Do you listen to music in languages you don't understand?

I've recently become addicted to Vocaloid music. Vocaloid is a program that originated in Japan and creates music(lyrics and instruments) directly from the program. Turns out there are a lot of videos done by people that use this program. I have listened to a lot of foreign music before I found this, but finding Vocaloid sparked this question from me.

    I like all sorts of music, Japanese, Russian, German, Polish, Spanish, French, Chinese....sometimes English music can sound a little foreign.

    More correctly, Vocaloid was a joint project, not a product to go into retail, in Spain (at the Pompeu Fabra University) which was lead by Kenmochi Hideki (who IS Japanese); Yamaha help fund the project and later did become a product for mass market. The first 2 Vocaloid voices (early 2004) where Leon and Lola, with Miriam arriving early July 2004, all 3 are English speaking British voices. Not far behind, around late July 2004, Meiko made her debut and you already know the rest of the Vocaloid history.

    German and French, mostly. I speak quite a bit of German, but the Bavarian music I sometime listen to is fast and in a strange dialect I don't understand.

    I see no reason to let a language barrier stop me from enjoying an awesome song. While I only listen to songs in about 3 foreign languages--German, Swedish, and Russian--I think that most of them are quite possibly more awesome than songs written in English by foreign bands. One of my favorite bands right now is Falconer, and their newest album, Armod, is great! The first song I heard off of the album, "Svarta änkan" (which means "black widow") is amazing--the English version just doesn't come close!

    I have quite a bit of Latin styled music from a guy called Daniel Indart. He's written music for everything from computer games to tv shows. The show Burn Notice even had one of his songs recently, but most of my music collection is in English.

    German, Swedish, Spanish, Japanese. I think that when you can't understand the words, you can appreciate the voice as its own instrument without having to be distracted by the words.
