Sister Golden Hair (by America)
Lemon Tree (1996) by Tarcy Su (Taiwan)
A fun song. This is a Mandarin cover of the song by the German Band "Fool's Garden".
一個人孤單單的下午 當風吹得每棵樹都想跳舞
記得昨天你穿藍色衣服 你說對愛太專注容易孤獨
這句話什麼意思 我不清楚
我愛上了雲愛上你 多麼希望像你自由來去
原來星期天容易思念 反覆看部電影一遍一遍
孤單的流著眼淚 回憶太美
愛多美麗充滿香氣 只是在心裡它總是酸溜溜地
我不懂我自己 越來越像 Lemon Tree
我一天一天更愛你 我不管不管不管愛會苦苦地
海藍藍的天氣 我的愛是 Lemon Tree(哦...不管不管)
Isolation 想住進你心裡
Isolation 期待下雨 的一棵 Lemon Tree
你總是望著藍藍海面 說著流浪過的夢容易實現
這句話什麼意思 我不清楚

Fool's Garden - Lemon Tree 1995 (Official Video)
This is the original sung in English.
"Lemon Tree" is a song by German band Fool's Garden from the album Dish of the Day, which was released as a single in 1995 and became a major international hit in 1996. The single reached number 26 in the UK charts and remained at number one for several weeks in Germany. It also reached number one in Ireland. Peter Freudenthaler said that he wrote the song on a Sunday afternoon when he was waiting for his girlfriend.I'm sitting here in a boring room, it's just another rainy
Sunday afternoon. I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do.
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you,
But nothing ever happens - and I wonder.
I'm driving around in my car, I'm driving too fast, I'm
Driving too far. I'd like to change my point of view.
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you,
But nothing ever happens - and I wonder.
I wonder how, I wonder why yesterday you told me
'Bout the blue blue sky and all that I can see is just
A yellow lemon tree. I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around.
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree.
Sing: dah...
I'm sitting here, I miss the power, I'd like to go out,
Taking a shower, but there's a heavy cloud inside my head.
I feel so tired, put myself into bed, where nothing ever
Happens - and I wonder.
Isolation - is not the good for me.
Isolation - I don't want to sit on a lemon tree.
I'm steppin' around in a desert of joy. Baby anyhow I'll get
Another toy and everything will happen - and you'll wonder.
I wonder how, I wonder why yesterday you told me
'Bout the blue blue sky and all that I can see is just
Another lemon tree. I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder how, I wonder why yesterday you told me
'Bout the blue blue sky and all that I can see
And all that I can see
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.

Gloria Estefan - Can't Stay Away From You
Love, American Style (intro theme, by The Ron Hicklin Singers).
I always hated this show as a kid (and still do), but I always liked this opening theme song (or, more accurately, this version of it). The original version, used in the show's first season, was by The Cowsills, but lacked crispness and energy, IMO. No surprise it was replaced with this version in 1971.
Did the mouth blame the legs.... or the legs blame the mouth?

Translation
The bo staff is wide; the bench is long
The bench wants to tie itself to the ends of the bo staff
The bo staff is wide; the bench is long
The bench wants to tie itself to the ends of the bo staff
In London, Marilyn bought a qipao as a gift for her mother
In Mexico, Fuski fell in love with Chinese beef short noodles
People of every skin color
People with hair of every color
What they're reading, what they're saying... Chinese is becoming the new trend
How many years did we painstakingly practice English pronunciation and learn their grammar?
For a change, now it's their turn to get their tongues all in a knot
How smart the Chinese are!-- and how beautiful our language!
The bo staff is wide; the bench is long
The bench wants to tie itself to the ends of the bo staff
The bo staff won't let the bench tie itself to the ends of the bo staff
Instead, the bo staff wants to tie itself to the bench
The bench won't let the bo staff tie itself to the bench
So is the bo staff wide or the bench long?
Elder brother and younger brother sit on a hill
On the hill, there is a swan
At the bottom of the hill runs a river
The elder brother says, "The river is wide."
The younger brother says, "The swan is white."
The swan wants to cross the river; the river wants the swan to cross
Don't know if the swan is crossing the river or the river is crossing the swan
The whole world is learning Chinese
Confucius' words are becoming world culture
The whole world is speaking Chinese
Our language makes the people of the world listen up
In New York, Susanna
Opens up a Chinese style lounge bar
Wolfgang from Berlin
Pairs the erhu with his electric guitar
People of every skin color
People with hair of every color
What they're reading, what they're saying... Chinese is becoming the new trend
How many years did we painstakingly practice English pronunciation and learn their grammar?
For a change, now it's their turn to get their tongues all in a knot
How smart the Chinese are!-- and how beautiful our language!
There once was a child named XiaoDu
Went out one day to buy some vinegar and sell cloth
He sold his cloth, bought his vinegar
Turned around and saw an eagle catching a rabbit
He put down the cloth, cut loose the vinegar
Began to chase the eagle and the rabbit
The eagle flew away; the rabbit ran away
He spilled the vinegar, got the cloth wet
His mouth blamed his legs, his legs blamed his mouth
His mouth blamed his legs, those legs that love to run
His legs blamed his mouth, the mouth that loves to run
Moving just the mouth and not the legs
Moving just the legs and not the mouth
Might as well not have either legs or mouth
Did the mouth blame the legs...
... or the legs blame the mouth?

Panama Dance Craze Compilation with Chinese Dancers
Thais Turn 2013 Romanian Pop Song ‘Panama’ Into Dance Meme
November 11, 2017
BANGKOK — A horribly catchy 2013 Romanian pop song has become a dance meme among Thais, to the surprise and pleasure of the original artist.
Net idols, netizens and celebrities en masse have been dancing to “Panama” this month, a 2013 song by Romanian artist Matteo. The steps are simple: Draw a Z in the air, do the hula twice and then a twerk.
...
The meme of people dancing to “Panama” seems to have originated from Chinese video-sharing app DouYou, where people shared short clips of themselves dancing to the song as far back as late September. The tune then caught on among Thai net idols in October before really exploding among celebrities and fleet-footed Thais this month.
According to YouTube commenter Fern ja, “Panama” had about 8 million views “when the song started being a hit.” It had gained 13 million views by Nov. 3 and as of Saturday had more than 20 million hits – judging by the comments, they were mostly from Thais.
Celebs that have joined the Panama craze include actresses Janie Tienphosuwan and Chotika “Noey” Wongwilas as well as singer Suteewan Thaveesin, or “Baitoey R Siam.”
Curiously, the “Panama dance” is absent in Matteo’s official video. In its description, a Thai phrase – presumably added recently – says “Full version. Go dance and have fun with it!”
