I've had Lady Marmalade stuck in my head for days now . I imagine the only French sentence a lot of Americans can say is "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? "

It's not a foreign language but it's not the girl next door, either.
"Ridin' the Train" by Wisztrock:
Actually it's not "Ridin' the Train". Is "Rodin' the Astroplane" by Wisztrock"

Hocus Pocus by Focus:
Lol at Hocus Pocus! Winner right there! However I submit this version as the quintessential version. The video is classic, Gladys Knight introduces them. Lead singer looks like he's about to blow a gasket when he hits those high notes! Funny as hell, he makes the vid!!
Pretty sure this is a foreign language (prove that it's not!):

If we're going by foreign language songs, Du Hast is almost genre-defining:

Um, no. It's Castilian Spanish that Joe Strummer sings those lyrics in, not Catalan. Catalan doesn't have a lisp, and although there are some similarities, it's a separate language from Spanish.
Plastic Bertrand - "Ca Plane Pour Moi"
From Wikipedia:
""Ça plane pour moi" has sold over 900,000 copies around the world[22] and is regarded as a "punk-new wave-pop classic"."
"Although its lyrics are sung in French, "Ça plane pour moi" became a smash hit in several European countries, peaking at No. 19 in Austria, No. 12 in Sweden, No. 11 in Bertrand's native Belgium, No. 8 in the UK, No. 6 in Germany, No. 4 in Ireland, and No. 2 in Netherlands (behind Boney M.'s "Rivers of Babylon").[14] It also topped the Swiss Charts for one week[15] and the French charts for 2 consecutive weeks.[16] In Oceania, the song peaked at No. 7 in New Zealand,[17] and No. 2 in Australia in early January 1979"
""Ça plane pour moi" has also been described as parody punk[6] and as new wave.[2] The song's name is a French idiomatic expression which is best translated as "everything's going well for me" (literally: "it is gliding for me")."
