One of my favorite songs from when I was a but a kid! The only Japanese song to hit #1 on the US Music Charts:

When I was a young man I loved this import, 99 Luftballons

I have to say that my taste in music is all over the place. I really like this piece ---- the THEME from a British movie called THE THIRD MAN. Great movie and a fantastic score. Now if I could only play the zither:
And this became a HIT in 1949. Of course it was the movie on TV (The Early Show) that turned me on to this oddity...

I also really enjoyed this one and rediscover it every so often --- 1962 Moscow Nights:
Here is the original Soviet version 1957:
Lyrics:
Moscow Nights
Подмосковные вечера

(Music: V. Soloviev-Gray-1957)
(Музыка: В. Соловьев-Седой-1957)
Not even rustles are heard in the garden,
Не слышны в саду даже шорохи,

Everything here froze until morning;
Все здесь замерло до утра;

If you knew how dear to me
Если б знали вы, как мне дороги

Moscow Nights.
Подмосковные вечера.
The river moves and does not move,
Речка движется и не движется,

All of moon silver
Вся из лунного серебра,

The song is heard and not heard
Песня слышится и не слышится

On these quiet evenings
В эти тихие вечера.
Well you dear look askance,
Что-ж ты милая смотришь искоса,

Bowing your head low,
Низко голову наклоня,

Difficult to express and not express
Трудно высказать и не высказать

All that is in my heart.
Все, что на сердце у меня.
And the dawn is already more noticeable
А рассвет уже все заметнее,

So please be kind
Так пожалуйста будь добра

Don't forget these summer ones too
Не забудь и ты эти летние

Moscow Nights.
Подмосковные вечера.
