If Paul decides to participate, the English translated title of that Demis Roussos is, as he said, "I Remember", but if you also want the Greek word in the Latin alphabet, google translate shows it as "Thymamai", so you might put it as Demis Roussos - Thymamai (I Remember).

EDIT: By the way, some might have noticed, and probably no one cared, that I changed my youtube video embed (exact same music) thinking that some seeing Serge Gainsbourg walking and smoking around Paris might find the images distracting -- other than concert videos, mostly, and various music videos actually, I play music in the background, including off youtube, as I do other things, like most I expect. If this is distracting at all, for some it might be in a preferable way.





Not including my own choice, of course, I already have a top three, or between four, of those already listed that I'm reasonably confident with. I hope we do get some more participants. I regret missing a few of these interactive polls (been off-site), as I had a number of potential choices lined up to go. Just three more to go, or two more if Paul opts to play and in-time, for a full poll option house. Good going even if no one else participates in the nominations process. Of course the nominations bit is the easy part for participants, it's the listening to/ checking out everyone else's choices and choosing three from those that can take some time and patience, which I would think a significant reason why more of the forum membership don't participate (and I guess it can be disheartening or intimidating thinking no one, or hardly anyone might like your choice). Not sure what percentage of regular forum users have participated in this series so far, but I would expect that it's significantly repeat "customers". I'd like to host one of these down the road with my own special conditions (temporal conditions, say all 60s, and/or all instrumental, or...).

But, in looking at the original post, as a reminder for future polls, include the full rules for newcomers. That is, include: choose a song you enjoy and want to share with others. Don't vote until nominations are deemed final by OP and you have listened to all songs posted, and you can vote for your favorite 3 songs, but not your own. I noticed that there is already one vote up.

Maybe she just doesn't like Demis Roussos. now you are trolling...  did not now my name was so hard to spell  you think I'm a "she" - roflmao  You mean to tell me after all this time that you're really a "he"? That was your best-kept secret.

This is what it says in the introduction:-   1) isn't listed on PA, 2) has some singing, 3) is not in English, and 4) is not in your native language.   So how come my choice of song by Demis Roussos is unacceptable to you when Lorenzo (James Baldwin)  said yesterday in a private message to me that it was a "wonderful" choice? Neither Lewian, nor I understood if you nominate that song in the poll. You seemed to ignore Lewian's question to you above, so you created some confusion...  You can either go with my original choice of Demis Roussos song sung in Greek, or "Forever and Ever" sung in Spanish. I don't mind which.  I'm beginning to wish I never took part in this poll now though with the Land of Confusion I'm currently in. You may not like the Demis Roussos song I've chosen, but that happens to be my choice, so take it or leave it. I don't understand why the song is unacceptable for this poll though, when it conforms with Lewian's four points listed above?
