Yet another song thread - please could you help me work out which song this is? :)

Was in a northwest London branch of Caffè Nero today and a French song came on their playlist (not sure if all branches have the same playlist at the same time or not?)

I tried Googling the lyrics that I could hear, but couldn’t make all of them out as it was a bit noisy.

Could anyone decipher the few words I managed to catch and find the song, please? :)

The song was by a female singer and was quite poppy and catchy, with hand claps.

The words I could make out were:
‘Non mais je ne sais rien’, ‘pareil’ and ‘si si’ which was repeated a few times.

Sorry - I know that’s not much to go on! I typed the lyrics above into Google and the only song it suggested was ‘Où je vais’ by Amel Bent (listened to it after on Spotify to check, and that wasn’t it :( ) Google also suggested ‘Je ne regrette rien’ by Edith Piaf, which it definitely isn’t Grin

Please help, wise Mumsnetters! :)

Joe le taxi?

StillCoughingandLaughing · 18/08/2019 14:54

Cocorico · 18/08/2019 15:28

Sorry it wasn’t Joe le taxi or Moi Lolita! :(

Non, je ne regrette rien, Edith piaff ,,?

TregunaMekoides · 18/08/2019 15:39

Tweet and ask them for their playlist. They're all about music and a lot of it is quite carefully selected.
And get Shazam app for next time!

TotorosNeighbour · 18/08/2019 15:40

Oops sorry I missed the part you said it wasn't piaff

Mostunexpected · 18/08/2019 15:44

Tout est pareil by zaho?
Lyrics aren't exactly what you put but it's quite catchy and clappy

Mileysmiley · 18/08/2019 15:49

Alizee - Moi Lolita

Brefugee · 18/08/2019 15:51

is it "Je Veux" by Zazz?

Schoolisback1973 · 18/08/2019 15:52

aya nakamura?

Cocorico · 18/08/2019 15:53

Just tweeted them - thanks for the suggestion, Treguna! :) Sadly I didn’t think of using the Shazam app as my phone was running v low on battery (typical) and didn’t want to risk it dying completely! Note to self: I’ll take my charger with me next time! Grin

Could it be Regina Spektor 'Je Ne Quitte Pas'? It's not all in French but it's very catchy.

Cocorico · 18/08/2019 16:09

Sorry it isn’t any of these! :( The song was fully in French.

TregunaMekoides · 18/08/2019 16:12

Do let us know if you find out what it is, I'd love know! French is my second language and I like a lot of French music

FenellaMaxwell · 18/08/2019 16:13

I was going to say ‘quelqu’un qui m’a dit’ as well

JaneJeffer · 18/08/2019 16:18

Christine and the Queens?

Junoon · 18/08/2019 16:24

That’s the fully French version. There is an English version, too.

Cocorico · 18/08/2019 17:08

Sorry Junoon and Jane, it’s not Christine and the Queens! Love her stuff though :)

Sure, will do - Treguna! :)

Just in the off chance - is this it? I recently shazammed it from the film A Simple Request that’s just come on Netflix. Costa may have got it from there too?!
