I was thinking of "Am I ever gonna see your face again".
Brilliant, I had absolutely no idea that was Australian but it makes sense!
Btw it was a massive hit in the UK too
It kept Ultravox's Vienna from number one in the charts. Apparently Midge Ure has never got over it.
That's because he's so short his wee legs won't reach
For Romania it has to be this:

It even became something of a hymn for the 1989 revolution.
'Kender du det ?" (1975) by Søren Kragh-Jacobsen
The country is Denmark :)
Skipper Klements morgensang: https://youtu.be/C0QQzXgKwOI?si=Ifno3B832V7P33D- A song from 1970 (I actually thought it was way older) about a civil war in 1534
There are so many good ones for Austria. Probably have to go for Fürstenfeld by STS. I have never met somebody in Austria who wasn't able to sing this, even (or especially) when drunk.
France, Chanson de Prevert from 1962 : https://invidious.privacydev.net/watch?v=5DeA8FPqWwc
I dont think Gainsbourg got much audience outside of France, but he was THE french singer for almost half a century
The english version from Mick Harvey is probably better: https://invidious.privacydev.net/watch?v=6J_ls-1FYuk

It still can be heard at every wedding parties.
Germany
The title of this song from 1974 became a German saying.
Udo Lindenberg, originally a jazz drummer, was the first German to make authentic German rock and pop music, in the German language, without it being "Schlager".
Alles klar auf der Andrea Doria (All clear on the Andrea Doria):
This song was HUGE in the US. My one of my absolute favorite songs to play
No way, I love that song!
Sing it again, High-fructose Boy 😁
'Fog on the Tyne' by Gazza and Lindesfarne from 1990. I have to warn you that it's awful, and yet, infuriatingly catchy.
For those who don't know, Gazza was a famous and talented English footballer with a massive booze addiction, and a tendency towards domestic abuse.
