Does anyone know the languages of different countries on the logos The Dukes of Hazzard?

For example:

1 - USA - The Dukes of Hazzard

2 - Portugal - Os Três Duques

3 - Spain - Los Dukes de Hazzard

And more? Does anybody know...

Unsurprisingly, it's called 'The Dukes of Hazzard' in Britain and Ireland.

In France it's called 'Shérif Fais Moi Peur', which means something like 'Sheriff, Scare Me' (Google Translate automatically translates it as 'Dukes of Hazzard').

The theme is the same tune, but with French words (and no Waylon):

 

Maybe i1976 can back me up on this, but in Italy it appears to be called simply 'Hazzard':

The theme tune is completely different, but quite catchy. It's called 'La Ballata di Bo e Luke' ('The Ballad of Bo and Luke'):

I nearly forgot Germany where it's called 'Ein Duke Kommt Selten Allein', literally 'A Duke Rarely Comes Alone' (again, Google just translates it as 'Dukes of Hazzard'). I can't find a German intro/theme tune, so I'm guessing they use the one with Waylon.

It's very disco-y. LOL.

You're right, HossC.

In Italy it's simply "HAZZARD", and the theme song it's completely different from the original one, but I love it 'cause it brings me back to my childhood (great times... great times... when I was a little child waiting for the show ... and having a start everytime I saw Enos, ). And I love the original theme too 'cause... it's the original one,

Here are the DVD covers of the Spanish and Portuguese releases:

And also Brazil.

4 - Brazil - Os Gatões

5 - Croatian - DUKEOVI IZ HAZZARDA

6 - Hungarian - Hazárd Megye Lordjai

There's more...

Here goes:

7 - Russia - Дюки из Хаззарда or Придурки из Хаззарда

8 - Greece - ΝΤΙΟΥΚΣ or Οι Ντιούκς

9 - Czech Republic - Mistři hazardu

10 - Poland - Diukowie Hazzardu

Thank you all.

Thanks for posting those covers from Spain and Portugal Hoss. Those are cool!

I noticed yesterday when new member napo (Ramiro) posted pictures in the Introduce Yourself thread that Argentina calls the series 'Los Duques de Hazzard', unlike in Spain where it's called 'Los Dukes de Hazzard' (see above). From what I can tell, some Spanish speaking countries such as Argentina and Peru use the former, while others like Spain and Mexico use the latter. Here's a clearer view of the cover:

I also found a picture of most of the season 1 episode summaries from the same source. Just for a bit of fun, here's what they look like in (Argentinian) Spanish:

Good job, Hoss. Thank you.

Here in the Netherlands it's just called The Dukes of Hazzard.

For some reason, I had always understood that "Shérif Fais Moi Peur" translated as "(The) Sheriff Hates Me", I didn't realise it meant that it translated as "...Scares Me". Actually, I think the former would work better, as we all know the Dukes ain't scared of ol' Rosco!

It's also a fun fact to find that Google auto-translates "Shérif Fais Moi Peur" into "Dukes of Hazzard", I hadn't realised that.

(Sad geeky fact: Back in the heyday of my vintage TV collecting, I made a collection of overseas TV show titles adaptations. One of my favourites was 'Kojak' in, I think, Spanish, where it was given the title, translated, as "Lion with No Mane". Okay, getting off thread now!)

Yes in Germany the use the song from Waylon

I knew them Portuguese had a DVD release of the series, but never did I know there was in Spanish, too.

Thanks for these covers. Not much point hunting it down unless for dubs and subs, I suppose.

 

The best DVD release remains the American. Correct resolution, no ghosting and accurate framerate.

 

Let's hope they'll release the series on Blu-ray, Amazon has the show in HD, but cropped to 16:9 so you can't see detail you'd see on 4:3. For that reason, I prefer the DVDs over the HD version.

The Brazilian title made it sound like some sort of a porn.

The Dukes of Hazzard French Extended version.

You got the blues inside 
We can see it in your eyes
The blues is pretty good
OK, but you have to put some country in your mood
Dream in the day
And make your honey
With the fire that shines
In every girl's eyes
The country life is the one I have chosen 
I can tear your fog
With a single guitar chord
Leave your greyness
And make your star dance
The blues are pretty good
OK, but you have to put some country in your mood
The country life is the one I have chosen
I can take your fog
With a single guitar chord
Don't be pushed around again 
Without playing the bad man
If there's a law
You will have to show your claws
And make the Sheriff go

The French Dukes of Hazzard words in English.

I like the French song. It's catchy. Does anybody here know who that guy is in the French version of the theme song? The background singer who goes "ah ooh ah ooh" in between the main singer's words? I like that "ah ooh ah ooh" part.

According to the Wikipedia page for Shérif, fais-moi peur (it's in French), the French theme was sung by Israeli singer Noam (Kaniel) with lyrics by Israeli producer Haim Saban. There's no mention of any backing singers.
