Ella Ella was a song first sung by France Gall. She was born in 1947 and she sang this song in 1968. It was a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald.
Here is a translation of the song:

She came from a highly musical family. Her father wrote songs for Edith Piaf who I'm sure some of you have heard of.
Her singing career saw it's first success when she was 16.
At the beginning of 1967 ( she was 20), Gall sang a duet with Maurice Biraud, "La Petite", which describes a young girl coveted by a friend of her father. This song was controversial as with Alizee, Moi Lolita was controversial.
After a TV film directed by Jean-Christophe Averty and dedicated to the songs of Gall was distributed in the United States in 1965, Gall was sought by Walt Disney to appear as Alice in a musical film version of Alice in Wonderland, after having already made Alice into a cartoon in 1951. Although Gall had insisted she did not want to become involved in film work, this was the only project which appealed to her. The project was cancelled after Disney's death in 1966.[citation needed]
From Wikipedia: "In 1979, Gall took part in a new show which remains memorable for many. Composed by Michel Berger and written by the Québécois author Luc Plamondon, the rock opera Starmania enjoyed a success not usual for musicals in France. The show played for one month at Palais des congrès de Paris. In 1982, Gall rehearsed in the Palais des Sports of Paris to present Tout pour la musique, an innovative spectacle marked by its use of electronic music. The songs "Résiste" and "Il jouait du piano debout" ("He played the piano standing") quickly became French pop standards
Of course as mentioned above, 'Il jouait du piano debout', was a song that Alizée also sang.
