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 bunj's answer shows, even execrable American hipster "French" qualifies!

I have a big cheesy soft spot for "Ne Me Quitte Pas" by Jacques Brel, and "Quelqu'un M'a Dit" by Carla Bruni is running through my head this week.
