Joe Dassin, 1969
Written by Pierre Delanoë, Michael Wilshaw, Michael Deighan
Here's something I didn't know: This song is a French-language cover of "Waterloo Road," a single released the previous year by the English rock band Jason Crest, which I have never heard of. Another Wikitidbit: Dassin later recorded versions of the song in English, German, Italian and Japanese! I assume he did this with varying degrees of fluency. It's a feel-good ballad with a sing-along chorus, about meeting someone ("Je m'baladais sur l'avenue le cœur ouvert à l'inconnu / J'avais envie de dire bonjour à n'importe qui") who takes you on an adventure, and just enjoying the life on the street.
