Then there's this gem, which wasn't released in the US, but was performed by a band that is/was huge in the US, and deserves special mention in my humble opinion:
Rolling Stones(italian version)As tears go by... - YouTube

I thought I read "...that are entirely not in English." And the example OP started with was a song entirely in French.
Hmmm. Now that I think of it, it could be ambiguous. Songs that are entirely not in English to me means the whole song is not in English. But if it's interpreted as "songs that are not entirely in English," then Ma Belle Amie and songs like OBB's In Your Eyes are valid. But for what it's worth, the question was phrased "entirely not in English." Perhaps OP will clarify.
