French forumers, help me find a song!

Post by Moonbeam »

Now that I've started the 80s poll, I'm dying to find a song I heard snippets of last year. I heard pieces of it between songs at a karaoke place and the guy hosting the karaoke couldn't tell me what the song was, and the snippets were too short for my Soundhound to catch it. It sounded super 80s (of course), heavy on synths. I believe the synths were stepping in octaves. There was a female vocalist, and the only word I could make out was "garçon".

I know that's not a lot to go on, but I thought I might be lucky with the knowledgeable French contingent we have here!

P.S. for Moonbeam. I know you love Mylène Farmer and I wanted to tell you that I "discovered" an artist who, it seems to me, could please you very much. Calypso Valois Even if the style is different, the voice is so close that I had to point it out to you :-)
This song in particular:

Always reminds of that Tektonik remix of Yelle's cover, which was extremely popular when it came out. Youngsters would dance tektonik everywhere. 2007 was a strange year :D

It's neither of these, but they are nice!

The song I heard was more like synthpop/dance pop sounding like 1983. There weren't any guitars that I remember, just a club-happy synth bass and drum machine beats.
