No, they don't. Pop music lyrics are NOT conversational language communication.
It is common to mix languages in multi-lingual societies. However, I don't think the OP is talking about people that are living in a Japan/English mixed society.
It is also extremely common for a person to constantly use the expressions of the language they're learning while speaking their native tongue.
I don't know that it is "extremely common" but if I were friends with someone who was learning a new language and he or she couldn't help but "constantly" throw in expressions from the language he or she was learning, I would find it extremely obnoxious.

Why would you find it extremely obnoxious?
Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.
