Does anyone know the name of the silly song played at the beginning of this film when the float was floating around??? Thanks.

"La Mer," performed by Charles Trenet (kind of a latter-day Chevalier).

"La Mer" by Charles Trenet" great song, I play it when I drive on the freeways in LA.---reduces the road rage.

if you think it's a 'silly song' why do you want to know what it's called? do yourself a favour and track down the english-language cover version by bobby darin called 'beyond the sea'. it's deeply inferior & unutterably bland & may suit your tastes a bit better.

Was there any need for that level of arrogance? It was a polite question - why not answer it with a polite answer!
