Commemorating the shock death of Diana, Princess of Wales that dreadful week at the end of summer 1997, many people opined that this was tacky, but I quite enjoyed the mass-hysteria of it all...

Elton John ft. Blue: Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word
This song got really slagged off on its rerelease a couple of years ago... but I thought it was really good. The melancholy tune, not to mention the words: rhyming "word" with "absurd": classic!

Ave Maria: Techno Mix
Although this is very roman catholic (the antichrist's religion), I do like this... and as the saying goes: the Devil's Got All the Best Tunes..!!

Chris de Burgh: Lady in Red
Isn't this an amazing tune? Even people who cannot speak English have come up to him and said (through an interpreter, I'd assume) that though they could not understand the words ever bit of emotion comes through... and of course it does...

Kaoma: Lambada
... isn't this one classic..?!?...
Here's the lyrics:
Chorando se foi quem um dia so me fez chorar
Chorando se foi quem um dia so me fez chorar
Chorando estara ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia nao soube cuidar
Chorando estara ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia nao soube cuidar
A recordacao vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordacao vai estar pra sempre aonde for
Danca sol e mar guardarei no olhar
O amor faz perder encontrar
Lambando estarei ao lembrar que este amor
Por um dia um instante foi rei
A recordacao vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordacao vai estar pra sempre aonde for
Chorando estara ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia nao soube cuidar
Cancao riso e dor melodia de amor
Um momento que fica no ar
I-I-I
Losenta Lambada
Which mean:
Chorando if one day who was so made me cry
Chorando if one day who was so made me cry
Chorando estara to remember a love
That one day could not care
Chorando estara to remember a love
That one day could not care
The remembrance vai to be where he is
The remembrance vai be always get where for
Danca sun and sea in guardarei look
The love is losing find
Lambando will to remember that this love
For one day a moment was king
The remembrance vai to be where he is
The remembrance vai be always get where for
Chorando estara to remember a love
That one day could not care
Song laughter and pain melody of love
A moment that is in the air
I-I-I
Losenta Lambada
And here's what WIKIDPEDIA says about the band Kaoma:
At the end of the 1989 summer, a couple of French business men came to Brazil and bought the musical rights of about 300 lambada songs. They went back to France, and created the Kaoma Band and generated a lot of money on marketing, turning Lambada a world-wide known style, reaching even the far east of Japan in which Lambada is danced until nowadays.
Lambada entered the global mainstream when the French pop group Kaoma recorded a number one worldwide summer hit "Lambada" which sold 5 million singles in 1989. In Portuguese the Lambada song is called Chorando se foi which means the one who left crying.
In the music video, there were two young children, named Chico and Roberta, performing the lambada dance. They shortly thereafter started their own musical career.
The Lambada song was actually an unauthorized translation of the song Llorando se fue (1982) (which means: the one who left crying), from the Bolivian group Los K’jarkas
Here's the lyrics:
Chorando se foi quem um dia so me fez chorar
Chorando se foi quem um dia so me fez chorar
Chorando estara ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia nao soube cuidar
Chorando estara ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia nao soube cuidar
A recordacao vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordacao vai estar pra sempre aonde for
Danca sol e mar guardarei no olhar
O amor faz perder encontrar
Lambando estarei ao lembrar que este amor
Por um dia um instante foi rei
A recordacao vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordacao vai estar pra sempre aonde for
Chorando estara ao lembrar de um amor
