Engrish Songs

Southeast Asians don't know alot of songs in english, but the ones they do know they like A LOT. Here's a countdown of the top favorites in Vietnam.

4.) Country Roads- John Denver
I don't understand the appeal. It's an old, fairly obscure, bad song. I guess it's not horrible, but nothing explains to me why every single person in Vietnam knows the words.

3.) Zombie- The Cranberries
Again, I don't get it. It's one of those songs I was done with in the first few listenings back in the 90's. They go batty over this song here, and i even learned it on guitar to satisfy all the requests for it. If I hear it one more time, I'm offing myself.

2.) Hello- Lionel Richie
Finally something i can get behind. I'd prefer "Easy", but I'll take what i can get.
At least once a day I hear somone singing this song. I think they like this song because it's a sad love song in a minor key. For some reason that strikes a chord with these people.

1.) Hotel California- The Eagles
I swear to God, if I have a nemesis in this world, this song is it. I have heard this song so many times here, I have developed an intense, living relationship with it. I have analyzed the grammar in every verse, I have conversations with it, and i think i could sing it word for word, back to front. It dwells in the dark domain of my nightmares, and I am interred in its prison of torment.

I stab it with my steely knife but i just can't kill the beast.
