Cool. Thank you.
I was curious if there was a trope about something like this (also as a way of finding music to listen to) - Basically, media using a "foreign" (i.e. non-original (typically English) language) version of a pop song.
For example, Orphan Black uses the singer Eileen's German-language version of "These boots are made for walkin'" for a scene where the protagonist disguises herself as a German socialite.
Or like Minions: The Rise of Gru takes inspiration from Kung Fu Movies and spy capers and uses a sort of "James Bond-y" Chinese-language cover of the Cher song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)"
