Charlotte Nillson won first prize for Sweden in 1999 with this song in the Eurovision de la Chanson song contest held in Stockholm.

Eng Tennessee Waltz Patti Page 1951? Eng Tennessee Waltz Pee Wee King 1950? Eng Par Tennessee Waltz Spike Jones and his City Slickers 1950? Ger Tennessee Waltz Ireen Sheer

Notes: Pee Wee King wrote and recorded the "country" version of the song. The 78 RPM copy of Patti Page's version was labeled "Patti Page and Patti Page".   It was one of the first pop hit songs made by using multi-track recording. Some Americans will be a little surprised to learn that Ireen Sheer's pop version of this song is not only in German, but it sounds like disco!

Eng The City of New Orleans Arlo Guthrie 1972 Eng The City of New Orleans Hank Snow   Ger Wann wird's mal wieder richtig Sommer? Rudi Carell

This is one of those songs that I heard first in German around 1975 and years later in English.

Eng This Old House Rosemary Clooney 1954 Eng This Old House Red Foley & Ernest Tubb   Eng This Old House Stuart Hamblen   Ger Das Alte Haus von Rocky-Docky Bruce Low 1955 Ger Das Alte Haus von Rocky-Docky Peter Alexander

Comments:   Saying that this song did well is an understatement. The English version of this song hit it big on the pop and country charts. Usually a foreign language version of a song will only be done by one artist, but this one was covered in German by country (Bruce Low) and pop (Peter Alexander) singers.

Eng Org Tonight is so Right Elvis Presley   Ger Adieu-Leb Wohl-GoodBye Gerd Boettcher

You Elvis Presley fans will recognize this song, because it's the first song on side 1 of the sound-track LP of the movie "G.I. Blues".   If you have heard both versions of this tune, you will notice that the accordions in the English-language version were replaced with mandolins in the German cover version.
