La Vie en Rose. It was sang originally by Edith Piaf in 1945. I think over 50 international artists - from Louis Armstrong to Donna Sommer - have covered it since. However, I think Grace Jone's version was and still is the best - until Alizee decides to do a cover on it, of course. It was the first French song that I liked.
