I was expecting Robin Sparkles - Let's go to the mall
Not my country, but I think “Mayonaka no Door / Stay With Me” needs to be here.
I just listened to this last night.
Oh, there are so many songs I could choose. Most hits from Brazil aren't well known outside. This one is a certified classic, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOchidcyv9Q
Germany
The title of this song from 1974 became a German saying.
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".
Alles klar auf der Andrea Doria (All clear on the Andrea Doria):
There are so many good ones for Austria. Probably have to go for Fürstenfeld by STS. I have never met somebody in Austria who wasn't able to sing this, even (or especially) when drunk.
'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.
