We wanted to issue you a bit of a challenge today.
Thanks to Michael (a sustaining member!) who wrote in with the following idea:
I've always been fascinated with languages and I really respect people who learn foreign tongues. I think it's especially cool when English-speaking musicians put non-English lines into their songs.
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that feature non-English lyrics from English-speaking bands?
Songs played
Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
Reflektor - Arcade Fire
Michelle - The Beatles
Vamos - Pixies
My Cherie Amour - Stevie Wonder
Sunday Girl - Blondie
California Uber Alles - Dead Kennedys
Ca Plane Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand
