Since the theme may be foreign language (mostly non-English) tunes, here is an entry from a South Korean band with a Hall & Oates flavor:

I was training with the german artillery in Germany when this song came out.  I loved it!  They translated it for me.  My german girlfriend took me to an Open Air Concert and saw Nena with Supertramp.  At night the lights lit up the castle right above us.  Good memories.

Haruo Chikada & Vibratones - Soul Life (1981)

A serious 80's J-Pop attempt to capture both the sound of The Police and Sting's vocals, which somehow works without coming across as a parody.

luv - Fuwa Fuwa (Live Amazon Music Studio 2024)

Japanese band that describes themselves as "Neodisco" although this has some jazz pop touches to it. They definitely got the Nile Rodgers 70's guitar driven dance vibe down.

Ray Barretto - El Watusi  

#17 US Hot 100. #17 R&B charts.

Probably best remembered today for being featured in the pool hall shootout scene in Brian Depalma's Carlito's Way.

luv - Jamlady (Live Amazon Music Studio 2024)

This rendition gives it a Jazz Funk Nile Rodgers feel. Smoother and lighter than prior official studio version release.

가호 Gaho - 시작 Start Over (Band Version [이태원클라쓰 OST 2020)

This kid from South Korea has such a sweet voice. Improvises from the studio version at the 2:38, 2:45, & 2:52 marks.
