Thank's Themis for the immpecably sung Peter Alexander track; it brought back happy memories of Vienna.
Here's a French song that just about eveyone knows. I like to play it but nothing like as well as it's played here.

Ellie Goulding's cover of Only Girl by Rihanna. I really can't stand Rihanna (her voice annoys me. I liked her early stuff, but nothing after that), but Ellie's cover makes the song really great to listen to, for me.
Song To Say Goodbye - Placebo
It's been said that this song has been recorded by more people than any other in the history of recorded music but, without a doubt, this is the best version. The singing is superb and Gordon Jenkins magical orchestration of Hoagy Carmichael's bitter sweet lyrics is beyond reproach.

Yes. I'm afraid my aim is to make him world-famous again.
