Foreign language UK number 1's.

[flobadob]

Gangnam Style recently got to number 1 in the UK charts and it is mostly sung in Korean. Are there any other songs sung mainly in a foreign language that achieved the same feat?

According to Wiki :-

"Dominique" reached the top ten in eleven countries in late 1963 and early 1964, topping the hit lists in the United States, Canada and New Zealand. It reached the Top 5 in Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Australia and South Africa, with the song making it into the lower reaches of the Top 10 in the Netherlands, West Germany and the United Kingdom.

I was going to say A Little Peace by Nicole, that won the Eurovision song Contest in 1982, but it looks like she sang the chart version in English
