    I think the most obvious reference is Elvis

    "Amour viens sur ma bouche ! Amour ouvre tes portes !
    Traverse les couloirs, descends, marche léger,
    Vole dans l’escalier, plus souple qu’un berger,
    Plus soutenu par l’air qu’un vol de feuilles mortes."

    The song's title is "Always True to You in My Fashion"

    Its wikipedia page also states the possible reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Always_..._in_My_Fashion

    In an apparent allusion to Porter's song, Morrissey's "Speedway", from the 1994 album Vauxhall & I, includes the lines "In my own strange way, I've always been true to you / In my own sick way, I'll always stay true to you".

    Wow, great minds and all that. I was a fluke, we were going through a phase last night of song tennis, I picked one, my wife picked one, and this was one she chose.

    It was a nod to Talulah Gosh's "My Boy Says". Clearly.
