Alexa, sing a song! A Musical World Trip with 288 Alexa Songs

There is this little-known, wonderful Alexa feature: she can sing. You might have enjoyed some of her songs already, as we are continuously updating Alexa’s English US song list. But, Alexa does not only learn new songs; she can sing them in many languages and dialects! In this post, we will use this feature for a musical journey around the world. You’ll be amazed how our singing Alexa sounds across the globe! Every song here is a unique little masterpiece.

Please note, though many songs have the same title across the globe, they are completely unique recordings performed by the local Alexa.

One more note, you’ve found a living post. We published this post initially in March 2020 and have updated it twice since then. A BIG THANK YOU goes to all of you who take the time and share the Alexa songs you’ve found, questions, and answers in our smart discussion section below! We are continuously updating this post based on your feedback.

Thank you (in alphabetical order): Clare, Dylan, Katie, Kay, and Kim!

Captain’s Announcement

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking! Welcome to smartenlight flight number 288, non-stop from your couch to Germany, United Kingdom, India, Australia, Canada, Spain, Mexico, United States, Canada, France, Italy, Brazil, and back to your couch.”

“We’re flying a little zigzag pattern today as we’re sticking to Alexa’s language settings, but no worries, we have enough fuel onboard for many musical weekend trips. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Thank you for choosing smartenlight airlines. Please sit back, relax and enjoy your flight.”

“Oh, I forgot … and please read our music instructions card for best experience!”

Estimated reading time: 22 minutes

Music Instructions Card

We will change the language settings of your Amazon Echo (or the Alexa app) on this flight. You can do that easily by:

1. Opening your Alexa app
2. Tap the ‘More’ button and select “Settings.”
3. Tap on “Device Settings”
4. On the devices list, please scroll down to your Amazon Echo and tap on it
5. Tap on Language and select the language of your destination

There are chances that you don’t speak the language of some of our destinations. Though we strongly encourage you to learn at least “Alexa, sing a song” in German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, because it’s super fun, our cabin crew has prepared links to Google translate. You just need to tap on the link and then on the speaker button to let Google tell Alexa to sing a song.

Alexa will sing a random song and sometimes repeat a song many times, which is super boring. Our cabin crew has therefore prepared a song menu with all the songs we could find! You just need to say “Alexa, sing …” (in the right language) and then the song title from the menu, and Alexa will sing what you’d like to hear.

Songs in bold italic are between 20 and 30 seconds long, so they are smartenlight approved international hand-washing songs! You can find more information here: Alexa, Wash my Hands! The fun way of Hand-washing =)

For Alexa songs with a link, we’ve created a lovely remix and cartoon video. Just tap on them to play them on our flight entertainment system.

For our frequent flyers: green songs are the new songs we – you, dear frequent traveler, and the flight crew – found on our last roundtrip. You can subscribe to this post to become a frequent flyer and receive updates via e-mail when we find new songs.

For those who already have some favorite Alexa songs in US English: if we found an international version of your song with a different title, we added the US English title next to the song. This way, you can search for your favorite song and check out versions in other languages and dialects.

If you find a song not on our menu, you are entitled to post a comment below with the song title and language, and country. We will then update this post with the song and your nickname, and you will stay forever in our International Alexa Song Hall of Fame (this post). If you’re lucky enough to find a hand-washing song, we’ll make your song and nickname, right, bold italic.

Thank you for choosing smartenlight airlines. Enjoy your flight!

Pro-Tip: You can listen to the international songs also with your Alexa app: Tap More / Settings / “Alexa app settings” and change the language.
