    Name that tune

    I've got a particular song going round my head, unfortunately I can't remember who it is by. It's sung by a French guy. In french, maybe a girl as well, and it sounds a bit like Cibelle . I would describe it as whimsical. Any ideas?
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Been on Google but I'm no where near close to an answer

    Off on a slight tangent, I bet most of these French ones had a full set

    It's alot more recent than that Ian. I'm guessing maybe 7 or 8 years ago. The tune reminds me a bit of the first few bars of the Rainbow theme tune.
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    I know that it's not this, but it's an excuse to post this Georges Brassens number.

    Cibelle = Si belle ? Then possibly Elle Est Si Belle by Hector Zazou & Edo ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPNPrvRgQHs

    I didn't catch the name of the singer, but I think the title had 'Le vent' in it.

    It's not 'Today'. They're interviewing some Turkish bird on desert island discs.

    Oops - my poor attempt at humour, it was a translation of Slow Worm by Alex and Pussycat.

    Noir Désir are pretty much out of favour - Bertrand Cantat, lead singer, went to prison for manslaughter after his girlfriend Marie Trintignant (daughter of Jean-Louis) died after he had hit her about the head. Also, his ex-wife committed suicide after complaining of mental abuse.

    You're right. maybe I'm over reacting. I still like 'smooth criminal' and 'billie jean', even though the cops did find an adult sized crotchless bunny suit at neverland.
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    How do you feel about 'Everyone's gone to the Moon' and 'Do you wanna be in my gang' ?

    Never liked the glitter band anyway I thought they looked ridiculous dressed up in their tinfoil suits on TOTP.

    still like James Brown though. Didn't he shoot his dad or something?
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Marvin Gayes dad shot Marvin? James Brown was a fruitcake with many charges on his rap sheet though.

    French, you say...?

    I'd have immediately suggested this passable impression of a native speaker of Francais.
