Sachet, chantez!

Three days of rain outside and anxiety at work is doing nothing for my bad mood. Let's try a poll!

What are your favourite songs with lyrics either partially or entirely in French?


Entirement en français:
  1. "Pas assez de toi" (Mano Negra)
  2. "L'aventurier" (Indochine)
  3. "Les nuits d'été, Op. 7: I. Villanelle" (Hector Berlioz)


Partiellement en français:
  1. "Games Without Frontiers" (Peter Gabriel)
  2. "Brigadier Sabary" (Alpha Blondy)

Update: I almost said "favourite pop songs" but then decided to leave out the qualifier. And I'm glad I did, because I'm really enjoying everyone's classy choices. But don't be intimidated; as [livejournal.com profile] bunj's answer shows, even execrable American hipster "French" qualifies!

I, too, have a weak spot for Jacques Brel's "Ne me quitte pas". In the guilty pleasures department, I have a bit of a thing for two former Eurovision Song Contest winners, Corinne Hermès' "Si la vie" and Amina's "C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison".
