Swedish songs for haraang
so i was listening to my YahooRadio today, and this awesomely horrible song comes on called The Hut-Sut Song (A Swedish Serenade) By Freddy Martin.
One, its pretty funny, and two, I can't tell if the chorus is in swedish or not, kinda sounds like it.
I think it would be kinda funny to play for a them night or in Haraang in general.
What other songs could you add to this one to make a complete "Around the world in 80 days" theme night?

Borneo
Shanghai Shuffle
Belleville (I think it's a real city)
Nagasaki
Songs about the US (Drop Me Off in Harlem, Dear Old Southland, etc.)
Hindustan
Copenhagen
Song of India
There'll Be a Hot Time in the Town of Berlin
Scotch and Soda (kind of a stretch)
African Jive (Slim & Slam) is probably a little too out there
Hangin' Around Boudon (Django)
China Boy
Björk's jazz album
The Sheik of Araby
Panama
Loch Lomond (i.e. the Goodman version)
Egyptian Fantasy
Spanish Kick (Charlie Barnet)
Non-Stop Flight (Artie Shaw - another stretch)
Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho (Sidney Bechet)
Jungle Drums
Russian Lullaby (Oscar Aleman)
April in Portugal (Oscar Aleman)
That's all I've got. But five points (?) to anyone who can come up with a (swing) song for South America or Antarctica. I wonder if there are any.

Slow Boat to China
Autumn in New York
Moonlight in Vermont
California Dreaming
I've Been Down in Texas
Low Down Upon The Harlem River
Georgia On My Mind
Charleston

St. Louis Blues
Echoes Of Spain
Swing De Paris
Echoes Of France
Stars Fell On Alabama

Actually in thinking, Stan Kenton did an entire 2 LP set of National Anthems of the Worlds in 1972.
Granted probably nothing in the set would be worthwhile for swing dancing!!! But you could get some very obscure places. There are 39 different tracks in the set. This is for 38 different countries.
They did 2 songs for the U.S.A. A medley of american folk related music and then a seperate track for the national anthem.
