Bobby Darin could sing anything. Here is the country song he penned in 1962.
University of Maryland · February 14, 2013 · Dave Ottalini
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The ancient Romans knew a little something about celebrating love - but it was March, not February when they had their fun.
"Love celebrations did not show up on the ancient Roman calendar until March 1, which was sacred to Juno, goddess of marriage," says University of Maryland Classics Professor Judith Hallett.
Hallett says there are many, many examples of romantic poems sent by one Roman lover to another.
But for a romantic looking to express his or her love in the 21st Century, Hallett suggests something a bit...different. A more modern love song - translated into Latin, for example, might just be the perfect way to woo a lady's heart. Take the classic "As Time Goes By" (by Herman Hupfeld. Copyright 1931 by Warner Brothers) made famous in the movie Casabanca (scroll down to hear the audio version).
"On that day husbands would pray for the health of their wives and give them presents, and wives would dress up."

Give a listen to these boys from Norway on the Kenny Rogers classic: Kurt Nilsen, Espen Lind, Askil Holm and Alejandro Fuentes, originally from Chile. The harmonies these guys put out are beautiful.
Kurt Nilsen, full-time plumber from near Bergen, Norway barely qualified in Norway's Idol and then placed number 1 in the World Idol competition.

Update: removed one of the videos because. Here's a reference link in case I change my mind later on.

Here's a live concert of them singing the same song which I've tried to embed and failed above.
There's around 25 seconds of them speaking in Norwegian if you wish to skip ahead.
The audio is incredible which makes me wonder how many Krone the Norwegian concert promoters are willing to sign off on in the riders to the performance contract. Sound and light companies charge mega dollars here in the USA and don't come close to the sound in this performance.

Norwegian speak English better than many folks I've met here on the West Coast. According to a Norwegian friend, learning English in school is mandatory there. They begin teaching English in Kindergarten and expect the kids to be fluent very quickly. I won't begin my rant about US schools here, maybe later. :)

Odd. I made two posts to what I thought was directed toward the Patsy Cline video, but they posted to the Bill Monroe thread.

No Time to Kill by Clint Black
There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave.
Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you save.
Legal tenders never gonna change the number of your days.
The highest cost of livin is dying, that's one everybody pays.
So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill.
If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrows yesterdays and make it last somehow
Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play
And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day.
The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to kill.
No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still.
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry looking back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill.
If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly.
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had til we grow old.
And do we just keep killin time until there's no time to kill.
No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin still.

When I first heard this song I couldn't hear it enough. I wanted to hear it several times a day. I went out and bought the CD and listened to it over and over. Years later, I still feel the same about it.
