Recommend me... some really cheesy European music
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 :(

Blue Dabadee dabadaa

gonna find a link to that crap though...
CRAP?!
I thought it was well good, that song.
LOL
will listen out for that.
YES
it does!
um
that greek song - dangea dinstay or something?!?! anyone know what i mean?
YES!
Didn't it say something about a "beep" and had some crazily shite sound effect?
I might have it on my iPod, somewhere.
Dragosta din tei
is what I'm thinking of, i think.
that's the name of the song, it's by Ozon / O-zon (can't remember)
and that song, is such a good song :)
It really is.
It's the guiltiest of pleasures.
also they're urm, croatian i think?
or romanian. i forget.

Anything
by Junior Senior
Hang on
I love Junior Senior
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.
Daft punk is not cheesy
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.
rude lyrics?
I don't think aznavour ever pushed the boundaries of taste to any great extent! ;D
DUTCH ENTRY:
vengaboys!
Vengaboys!
Brilliant! :D
I agree
I love them. But Da Funk is a little bit.
ireland - b*witched
germany - go for 'Tic Tac Toe'
oooh
what's tic tac toe? who's it by?
No Ireland in our Europe I'm afraid.
tic tac toe are the name of the band i think
why no ireland? ridiculous.
because
it's a 'country' meeting of investment bankers. I guess not a lot of business exists in Ireland.
how weird....
I friggin love Wiki sometimes
