Well if you consider Africa a country, I can throw in The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

To be honest, I had to use google to find out who did In Zaire and One Night In Bangkok. [Edited 7/17/14 13:35pm] | |

. Y'all are not gonna know this song... or understand it for that matter... It's an old Dutch 80s pop song called 'België' ('Belgium'), which is basically about the lead singer not knowing what country he'd like to move to, weighing the pros and the cons (well, mostly cons), before he considers moving to Belgium, which he feels is the most comfortable place to live. I know it sounds silly, but I think it's a nice song. . . I don't want your rhythm without your rhyme | |

^ I love that one, but didn't want to include too many non-English songs. Hey, what about Big City by Tol Hanse?! | |

. Yay, another Dutchie on the ORG! . I never really cared for 'Big City', but Amsterdam will always be my 'stekkie', so the song gets points for being about the prettiest city in the country. . [Edited 7/17/14 14:19pm] I don't want your rhythm without your rhyme | |
