english. There might be some common english words strewn in. I do the same thing to anime theme songs that are catchy. I only know about 150, 200 Japanese words max. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to sing along with Death Note opening credits, poorly.

          Both are great songs.

            Yeah, it is complete gibberish. He used English words, but put them into nonsense sequences. That’s why if you listen to the song carefully, you can almost understand it.

            Your song is full of hooks. Not quite as many as Baby Shark, but easily as many as Rockin Robin

    Lot of Seegar, oops. Guatanamara is beautiful, and Cielito Lindo. Makes me ashamed of being a filthy one-language-knower.
