Still on a Hungarian tip here, this cover of "Staying Alive" from the land of Lugosi doesn't know if it's a tribute to the Bee Gees or N-Trance but whatever..

Always up to speed with current events on this channel, here is a Hungarian-language cover of Boney M's "Rasputin" to celebrate the demise of someone who was - until very recently - much-loved by a particular Muscovite.
Oh, those Russians!!

RIP Indian songstress Asha Bhosle, famously the subject of Cornershop's chart-topping "Brimful of Asha".
Here is Ms. Bhosle covering The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" in Hindi, which probably was what gave Cornershop the idea to do the same thing themselves.

As is often the case with Bollywood-flavoured foreign covers, this one ends up as something quite different from what it started as, in this case a riff on Vanilla Ice's Queen/Bowie sampling "Ice Ice Baby".
Many thanks to @darkoutside.co.uk for unearthing!

Almost positive that I have already posted this very Balearic-friendly Italian-language re-reading of Hall and Oates' "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" but just in case this is an AI-like hallucination here it is again (or not).

Given that these are literally "In Between Days" - between the 26th and the 30th of December - what more appropriate ditty to play than an Argentine cover of that very song by The Cure, in Spanish of course.

Tintin magazine dated December 23, 1948. On the cover, Tintin, Captain Haddock, Snowy, Professor Calculus, Thomson, and Thompson are kneeling in prayer before a Nativity scene set. There is a Christmas tree in the background.

This Polish-sung version of Wham!'s "Last Christmas" is chilled out to the point of being virtually unrecognisable.

Here is a very German cover (looks-wise at least, think Modern Talking aesthetic) of the late Chris Rea's "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat".

Sad to hear of the passing of Chris Rea.
Despite multiple foreign covers of "Driving Home For Christmas" previously aired here, here is one of a couple of totally different Czech versions of "The Road To Hell".

In Norway, "Frosty the Snowman" is re-named Kalle, which coincidentally is also the Swedish given name for Donald Duck.
But without the "Duck" bit, obvs.

This Greek-sung version of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" seems to think it's "Joy To The World", at the start at least.

This is a very pleasant piano-led Dutch-language cover of The Pretenders' festive hit "2000 Miles", which naturally becomes 2000 Kilometres in translation.

So Kylie Minogue has an actually festive Christmas number one this year, but it's not her first festive recording... as that was her cover of Madonna's cover of Eartha Kitt's original of "Santa Baby", a number here performed by an Icelandic gentleman in his native tongue.

This Italian take on Stevie Wonder's "Someday At Christmas" from 1967 is completely devoid of anything festive whatsoever.
