re. The Seekers - The Carnival Is Over.
I remember a song at school about 38 years ago that followed this melody - I think it was a translation of the Russian folksong "Stenka Razin".

Not mainstream artists but made uk charts (i think) J J Barrie - No Charge and Red Sovine -Teddy Bear. Both would melt a heart of stone
Bee Gees - I've gotta Get A Message To You
Beatles - This Boy
Dave Clark 5 - Everybody Knows
