longshot for tour into tape - someone confirm please it was valse a mille temp?

[Dr Peppers]

Noticed there was a song on the intro described asOlder French(?) song, sounded very bouncy with a circus like sound - Sounds like a description of one of my favourite tracks -- Un valse a mille temp (Waltz of a thousand tempos) by Jacques Brel - can anybody confirm?

There wagonloads of songs fitting that description. I doubt it's a Brel song however, and put my money on a Sacha Distel-song.

 

[Dr Peppers]

of course there are wagonloads - hence Longshot was the first word

No speaka da englessh??

By the way: your French isn't that good, is it? The correct title of the song you are referring to is: "La Valse à Mille Temps".

It isn't it.

Sorry Dr Peppers. That wasn't it.
The song was a little more lively with the instrumentation.

This is a very nice song though, Brel has always been a favorite.

 

[Dr Peppers]

Thanks for the info dallow bg

Good to get the confirmation that it wasn't it, and yes it is a song worth having nonetheless.

It is a female singer. Sounded like Brigitte Bardot to me.

Perhaps "Bubble Gum", a B.B. song written by S. Gainsbourg. It has a rag-time sounding piano and percussion done with 'brushes' instead of sticks. A bit "circusy" perhaps.

Just a though.
