Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The Seekers, with Judith on lead vocals, just knocked it out of the park with this one, and many others. I love her voice.

This is the first time I've heard this.. and I liked it. :thumb:

I listen to this song all the time. One of the top plays on my iPod. Frankly, I think he has far too good of a life to be sniffing around Margie!

Yo Yo Ma. Heard him on NPR this morning, and can't get it out of mind. This posted piece is not the selection I heard, but it is good. Sorry about the advertisement at the beginning, but it is only a few seconds, and the music is almost 10 minutes.

My transistor radio
Comes from far away
And when it's night over here
Over there it's breaking day
I remember all of the good times
I had walking in the sand
With the beautiful girl that I met
Made in Japan

The beauty of her face
Was beyond her wildest dreams
Like cherry blossoms blooming
In the mountain in the early spring
As we walked by the river
And she softly took hold of my hand
That's when I fell deep in love
With the girl made in Japan

In the dark of night
We would lay on Tokyo Bay
And the singing of the birds
Woke us up at the break of day
Her smiling eyes always
seemed to to try to understand
All the love I had
For the girl made in Japan

My transistor radio
Comes from far away
And it's night over here
Over there it's breaking day
She cried when she said
She'd been promised to another man
That's when I left my heart
With the girl made in Japan

Yes, my heart will always be
With the girl made in Japan

Made in Japan is such a neat Buck Owens song. He usually has a very standard sound, and I always liked this one, because he took a risk with it. Good pick!

Thanks to 50's on 5 for getting this stuck in my head!

Here's some sides recorded for the Japanese market by "Natto Shirukuretto," aka Nat Shilkret and the Victor Orchestra of America. :p
