    As long as the rythm of the vocals is good then i like to think you can get away with it.

    I like a lot of tech house that has spanish lyrics which i dont have a clue what they are saying.
    Yeah I think Alor Danse is cool for a club. Specially DJ from Mars remix. Also a lot of Top40 by Pit Bull, Sean Paul, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez are pretty much a norm and welcomed. I know I have played Spanish versions of both Shakira and Jennifer Lopez in my sets and folks never left the dance floor. Some salsa aficionados are out there cutting a rug.

    Now if were are talking some Persian or Hindu/Bollywood music, that might clear the floor and get you the WTF look.
