My answers are almost always the best, it’s just the philistines that post in this thread can’t see it. 😉 Damned kids here making 99 Luftballoons, which wasn’t really much of a hit in the USA, until it got redone in English, vs La Bamba, which has to be one of the biggest non-English language songs ever. No sense of history, I tells ya. \*I almost put “[Du Hast](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm2eT-sTVys)” as the non-English song.
