"The Carnival Is Over" Bonus

Here's one from late 1965 by the Seekers that topped the charts not only in the UK, but in Ireland and their native Australia. Yet this record didn't even crack the Hot 100 in America. It was based on the melody of an 1800's Russian folk song, with English lyrics by Tom Springfield (Dusty's brother). He wrote it after being in Rio and witnessing Carnival.
