Adore this underrated French Europop gem. I don't even think Kate Ryan has ever bothered to record a tinny cover version.

Let' have some quality 
Well that’s obviously a classic but quite clearly in ENGLISH and we don’t want any of that muck
OUT!

I hope covers of English songs in European languages by BIG STARS are allowed

Cant beat a bit of DEUTSCHE SCHLAGER to cheer me up in the morning.

I remember you sent the link of this to me a while ago. She reinvented herself as that butch lesbian in the Spanish NF a few years ago, didn't she? I forget her name...

OMG I LOVE this!!
I discovered it last year and I played it so much it made my Top Songs of 2019 playlist on Spotify!You can't beat a pretty girl who can barely hold a note singing lyrics that barely make any sense!

Also, this rather unique INTERPRETATION of the classic Tennessee Waltz from schlager legend Ireen Sheer.

Ireen has a KNACK for cover versions. She even schlagerfied a BWO song once:
You would never think she was from Romford, ESSEX!

Rather obscure but this was in some early 90s German National Final for Eurovision I think (and lost to something hopeless) and is quite BRIL:
The dramatic monologue in the intro before the beat kicks in STOMPER mode

Here is some absolute TOOT from Serbia. It was HUGE when I was there for Eurovision in 2008. This kind of music was EVERYWHERE! The STATE of her!

Love Jeanne Mas, this song and "Toute Première Fois" being absolute delights.
For a catchy track though, the lyrics are quite sad though.

I believe that Nylon Beat song got remade somewhere (I think South Korea or Taiwan?) and was a no. 1 hit there.

1991, but it only came 4th, and lost to the WORST German Eurovision song of all time, and that is saying something.

Oh yes, I wasn't sure if I had just forgotten what won that National Final or had just erased it from memory but it of Germany would pick terribly.
It got covered in Esthonia and is known as a classic here. I prefer the Finnish version though.

Of course, how could we forget this MASTERPIECE! Christ, I remember the year this came out I went to Gran Canaria on holiday. I think it was played on average every TWO minutes somewhere in the Yumbo Center.
I miss the days SHITE like this would clog up the charts.
