Milan Kundera

I always liked that melancholic undertone of this dance track, very nice. I also bought the CD single at the time. By the way, the song only reached No. 26 in the German charts.

Ryuichi Sakamoto is a hit for me, so Frank Field steps in and Jimmy Carter is my new sub No.3. Well, I'll give it a try with him

Thank you for having his real date of death on the front page, not the date his death was published (today).

While it would be very sad if it were true, it would still be a welcome hit.

I have to confess that 2 become 1 would have been my favorite Spice Girl song this round to vote up, but I need my points to push other songs... Still I like 2 become 1 a lot!

Begin the Beguine (Volver a empezar) in 1981 comes to my mind. And The Ketchup Song (Asereje) in 2002.
