Michelle by the Beatles

I thought of specifically exempting that one.

It is one of the Fab Four's most nauseating songs, but annoyingly has a tremendous bass part.

he's from burslem, stoke on trent

 

[RubyBlue]

he's from burslem, stoke on trent

Oh yeah - Stoke - apols to anyone from Wolverhampton

 

[Lea]

Oh, I heard a very bad version by Sting of Ne Me Quitte Pas. His French accent was terrible. He shouldnt sing in French. But his Spanish version of Fragile isnt too bad.

 

[danny la rouge]

he's from burslem, stoke on trent

He is from Burslem, but he says he's straight.

Girl From Ipanema

 

[butchersapron]

I was more than usual pissed
Was first ashamed at bruise on wrist
Was then annoyed at skin-patch on back
Then myself, I did acquit
On Bremen Nacht
Ich leave real quick das Bremen Nacht
Ich rausum mach aus bremen nacht
Ich rausum mach das bremen nacht
Ic-raus-Mach-Schnell aus das bremen nicht
Ich-aus Schnell mach sas bremen nacht
Ich Mach Schnell pack und aus das bremen nacht
Ich raus schnell mach von bremen nacht.

That might not be real german though, there are also doubts about the Spanish on Spanish Bombs.

I like it! I think it's funny I like it when he says.

I love you! I love you! I LOVE you!

That's all I have to say.
