I dont know the artist or any of the words, despite the fact I heard it everywhere in Northern Germany in August. I want it for my Mp3. Does anyone know of links for popular/euro beat songs that can help me out? I don’t want to have to watch my home video to get the basics of the song before my husband calls his cousins over there to hear, " They don’t know, either." ---

How about [www.amazon.de](http://www.amazon.de) Search for ‘2004’ in pop music and you get several links to albums such as “Bravo-the Hits 2004” and “Best of : 2004”. You can get a free listen to almost all of the songs on each of the albums. ---

**SmackFu** ’s list is good. I suggest trying both versions of _Dragosta Din Tei_ (#1 and #9 on the list). You probably mean this song because it was number one dance song of the year accross the whole Europe. ---

How can the same song be listed twice in the yearly charts? ---

Here are some flash files made using the song, as well as O-zone’s video for the song “Dragosta Din Tei”.

Incidentally, “Dragosta Din Tei” was reproduced in Spanish, Italian, Romanian, and English to name a few languages. Here is a [translation](http://www.catteacorner.com/dragosteadintei.htm) from the Romanian version. ---

Thanks for all the links. I am still looking. Nothing is ringing a bell. Nuts.
