OT - Songs containing...
Permalink  
 

Another music thread I'm afraid! Just for fun and to see how many we get, how many song titles spring to mind that contain a European country, town or city name? Please note, for example: 'French' or 'German' etc is not allowed, but 'France' or 'Germany' is. 'York' is ok, but 'New York' is not etc...

I'll begin:

Bucharest - George Ezra

London - Pet Shop Boys

Belfast - Orbital

Istanbul (not Constantinople) - They Might Be Giants

A reasonable start, but Heman, the key word is 'European'!

Just thought of another one. I recently bought shakira live in Paris dvd and on it there's a track called te dejo Madrid.

incidentally she sings in 4 different languages on that dVd. English Spanish French and an African language (waka waka).

 

one song sets off in spanish and ends in French and is one of the best ballads I ever heard. It's called lo quiero a mourir or je l'aime a mourir whic translates as I love you to death. Google it and watch it on YouTube. Amazing.
