Apparently not in english OR any other actual language, just jibberish with suspected links to satanism

Bangin' folk rock from the British Isles (not in English); the video shows the lyrics so you can sing along...

I prefer this one from Falco. Took me a while to understand what he was really singing in Austrian German.

 

This has sent me down a Falco YouTube wormhole. Love everything about this. I work for a Swiss company and every day talk with Germans and Swiss Germans and will be ending every conversation, meeting and training session with "Alles Klar, Herr Kommissar?" 

I sent this to a mate who moved to Vienna a year or so back with his German wife. She's lived in Austria for years but she really struggled to understand this!

Some early Laibach brought up to date.
Live it's amazing, but then Laibach are.

In this case, this cover, which is way better than the original :

Wot, not this classic from Serge and Jane

and for those of a less horny but a  more religious bent...

These chaps sing in a variety of languages, and everthang is epic... Here's the bass solo and more excitement!

We are so, so close to perfection here. I wonder if anyone has ever even tried to sell Vander 'splash' cymbals..?   The tangible pressure emanating from them when seen (felt..?) 'live' is impressive, and exhilarating. Not to be missed if passing your way; there won't be that many more opportunities, now.

Indeed @Dad3353. For those who have never seen (heard is better) them live, hurry up. It's immersive, impressive and so powerful.

That said @Leonard Smalls, they sing mostly in Kobaïen, a language developed by Christian Vander, but use sometimes French (translated from Kobaïen) and often Hebrew for the backing vocals.

With King Crimson, certainly my two favourite bands ever.

Hopefully, you don't understand the lyrics... 🤦‍♂️

Yes I do, but like a lot of songs I don't listen to the words unless they mean something to me, there's plenty in English in a similar category. I like the feel of the music.

Indeed @Graulges, that's why I have a tendency to prefer non sung tunes, because of the too often dumber than dumb lyrics.

I used to like this band when they first emerged. They are Brazilian and sang (or rapped?)  in the national language. Bonde do Rolê:
