Its considered pop/world music but I find it enjoyable

[HandyDandy]

Oh! Favorites, well in that case….

Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire, okay
Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-yeah
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads

[fatima]

Gotta run ,thanks for the help with the troop Thread everyone.

[HandyDandy]

Goodnight and thank you, fatima! Bon soir!

[Michael.SF.]

From one of my favorite Van Morrison albums:

Ta Mo Chleamhnas Deanta by Van Morrison & the Chieftains

[Fiji Hill]

Let's get up and dance the Twist!

Tình Lính (Soldier's Love)--Phương Tâm (1966)

[Rockingham]

It is. An English version of La Mer became Bobby Darin’s hit “Beyond the Sea.” And the closing montage of “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” was set to a live cover of the French version of “La Mer” sung by by Julio Iglesias.

[HandyDandy]

O mio babbino caro - Puccini (as sung by Kiri Te Kanawa)

[Michael.SF.]

Thank you for confirming that. I knew he wrote it, but that does not always mean he was the first. It most often does, of course.

[BudgieRamone]

I love your “song theme” posts. always get good listening from them. I try to post relevant stuff I am partial to, so others can enjoy too.

Seemann, deine Heimat ist das Meer (sailor, your home is the ocean)--Lolita Ditta (1960)
Interestingly, the singer is from Austria, which has no seacoast.

Here's the English version:
Sailor--Petula Clark (1961)

[SkyDancer]

~ Evening All! ~ Song: From Souvenir To Souvenir

~

~ Welcome To My World ~

I’m Down There Somewhere

[Fiji Hill]

Another cover of the Charles Trenet hit:

De Zee (the sea)--Bob Scholte (1948)

[Michael.SF.]

This song cracks me up: Prisencolinensinainciusol -- Adriano Celentano

Song is gibberish, but the writer is trying to convey what a song in English sounds like to a non-English speaking person.

It is catchy.

[Michael.SF.]

That is cool. That is in German I believe?

[sauropod]

Alles klar Der Kommisar.

[Fiji Hill]

A tale of the birth on a starry night, wedding at 19, and death on another starry night, of a man who lived in a community at the bottom of a valley, far from populated areas and highways.

Les Trois Cloches (the three bells)--Les Compagnons de la Chanson (the singing companions) with Edith Piaf (1946)

[HandyDandy]

Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano

[Fiji Hill]

Tu Vuò Fa' L'Americano (you're acting like an American)--Renato Carasone (1958)

You're acting like an Americcan. You're drinking whiskey and soda, dancing to rock and roll, playing baseball, and smoking Camels--but you were born in Italy!
