When I went to the "Dominion theatre" to see "We will rock you" and one of the performers asks "Do you want the hear the "Bohemian Rhapsody" the entire public veered up as if "God save the queen" was sung. BR has been the number one song on many charts for years.
Others by queen: We are the champions, Radio Gaga, Who wants to live forever, friends will be friends,......
Nazareth: Love hurts.
Meatloaf: " Paradise by the dashboard light" and the duet in "Anything for love".
Guantanamera- Clavelitos (reminds me why I learnt Spanish)
Con te partiró (Bocelli and Sarah Brightman).
Ochi chorne (black eyes-Russian gypsy song).
Fields of gold by I muvrini and Sting
Dans le port d'Amsterdam (J.Brel).
Les lacs de connemara (Michel Sardou)
Daar gaat ze/there she goes (Clouseau) because of its typical sound.
and many others.

They've put the whole lot online - a true danger for any music lover with a lot of other things to do!
