Hi,a quick question for all the disco/hi energy/italo lovers.What's your favorite ''foreign language'' song?
Mine would have to be Tenax by Diana Est,closely followed by Sonnambulismo -Canton(an english version of the latter does exist though,i think it's called Sleepwalking)

Two more tunes from me. I'm still hoping that these tracks will be remixed in hi nrg format, but deep in my heart I know that this will NEVER happen.
I just keep on dreaming.

La Vie En Rose-Grace Jones
Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voilà le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
je vois la vie en rose

Another fab one is MATIA BAZAR - STRINGIMI !!

"Marcia Baila" by the French avant-gardists Les Rita Mitsouko remains pretty good, non? The vocalist is Catherine Ringer who made an impression as a performance artist. She also felt compelled to express her sexuality in hardcore porno films during the aerly 80's.

J'ai Pas Peux by 8th Wonder is my fave. & also I like the French version of Moskow Disco by Telex.

For me it's 2 tracks which were (early) European disco pioneers:
-Lucio Battisti - El Velero (12" 1976)
YouTube - Lucio Battisti - El Velero (12") (1976).
-Dalida - J'attendrai (the first ever 12" to be released in France)
YouTube - Dalida - J'attendrai
Cheers.

Hi Disco Imperium,
Thanks for posting those two tracks!
Loved the Lucio Battisti track, I'd never heard that one before.
Although I have to say I do prefer Lama "Love is on the rocks"
Having said that there would be no "Love is on the rocks" without "El velero"
and what a loss that would be!!!

Same ideas as most of you and yes, France Gall - Ella Elle L'a may not be classed as Hi NRG but it was a firm Euro hit and is one of my favorites. But I usually close out, when I play a few late night tunes with Matia Bazar - Ti Sento. So the vote for best foreign language track goes with this one.
Indie Release [Level 4]
I mentioned this one as a favorite before but as it was not as popular as
Ti sento I thought I'd stick it on so that those of you who don't know it can
see what you think!

Eccellente, grazie.
Amo la musica del matia bazar
Just to go by the rules here I better translate.
Excellent, thankyou.
I love Matia Bazars' music.

Since we are in ''Matia Bazar territory'' I tought i should mention ''Elettrochoc'' a wonderful slice of electro-pop and one of their best songs.
Ruggero's vocals are amazing.

Just in case you had any more trouble!
