La Vie en Rose
Edith Piaf had a very sad life so her song la vie en rose being at the opposite of what she was living is rather poignant

though the song is sung in french, the singer (Brel) is a Belgian. The song does not belong on this list.

Tous les garcons
Francoise Hardy, a really silly song about somebody who can't find love but the tune is so catchy that you will find yourself singing it at a drop of a hat

Milord
Sung by Edith Piaf, "Milord", or "Ombre de la Rue" ("Shadow of the Street") recounts the feelings of a lower-class "girl of the port" who develops a crush on an elegantly attired apparent upper-class British traveller, who has not even noticed her.
