Try this:

Not from knowledge, just some Googling.
Anyone for a foxtrot? Well at least I think that is what it is.

Well, that didn't last long...
Thanks Ian
The first line of the song, from a poem by Paul Verlaine, was sent to the French Resistance:
'This is the BBC, London..here are some personal messages: 'Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne'..'
..the signal that D-Day was on... ;-)

Good quiz Derek.Bit too subtle for me! I assume that this was not featured in 'Allo 'Allo .(Good moaning-that bird has just cripped on your hod).Not that I watched it much!

Couldn't get the grey cells going - was just content to listen to the music - very relaxing - or was that part of the plot Derek.
Many thanks.

Good one - my schoolboy French (ahem a long time ago) suggests the end of the first verse could be just that:

PS Derek Might be worth converting to MP3 if you have another music quiz - files are about 10% of the sixe of WAV files.
