Just an idea from another thread. This is a pretty international forum, so I wondered what artiste really makes you wish you were born somewhere else. Have a think (and try to stick to globally knowns). For every great country, there's a John Mellenkamp.

Me? I had a bad time when a friend in Chicago said "Wow! You're from the same country as Phil Collins! Isn't that great?" Er,...

I can think of plenty of actor relations to Australia that make me cringe but I'm having a hard time with bands at the moment. I'll edit this when one comes to mind.

EDIT: It was staring me in the face but I didn't see it until 1BL mentioned him to me - PETER ANDRE

The original question said what artiste ... therefore your answer doesn't qualify.

I have to disagree, every morning when I wake up to my (at the moment) crappy little little existence, I think...well, at least I woke up with Phil Collins...

Blimey, I did wonder what Phil Collins was doing for duvet-sharing since Mrs Collins ran off with the painter-and-decorator Shocked .

ps, another forum I typed in on had such a thing that even the Japanese valve/tube manufacturer "Matsushita" came out as "Matsu****a" and "Scunthorpe" became "S****horpe" but "crappy" just sailed through.
