The human rights activist was interviewed by presenter Kirsty Young for the BBC show at her home in Burma, and Suu Kyi chose 'Green, Green Grass Of Home' by Tom Jones, because her personal assistant loves the 1966 chart-topping single, reported Daily Mail.
"The next is a piece of music which I've never heard before and I am not sure whether I am going to like it or not.
"I have chosen this for my personal assistant, Dr Tin Mar Aung. I asked her which piece of music she'd like to choose and she said 'Green, Green Grass Of Home'. She explained to me that when she was working as a doctor in England, it used to remind her of Burma."
"I hope I like it," added Suu Kyi, who was held under house arrest by Burma's military junta for almost 15 years.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner, who was married to British academic Dr Michael Aris until his death from prostate cancer in 1999, later told Young that she likes the song.
Young travelled to Suu Kyi's home in Burma in December last year to record the far-reaching interview, aired today on BBC Radio 4.
The 67-year-old campaigner, who was first detained in 1989 and finally released in 2010, also picked John Lennon's 'Imagine' and Pachelbel's 'Canon', which she played on the piano during her years under house arrest.
