Vive la France

[Grappler]

From Wiki

"The song starts with the intro to the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise", and contains elements from Glenn Miller's 1939 hit "In the Mood", as well as elements from Wayne Shanklin's 1958 hit "Chanson D'Amour". The song is notable for its asymmetric time signature and complex changes. The main verse pattern contains a total of 29 beats, split into two 7/4 measures, a single bar of 8/4, "

Is that Chanson D'Amour the same as the Manhattan Transfer one?

Yes thy had a cover version hit with it

"...Is that Chanson D'Amour the same as the Manhattan Transfer one?..."

The guy who got offended at Gary Sinclair saying 'Viva La France' at the game on Saturday must have self imploded at the sight of England fans singing the French national
anthem on Tuesday.

For those wanting to join in with the Marseillaise I'll reproduce the lyrics here:-

Ha hon he hon he hon he hon he hon, ha hon he hon heee hon he heeee
Hon he hon hee hon hon ha hon he heeeee
Ha hon he hon hon hon hon he heee
Hooooon ha hon he heee
Hooooon ha hon he heee
Hon hee hon hon heee, hon heee hon hee heee
Hon ha hon he heee

You're welcome

Those that didn't know the words could have sung this version from the book of rugby songs..........

A Frenchman went to the lavatory
for to have a jolly good shit,
He took his coat and trousers off
so that he could revel in it.
But when he went for the paper
he found that someone had been there before,
Ou est le papier
Ou est le papier
Monsieur, Monsieur, Jai ma manure
