Nino de Angelo - Jenseits von Eden

Nino de Angelo - La valle del eden, Masquerade - Guardian Angel, areessentially the same song in german, italian and english. It was a monster hit in France, Germany and Austria (No 1 and No 2 of the year), and a minor hit in UK,Italy,Switzerland,Netherlands, Sweden, New Zealand and Australia. You heard one version or the other all over Europe in 1984. I think that defies your notion of a distinct song of a region. As you said in former times the song was important (not who sang it). For some songs you have different language verisons of the same artist (The Beatles sang "Komm' gib mir Deine Hand", which is "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in German) Not pooling such successes lets you miss out of almost global monster hits.

As we said in the Beatles case a song in a different language is a different song. There is no other way we could reasonably work.
