Can you name songs which have French in them?

I'm putting together a mixed CD with a mystery theme, and that theme is going to be songs with one or more lyrics in French. So far I have Lady Marmalade from Moulin Rouge, and Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads. Any others spring to mind?

Can you name songs which have French in them?
look what they've done with my song , ma. Melanie

Reply:There's a Missy Elliot song featuring MC Solar (he's a French rapper) and rapping in French... A good song actually I might root it out, can't remember the name but I'm sure it will come up if you google it.. Also i'm sure Celine Dion will have quite a few

A long shot, but - 'Belle' from Beauty and the Beast ("Bonjour, good day, how is your family, bonjour, good day, how is your wife?").
Reply:Girls Aloud - i can't speak French. That may be a little easy, they do this in French as well if that's what you're looking for. Other than that, I know little French so I don't know which ones have French in them!! Sorry!
