A better foreign-language example of "Sloop John B" is the one in Czech by Pavel Novák, as it takes its cue from Brian's arrangement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foaa9Cr2ck4

COMMENT: Done a couple of these. A language coach is at the session. Words are written phonetically, that is, by the way they sound, and after a few rehearsals, it's done. ~swd

That was the way Robert Palmer wrote/sang "The Silver Gun" in Urdu back in 1983

It's beautiful! But, I can't seem to stop laughing everytime they sing the chorus, it sounds they're saying "God's a lie".

Yes! I was actually talking about it today. Brazil definitely used it a lot in the 50s/60s/70s, almost every hit song at that time was written with this pattern.

NO GO SHOWBOAT = J'AI PAS LE TEMPS
Petula Clark sang this on a French record, but the lyrics were re-written so they've nothing to do with cars (so a translation of the title will have no connection)
this one can be found easily enough on compilation CD's

Added to the list - Thanks JK and RR As JK says, I'm keeping covers (both English and foreign-language) on hold at the moment, since it turns out there is a lot more covers of Beach Boys originals than I thought, and I'd like to make a bigger dent in them before moving expanding my scope even more. I currently have 1352 covers and it still feels like a drop in the ocean - there are way more than I realised - currently 131 are in the non-English list. I've added those Italian ones and the Spanish 'Til I Die also - thanks Pablo and STE. Finally, this is off-topic, but I've also set up a Christmas page for those interested. https://christophercook.me.uk/beachboys/christmas.php

I went to a scouts jamboree in Norway in 1989 (Skaugum 89) and there was an album produced just for the occasion, with various Norwegian artists including Morten Harket of A-Ha fame and Bjorn Eidsvag. Well, one of the tracks was Hjelp Meg Ragna which was a re-working of Help Me Rhonda, recorded by Vazelina Billophoggers, sung in Norwegian,
