Name a legendary musical hit in your country. Rule: must be over 30 years old Englisch

This song was HUGE in the US. My one of my absolute favorite songs to play

No way, I love that song!

Sing it again, High-fructose Boy 😁

I have no idea how well known this is outside of Scotland, or at least the UK, but it meets all the other requirements: I'm Gonna Be by the Proclaimers, probably better known as 500 Miles

idiomaddict , vor 23 Tagen

My favorite song is 500 Miles by Peter, Paul & Mary, and everyone thinks I’m talking about the Proclaimers version unless I specify, so I think it’s pretty well known.

iTS a somewhat offen used Wedding and football Song in germany

It was fairly popular here in the US. Landed in some movie soundtracks. Nothing else by them did though.

Skua , vor 22 Tagen

Plenty of their other stuff did pretty damn well here, it's just that I'm Gonna Be did so much better than everything else that it would feel wrong to pick another song. It's the one everyone still sings at sports events

Great idea!

A dutch song about Belgium from the 80s:

Edit: removed tracking from link

May you mind removing the tracking from your link? When sharing YouTube videos through the share button, YouTube automatically adds an unnecessary tracking part to the link, to track everyone that clicks the link. This part can be identified by the si=... This part isn't necessary for the link to work

That is a classic. Personally, for the Netherlands, I was thinking some Doe Maar.

Or possibly Little Green Bag, but I'm guessing that doesn't fit the "relatively unknown outside the Netherlands" criterion, nor is it in Dutch.

Eppu Normaali - Vuonna 85

I would imagine everyone in Finland still knows this one, right?

A song from 1970 (I actually thought it was way older) about a civil war in 1534

Borimino , vor 23 Tagen

Alternatively Midsommervisen, written in 1885, with the popular melody rewritten in 1980: https://youtu.be/q4i-5Df0oVc

Is sung on Sankt Hans Aften every year while roasting a (sculpture of a) witch on a huge bonfire.

Midsommervisen is so nice :)
