From Hungary... Pink Floyd - "Another Brick In The Wall" -- 400 Musicians and children's choir... CITYROCKS flashmob...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWf-xWv6WIs

Led Zeppelin in the audience listening to... Stairway to Heaven

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cZ_EFAmj08

From the top comment: "When you are able to bring the actual band members of Led Zeppelin to tears over your stairway cover, you know you’ve done something right."

This is one of the most popular songs of the sixties. California Dreaming by The Mamas & the Papas.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-aK6JnyFmk

An earlier recording of California Dreaming by The Mamas & the Papas had different lyrics!

The lyrics in the earliest version of the song say...

"Stepped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
and I began to pray"

Vs the popular sixties version that says...

"Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray"

Note that this latest version is grammatically incorrect because it is mixing the Past Tense with the Present Tense.

See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPSQHipkfGA

Here Michelle Philips is singing with the Beach Boys and she [IMO] says "began to pray." Note that Michelle Philips is the author of the lyrics.

God bless you Michelle!

Tonight let's go back to the early 1800s and go whaling with "The Wellerman..."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNmLn6a-jqw

And then decide what to do with a "Drunken Sailor" early in the morning...
Wow, "Put him in the bed with the captains daughter?..."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMOyOlmBYCU

And then just "Hoist the Colors" High...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4T5sxTVGoE

"Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
she once was a true love of mine"

Scarborough Fair is another song - an old English ballad - from the sixties made popular by Simon & Garfunkel.

This rendition is by Sarah Brightman in a clip from The Lord of The Rings!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaBA6hqpvPM

The second rendition is by Hayley Westenra of the Celtic Woman group at the Slane Castle in Ireland...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiZJP_XLmrQ

Finally, this is Simon & Garfunkel in Scarborough Fair

• Star Spangled Banner As You've Never Heard It -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaxGNQE5ZLA

• Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCdo-KjiTlc --

Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill
Who can blame me, cryin' my fill
And ev'ry tear would turn a mill,
Johnny has gone for a soldier.

Me, oh my, I loved him so,
Broke my heart to see him go,
And only time will heal my woe,
Johnny has gone for a soldier...

• This Land Is Your Land -- Woody Guthrie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo_A-7Pespg

This land is your land and this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
Saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me...

• America The Beautiful -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCQq6HzcXI8

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain

America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
and crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea...

• God Bless America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohxDqJCI3yY

God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above

From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home...

• Take Me Home, Country Roads - John Denver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTeUdJky9rY

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowin' like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads...

• Oh My Darlin' Clementine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twRr3ygK3TM

Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow, Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine...

• André Rieu in one of the most popular waltzes - The Second Waltz by Dmitri Shostakovich... What I think is special about this rendition are the human voices from the choir that sound like another instrument! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX1fiE0U1qA

• Another waltz by André Rieu - a Danube medley - except the Swans and other birds are doing the dancing - the video of the birds in this clip is just beautiful! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oEBrh8j-g

A Translation...

Voila

Listen to me
Me, the half-singer
Talk about me
To your loves, to your friends
Tell them about this black eyed girl
And of his mad dream
Me, what I want is to write stories
Who reach you
That's it

Here, here, here
This is who I'm
Here I'm even though
Exposed, I'm afraid, yes
Here I'm in the noise
And in the silence
