I went to a champagne oyster bar in Anchorage Alaska that played French pop music. Not sure if it was just me being tipsy and having a good time, but I loved nearly every song and now i'm having zero luck finding them or even remembering how they go. Help me out and post your favorite French music (didn't see the need to restrict it to pop).

Ode to Rene by Ween

Ce soir, ajournai, et trois l'avec garcon
Trouver poisson t'elle voux
Jambon ou deux Schweppes, oh bebe
Pour chous avec no nous, apres tu
Il jamais coissants et tele vous
L'amour, bien, bien
A'vril til madame, monsieur, oui, oui
A vous le vous, for you

That's right

(repeat verse)

Ce soir, ajournai , et trois l'avec garcon
Trouver poisson t'elle voux
Jambon ou deux Schweppes, bebe
Pour chous avec no nous, apres tu
Il jamais coissants et tele vous
L'amour, bien, bien
A'vril til madame, monsieur, oui, oui
A vous le vous, fuck you, apres tu


(Rough English translation:

Tonight, postponed....and three with my brother,
finds fish, you and you,
ham and two of Schweppes....baby.

And with no, and with you,
I like croissants , television and you
love, good good...have you, madame, sir, yes, yes,
You and I, for you

This was an 80s earworm when I was a kid .




Probably excruciating to real French folks because it got played more than alanis morissette here.

Also cheating - gabriel Yates's themes from betty blue - when the electric guitar comes in at 47 seconds it comes into its own.

The only one I know is that song from Inception.

And I guess Frère Jacques.

But some of these are pretty catchy.

This album was a staff pick or freeleech or something at one point back when I was on Oink and I've always loved it

Canada
This one is English and French, sung by Mike Patton
Secret Chiefs 3 - La Chanson de Jacky


Machine translation of the French part:
Even if one day in Paradise
I become as I would be surprised
Singer for women with white wings
May I sing to them Alleluia
Regretting the time from below
Where it's not everyday Sunday
Even if they call me God the Father
Whoever is in the directory
Between Dieulefit and God keep you
Even if I let my beard grow
Even if still too good apple
I break my heart and pure spirit
To want to console men
I know that every night
I will hear in my
Paradise Angels, Saints and Lucifer
Sing me the song of old
That of my time when my name was Jacky


This is the only French song by one of my favourite bands, Canada's Rheostatics.
Rheostatics - Melville - 07 Chanson Les Ruelles


Rough translation:
I decided to write
In French for this song.
It's not the words, it's the melody
That speaks with clarity.
In the country where there are two languages
There are a lot of people with guitars
In basements of churches and backyards
On the radio and also in the bars.
Maybe our sales suffer in the United States
We sing for ourselves
Anyway.
Let the young rock stars go south
They will forget and so will we
It's not their fault; it's the way of the world
I hope the border does not disappear ...
