Is there a foreign-language song that you can sing from start to finish without looking at the lyrics? Meaning, you know it by heart?

Yup. I can sing a few Rromani songs start to finish despite not knowing what most (or some depending upon the dialect) of it means.

Oh many. When I was younger I had many friends of all races & I would dig into their music collections & borrow their tapes...I still have a bunch I never returned.

Maybe La Bamba

Erh... I know "One-Winged Angel" by heart, and I think that's latin or something. Can't think of anything else though.

My kids love The Wiggles, who sang "Havenu Shalom Alechem", which I learned by watching the video with my kids.

Yes. I speak six languages. Elvis singing half German and half English "Wooden Heart" ... I know this song because, in the movie, "Occupation G.I. Blues" when he sings this song, you can see the house I lived in as a child over Elvis's shoulder. Eric Lapointe, "N'Importe Quoi" ... I know this French song because the girl he went out with is my martial arts student ... she introduced me to him at the bar he co-owns and often plays live, where she dances nude, and he sang this song ... it plays on CHOM radio often because it is a classic French rock song.

Yes, only one... :-)

I know both the English and French translations of "L'Baise d'Enfant" ("The Infant Kiss") by Kate Bush, but that's about it...

I speak German, Italian, Chinese (Not fluent in Chinese) and of course English. So, do they still count as foreign-language? If so, yes. Many.

Several, but not many of them are pop music.
