Here's the audio: I had KSJX the other day with their Vietnamese programming and caught this.... The Searchers "Love Potion #9".. being sung in Vietnamese!! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LTgUZ45Eu8N9vh45oi1dV64TQXCeS22V/view?usp=sharing>>> Interesting. I'm guessing the song is popular in Vietnam. When I was there(courtesy US Army) in 1966-67, I happened to attend a rock concert at a theater, and heard a Vietnamese band playing and singing "Love Potion #9" in English. I don’t think they spoke much English, as they mispronounced a lot of words to the point where some lyrics sounded to me like a mumble. Of course San José, where KSJX is located, is home to a very large Vietnamese community.
