I had a bit of a think about this while I was on the Tuan Mun - Tung Chung Ferry yesterday, as First Ferry played Hong Kongs: "We are ready" song/clip on their 42 inch wide screens.
I'd have to say in my opinion, Barcelona's 1992 Olympic song of friendship: " Amigos Para Siempre " has to be one of the best ever, a song that was mostly in English lyrically, but its chorus in Spanish, was a huge global world wide hit, for the very tidy Sarah Brightman and Jose Carreras.
I have nominated my own surrogate song, one I can identify with, the official one is just hmmm, nothing to write home about lol...
Katie Melua's almost Maria Muldaur like vocal delivery of her " 9 Million bicycles in Beijing " song, just really works for me..
Whats your's ?
