From a Distance written by Julie Gold performed by Nanci Griffith, although Melting Pot by Blue Mink is also an excellent choice.

Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros. Would be totally misprounounced by nearly everyone as is in Icelandic, but listening to that song makes me think of how lucky we are to be alive and how beautiful this world can be, despite all the crap that goes on.

And its about jumping in puddles, such a simple thing.

Answer 8

More to the point, when would you play it?!?

The 'international anthem' used at UN events is Beethoven's 9th symphony finale; the so-called 'Ode to Joy' (in English) and what a complete racket it is! Good idea to choose another one.....
