Topic: Dose Schneaky Churmans!!!!!

Dey are schtealing our musik!!!!!

Listen to this old song and see if you can tell me what the title was of the American hit. You won't need to translate anything, just the music and the singing will give it away. Can you think of any other countries that do this and would you post some of your own examples? smile  If no one gets it, I'll post the original in a couple of days. It's not a contest so there's nothing but bragging rights to be had. smile

Have fun and remember -- don't worry about the words, just the music and  you should be able to get it. I think Mr. Badeye might get this one pretty quick! smile

Ah. I see the problem: Our English friends can't get certain YouTube clips sometimes. I apologize keepitreal. Maybe that will change one day soon. "A World-Wide Nation, Under Music." smile

Re: Dose Schneaky Churmans!!!!!

I got it!  Something about numbers?  My German is not that good but I remember the tune (AND it's stuck in my head, you cruel  cruel perzon).
But I have my guitar right here, and a Whole Index of musik which is not that, so maybeeee..... after a few different tunes, I might actually be able to get some sleep tonight.

Thanks Bill !!   wink

An old bluegrass gospel song written and played by the Stanley Brothers.  We sang it in church when I was a kid.  The "Over in the Gloryland" lyrics are easy to understand even when sung in German.

The first one was written by country legend Harlan Howard.  I remember the Ray Price version the best, although "Heartaches by the Numbers" has been recorded by a lot of folks. The version sung by Guy Mitchell that Roger mentioned made it to #1 on the country charts back in the late 50's/early 60's.
