My high school French is rusty, but I believe "Sur Les Bateaux Mouche" (by Gilbert Einaudi and Jaques Mercier) translates literally as "On The Fly-Boat." This refers to a type of sightseeing yacht that is frequently seen on the river Seine. Some believe the music was featured on the HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm; but when I was a kid in the late 50s and early 60s a number of French tunes were popular, and it seems like I remember this as being one of them. Maybe it's just the French quality I'm remembering; still, I've heard this particular tune somewhere before.
