balmofgileadOh, neat. Little Peggy March's I Will Follow Him was a translation of a song Petula Clark recorded in French.
I love little things like that, covers that are fairly different from the original in some way. I like how Blondie's Denis is a version of Randy & the Rainbows' Denise. Blondie also covered The Paragon's 1967 song The Tide Is High. I like how April March's Chick Habit is a translation of the old France Gall's Laisse Tomber les Filles. I like how The Toys' Lovers' Concerto is based on Bach's Minuet in G major. And yes, I like how Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah is based on Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours.
