Oh, there are so many songs I could choose. Most hits from Brazil aren't well known outside. This one is a certified classic, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOchidcyv9Q

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.

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".

'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.
