you know, the mercurochrome song, the french one, with kalimba ...

July 8, 2011 6:49 PM

Heard a catchy as-all-get-out song on CJBC-FM Espace musique early this afternoon. All I remember:

• In French
• Female singer
• Had kalimba/mbira featured pretty heavily
• Had "mercurochrome" and perhaps "petit pansement" in the lyrics.

Anyone able to ID it, please?

Wow, I certainly never expected to see Ingrid St-Pierre mentionned here! My girlfriend is friends with her. I've met her once or twice, she seems like a sweet girl.

Here's a link to the lyrics.

(You're right... this song IS catchy as all get out, and adorable, too!)
