German and Latin for me; it’s a mix of the exotic/not knowing about what drivel the lyrics are, plus a fun way to learn some old, virtually useless forms of the languages!

I’ve never heard a latin song, do you have suggestions?

Tons of old ecclesiastical stuff & medieval songs (I’m proper down wit da yoot!). As for recent ones, not sure actually. Wasn’t there a trend in Iceland recently of bars holding Latin speaking nights? I might have a Google and see if anyone did some actual new songs. I’ll get back to you….

Good old Reddit!

Google seems to have the wrong end of the stick, as it suggest a Mr B Bunny as a good fit for contemporary Latin music ;-)

As for actual suggestions, was listening to Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana today (André Previn & London Symphony Chorus gets my vote). Tons of gambling, sex, drinking…and a roasting swan lamenting his fate coz, why not?

You’ll know a few of them, but get a translation off the web and enjoy!
