Here is one for Sven;

Apparently this is from a 1957 German movie musical - a song called 'Rose von Tahiti' which translates to 'Rose of Tahiti' The singer is Gerhard Wendland - I don't know the name of the movie.

Pretty cool and unusual video - goes from a street scene to a dream sequence, with some very Dali-esque sets.

On-line translation of the song lyrics .....

Rose of Tahiti, a sailor Bride
you will be forever
Rose of Tahiti, where the inlet characterized
You were once mine

Lonely are the nights at sea
you know, I never repeat
Rose of Tahiti, a seaman's heart
longs so much so
longs so much so
