I was expecting Robin Sparkles - Let's go to the mall
Not my country, but I think โMayonaka no Door / Stay With Meโ needs to be here.
I just listened to this last night.
There are so many good ones for Austria. Probably have to go for Fรผrstenfeld by STS. I have never met somebody in Austria who wasn't able to sing this, even (or especially) when drunk.

Udo Lindenberg, originally a jazz drummer, was the first German to make authentic German rock and pop music, in the German language, without it being "Schlager".

'Fog on the Tyne' by Gazza and Lindesfarne from 1990. I have to warn you that it's awful, and yet, infuriatingly catchy.
For those who don't know, Gazza was a famous and talented English footballer with a massive booze addiction, and a tendency towards domestic abuse.
Rent
