As I have traveled and otherwise collected, I have sought out foreign 
language versions of English language hits.  I've found Hungarian 
versions of Little Richard and Elvis hits, Finnish versions of Rosemary 
Clooney's hits, Russian versions of Glenn Miller hits, Xmas caroles in 
Chinese, trucker songs in German (On the Road Again is turned into Auf 
die Autobahn), etc.  One of the most famous 78s of foreign language hits 
was Tokyo Shoe Shine Boy which I have, and was re-created in the 
soundtrack of the original movie M*A*S*H.
