Below are three very different German language songs from the beginning, middle and end of the decade. I like all of them for different reasons, as you\u2019ll see below. Which one do you like the best?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andreas Gabalier &#8211; I sing a Liad f<span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif\">\u00fc<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif\">r Di (2010)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif\">Literally \u201cI sing a song for you\u201d, this cheesy-sounding song falls under the category of Schlagermusik and is sung in <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif\">Austrian dialect.

This is light, dreamy house music that reminds me of the summer.

Not only are they a brilliant German metal band, but their lyrics are intelligent and show off the German language really well. In 2019 they released a new album, Untitled, and this song from it, \u2018Deutschland\u2019, went on to be number one in the German music charts.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rammstein - Deutschland (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NeQM1c-XCDc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So these are a few songs from this decade that I personally like.<\/p>\n<h2>Now it\u2019s your turn!<\/h2>\n<p>Have you heard a German song you&#8217;ve really liked?
