Paris in July: I Swear I Know That Song

 

Earlier in this year's Paris in July event I shared some Paris themed songs.

Today, I thought I would have a bit of fun by sharing some songs that will sound familiar and yet not quite as we know them!

Let's start with Ces Soiree La by Yannick

And now we go old school with Personnalites by Sacha Distel

Here's one I am pretty sure you will recognise

Here is French rock legend Johnny Halliday singing Noir C'est Noir. (I may have spent quite a while watching live videos of Johnny Halliday when I was preparing this post. No idea what he was singing but he clearly was a big star in France!

And finally another old school song, although apparently the words have been changed a little

I thought I would try and find some songs where the reverse happened. Even though there are many examples of English language versions of French movies, I couldn't find any songs which were originally recorded in French and then translated to English.



Do you know of any other French versions of English songs, or vice versa?
