Five awesome foreign language versions of songs



5. Be prepared, German

So...I'm part German, but I'm more Polish-Jew, and boy this sounds evil. The Nazi imagery seems much more clear cut...

4. Defying Gravity, Japanese

It's no secret that Wicked is my favorite musical. And this version is just beautiful.

3. Kiss the Girl, Spanish


The translation is hilarious at the start, but the song sounds great as well.

2. Dentist, French


I have no idea, it just cracks me up.

1. I'll Make a Man Out of You, Chinese (sung by Jackie Chan!)

In case you didn't know, Jackie Chan is an opera-trained singer, who lent his voice to the Chinese dub of Mulan. This video will attest to his sheer singing prowess.
