Vitam vitr v udoli - Karel Gott

In 1968 Karel Gott represented Austria at the Eurovision Song Contest with 'Tausend Fenster', a song written by Udo Jürgens. Since Karel was a Czech singer, it shouldn't be too surprising that he also recorded the song in is mother tongue. And so, 'Tausend Fenster' became 'Vitam vitr v udoli', a lyric that is totally unintelligible for most world citizens.

However, the song was released by the Czechoslovakian record label Supraphon, and this is the single I finally got to buy recently. This is one of the pleasures of Discogs, the worldwide market place: you would never find a single like this in a western European record store, or even a record fair!
