Stereotypical french music required

[Goochie]

In my mind I can hear some stereotypical french music that would be perfect to play each time my french colleague phones my mobile - You know the kind of incidental music that you'd hear in the background of a TV program when they want to convey the feeling of walking around in Paris etc.

Any ideas?

It's obvious.

Only about 20s, too.

You want a bit of Gypsy Jazz, you do. Something from the Hot Club of France (Stefan Grapelli/Django Reinhardt). "Minor Swing", maybe?

Alternatively, you could go for something like Jacques Brel or Maurice Chevalier? or just Google up 'French Cafe Accordion Music' - typically French, but musically typically dire too.

THIS is what you require http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5hrUGFhsXo

Stereotypically french - and it takes the piss.

[Eric Mc]

Edith Piaf
Charles Trenet
Maurice Chevalier
Mireille Mathieu
Marie Miriam (who sang the best Eurovision song ever)

Google any of the above and you will find some typical French voices (male and female).

Oh yeah

THIS

...Because my local sounds like it every Fri/Sat night.

I generally do not go there unless I am already completely plastered. It's jolly good fun on a Sunday morning though (esp. after returning from a club), as all the locals get the vin rouge/whiskey in before wading off with their shotguns/high power rifles to tear up the local countryside.

Love it! You give them waaaay to much credit chap, most French people I know wouldn't know Django Reinhardt if he bit them on the arse. Smother him in potatoes or tell them they could legally aim a gun at him & they'd be well away...

theme tune from allo allo should be the ticket

[Goochie]

Thanks for all the youtube clips - but how am I going to save the sound from them onto an MP3 ?

You are, of course, absolutely correct. My excuse is that I am on a crusade to convert as many people as possible to the beauty of gypsy jazz, and this seemed like a good excuse.

Check out my mate Ben playing a bit of Django as evidence

Your mate is cheating. He's using four fingers to fret the notes
