Oh, and as to lyrics, to be honest, I hardly ever think about lyrics until something jumps out at me, and that's likely to be something exceptional, so, I suppose, I'm somewhat inured to lousy lyrics.

And I can only think of a very few times when I've heard non-English lyrics in popular American music. ``99 Luftballons'', of which there was an English translation, ``99 Red Balloons'', oddly. There is a German version of ``Games Without Frontiers'' that I used to hear on the radio occasionally. That's all I can think of at the moment, other than a spattering of non-English lyrics in otherwise English songs (``Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto'', et al.)
