Thanks RP! I used to play this song occasionally on my "Greater Earth Vibrations" at UVM's WRUV-FM in the 90's. Great to -ever- hear it outside my collection!

I think it translates into 'salad made by you, you' in English, I could be wrong though?

I had to check out what was this, as the singer was sounding familiar, but I sure never heard this.   After getting his name I remembered he Toured with Peter Gabriel quite a few years ago.

I am sure the population of Europe is short on illegals.  If you want more, why not change the laws to let them come LEGALLY and then donate some money for their travel expenses. 

I say shame on 'im.
