Happy birthday this 18th December to ...

orchideous1!

Albeit a little late in the day. :)

Lyrics: The last one was actually Level 42's The Chinese Way, which according to www.everyhit.com reached the dizzy heights of #24 in the UK charts in 1983. Although it did ring a very faint bell when I saw the words! (ETA: I keep a list of the ones I've already used so I don't repeat myself accidentally, and I see when checking it that this was actually the 42nd track I've used. I swear that was a total coincidence.)

So for a world music fan ... hmm, tricky. I'm going to cheat by giving English lyrics from a Latin singer, this being my favourite track of hers (the Spanish version is called Te Aviso, Te Anuncio if that helps :D):

It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused is unfixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead (2000s)
