@theguiri1975 @foreigncovers @steve_kiw More Dutch rapcovers: Joe Bataan's Rap-o-clap-o redone : youtu.be/gIQSbMqm5lU?si…
One for @foreigncovers (and possibly @steve_kiw too) the definitive Dutch version of Indeep youtu.be/NKbtpbrkkds?si…
Here's a Hungarian-sung re-tread of Kylie and Jason's "Especially For You", accompanied by one of those dated slide videos loved by eastern European grandmothers. youtu.be/maADep3F1Mk?si…
A German-sung version of Flash and the Pan's 1984 hit "Midnight Man", where the man becomes a woman? youtu.be/NAi2M4D3GI4?si…
A Cambodian cover of Carole King @foreigncovers youtu.be/ljUIlGGMzE4?si…
I suspect this Norwegian-sung cover of the old Manfred Mann hit "Doo Wah Diddy" has some kind of football connection! youtu.be/kX3eJKtThGk?si…
I am presuming this very Middle Eastern take on Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" is sung in Arabic. youtu.be/rrdWRSpmYQE?si…
If you ever wondered what Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" would sound like sung by a Hungarian woman in her mother tongue, this could be your lucky day. Apologies for the singer's abuse of the echo effect. youtu.be/8fnVDt7uSK0?si…
Going for the most obvious cover around: a Soviet take on The Beatles' "Yesterday", sung obviously in Russian. youtu.be/rfetA0lkDMI?si…
Probably too obscure for most Brits or Americans, but "Lover Why" by French band Century was an 80s eurohit and also in Brazil when it was used in a soap opera, which explains this Portuguese cover. Trance lovers may know the John Wesley 1996 remix! youtu.be/wUNFtt-VAIU?si…
Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood's "Some Velvet Morning" has been covered by everyone from Primal Scream to Yo La Tengo to Slowdive. But have you ever heard it sung in HEBREW? youtu.be/NV1MFTwIxt4?si…
Followers of a certain vintage may actually be horrified by this chirpy Chinese language cover of "Little" Jimmy Osmond's 1972 chart topper "Long Haired Lover From Liverpool". youtu.be/zbK-4pq8__k?si…
Courtesy of @divingforperils, a Gaelic-sung interpretation of Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen". youtu.be/EDKR-z2dYlk?si…
And now, for your seasonal delectation, a Dutch-sung version of Paul McCartney's divisive festive hit "Wonderful Christmastime". youtu.be/WEeUGHwLNdc?si…
Merry Christmas, one and all. My Christmas gift to you: a Korean version of "Jingle Bells" from 1971. youtu.be/R1jUcxTJqk0?si…
This is what Cliff Richard's excreable "Mistletoe and Wine" sounds like in Icelandic. youtu.be/3pLcmIDiG-A?si…

Please stop putting headphones on kids and switch on a tablet when you go into a restaurant/cafe etc No wonder kids are struggling in social situations nowadays if we actively avoid engaging with them. 😭 Like I’m seeing kids walking looking at a tablet.
This reminded me that in Britain we also have Schroedinger’s government - in power for 14 years yet miraculously it’s always someone else responsible for the mess the country is in.
Here is your reminder that the German title for the movie "Airplane" is "The Unbelievable Trip in a Crazy Airplane."
@mollyclare @kaeti No one understands comedy better than the Germans.
I have asked my lawyers to take the first steps in commencing legal proceedings against Nigel Farage, following a highly defamatory statement about me. We are a movement for peace — and we cannot stand by and let these disgusting and malicious lies go unchallenged.
@jeremycorbyn With you all the way. Don’t let @Nigel_Farage off the hook. Plenty ready to chip in & crowdfund. Say you want a significant donation to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign group, perhaps…

Frank Skinner once described Tom Jones dancing as like a bear trying to get out of a tuxedo.
