Recommend me... some really cheesy European music

MirriLondon [Edit] [Delete] 56 replies 11:18, 18 October '06

I have to find one tune for each country, it must be 'upbeat and cheesy - get the kind of music that they'd be embarrassed was made by their own countries'. They've previously used Abba, The Ketchup Song, 99 Red Balloons, the Greek plate smashing song - stuff like that. I'm going to look at Eurovision sites when IT sort out my access rights, but I can't use just Eurovision entirely.

Pah.

France
Turkey
Spain
Germany
Switzerland
Sweden
Portugal
Italy
+ 'Middle East' - but you already gave me suggestions there

Also - any recommendations of where I can go to 1) listen to and 2) actually download this dodgy stuff is very much appreciated.

Good stuff like Royksopp and Sigur Ros just isn't going to be allowed :(

        YES!
        
        Didn't it say something about a "beep" and had some crazily shite sound effect?
        
        I might have it on my iPod, somewhere.

        that's the name of the song, it's by Ozon / O-zon (can't remember)
        
        and that song, is such a good song :)

        Library Music!!
        
        from the 60s and 70s would be ideal.

        The story so far
        
        Spain - enrique iglesias
        Sweden - ace of bass or roxette
        Italy - eiffel 65 (blue, da ba dee...)
        France - daft punk - probably da funk or one more time
        
        Still working on the others, plus a late new entry - the Netherlands.
        
        MirriLondon @Monkeynuts | 18 Oct '06, 14:09 | X
        
        Daft punk is not cheesy
        
        cunt @MirriLondon | 18 Oct '06, 14:10 | X
        
        they don't even sing in french!
        
        Aznavour would be classic french. Or Piaf. Something with accordion.

        The trouble with
        
        entries in their own language is - I can't vet for crudeness/swearwords.
        
        For a bunch of senior execs, I can't risk rude lyrics. Too many of them are bilingual too.
        
        MirriLondon @BobbyGrindrod | 18 Oct '06, 14:17 | X
        
        rude lyrics?
        
        I don't think aznavour ever pushed the boundaries of taste to any great extent! ;D

        oooh
        
        what's tic tac toe? who's it by?
        
        No Ireland in our Europe I'm afraid.
        
        MirriLondon @sarkyfox | 18 Oct '06, 14:15 | X
        
        tic tac toe are the name of the band i think
        
        why no ireland? ridiculous.
        
        sarkyfox @MirriLondon | 18 Oct '06, 14:19 | X
        
        because
        
        it's a 'country' meeting of investment bankers. I guess not a lot of business exists in Ireland.
