It’s amazing how singing a song in another language makes it instantly better.
David Bowie, "Heroes (Helden)" in German
A song about lovers kissing by the Berlin Wall. So it's only fitting Bowie did this magnificent version in German
Rolling Stones, "As Tears Go By (Con le mie lacrime)" in Italian
Released as a B-Side to "As Tears Go By" in Italy, this has become something of a cult classic among Stones fans.
Blur, "To the End" in French
There's also a version knocking about featuring Francoise Hardy with added accordion to really crank up the Frenchness.
They Might Be Giants, "Number Three" in Greek
Short, sweet and Greek
