Hehe Google is cheating GT40 - I think you need to read the rules again 

Data, nothing to tell.  I was actually thinking of the far better Walker Brothers version. I am simply a big fan of Scott Walker and I scanned through my YoutTube playlist to get some ideas on what to pick.

I'm glad there is nothing to worry about then Freddy, just for a second I thought you might be feeling depressed.


@GT
l'aide de Google, c'est tricher, mais au moins vous ne l'admettent 


I guess its your go then GT

Les sirènes du port d'Alexandrie
Chantent encore la même mélodie ohoh
La lumière du phare d'Alexandrie
Fait naufrager les papillons de ma jeunesse



The rules, oh yes the rules...
One day, I will take the time to read them. 

Arrg, this is my translation...

The sirens of Port Alexandria,
Repeat the chant 'meme' melody,
The light of 'phare' Alexandria,
something about butterflies??

Now to google, Doh! Them rules they hurt when it's not your first language.

Yes, not easy for non-French people. This singer was a big idol here, but unknown outside.

Just a little help: the name of the city (in the lyrics) is in the title. Good luck! 

Well it looks like no one is going to get this song.

GT can we Google now?

Of course, Data. 

Google translate...

The sirens of the port of Alexandria,
Still singing the same melody,
Light from the Lighthouse of Alexandria,
Wrecked the butterflies of my youth. (this must be a French statement)

Well done Snowy

Somehow I think GT might have been expecting a video of the singer performing the song.

So for GT's eyes only 

Was that Vid from a Holiday Camp ?.

Nice pick GT40, I wonder why he never caught on over here.

Congratulations, Snowcrash. And thanks for the video, Data. Yes Diesel, he was ready to conquer the world when he died in a stupid accident (electrocution) in 1978. Something like a national catastrophe...

He was very intelligent: men didn't like the singer, but at least, they were in love with the dancers.

Thanks GT40. I could never have got it without google's help.

Back to the 80s for this one I think.

                    I've got your picture, of me and you
                    You wrote "I love you", I wrote "me too"

I am being fairly obscure with the lyrics as I expect everyone to get it on the chorus.

A little easy this one for me, dates back to the early 80's, Turning Japanese by The Vapors





Top draw pick Snowcrash.

Thought that one might have lated more than 1/2 an hour.

Oh well. What treats do you have for us Diesel?

Way back to the seventies here.


                                                                  Four and Twenty Black Birds sing along
                                                                  Royal Gifts they all will bring.

Given that this was one Hell of a long time ago, these two lines are from the chorus.

Good hunting.
