80's song ID!!
Hey all,
was listening to the 80's station on windows media player and i've heard a song a couple of times that I really like. It's sung by a male (or group of males) and it's completely in French. It's a dance song. Very 80's. Pop/electronic-ish.
Any ideas?

Could the artist be Plastic Bertrand?
Their best known song in the US is from the late 70s though.
I think it was called Ca Plane Pour Moi.

Nope...it doesn't sound like ANY of these.
This song is REALLY pop-ish. Think "this time I know it's for real" by donna summer but with guys. And all in french.

I don't remember the name of the band, but there was a song from the eighties that was in French I used to like. It had a recurring part that was just "la, la, la - la, la, la - la, la, la". It was something like "C'est Cum Sa". I know I'm not spelling that right. Could this be it?

From what I remember of the video, it was a man and a woman singing the song. It was just them two dancing and singing throughout the video. I'm blanking out on the name of the group though.

Nope...that's definitely not it. It's too "rock-ish." Not enough pop. It's very happy and shout-y.
I actually emailed the website but we'll see about an actual response.
