milkeybar kid Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Please, could someone list some titles of the most popular French songs that folk love to sing to at the fetes. I am hooked on Spotify.com so my idea would be to listen to "whats on your list" after spotify finding it and hopefully learn the words so I dont just mime at the fetes!! Thanks loads- Milkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Just what comes to my mind now;..( will probably complete later..)Older people would sing- " le petit vin blanc "- " la chenille " - " Boire un petit coup c'est agréable " - " la danse des canards "- " On n'a pas tous les jours 20 ans " Depending in which region you are, there are popular local songs In Provence -" le petit cabanon " In the north " le petit quinquin " Then, popular at all ages , Claude François " Alexandrie, alexandra ", etc ..I'm sure Clair and Odile, etc, will complete ..

milkeybar kid Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Brilliant-thank you. A reminder if you sign up for free with spotify.com you just paste the name of the tune in and hear it straight away , it does not download and stay on computer -its more a "listening live stream".
