With the United Nations General Assembly in town this week, let's put together a set of songs in foreign languages. To make it more interesting, let's limit it to songs that were hits in English. Think the Beatles' "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" ("I Want to Hold Your Hand"). We'll put together a set after 9am.

Here's what we played:

Seu Jorge "Rebel Rebel" (portuguese)

Blondie "Sunday Girl" (french)

Mayssa Karaa "White Rabbit" (arabic)

Les Surfs "Be My Baby" (spanish)

The Beatles "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (german)
