Name that Quebecois pop song

October 28, 2014 4:49 PM

In August of this year, I heard a French (presumably Quebecois) song in a karaoke bar in Montreal and for some reason it's been bugging me that I can't remember at all what it was. Can someone help me identify it based on the following sketchy and probably mis-remembered details?

• I think it had some repeated lines of the form: [imperative verb phrase] [object]. Something like "donne-moi ton ame, donne-moi ton corps" or something like that.
• One of those repeated lines had the object in English, so the song had lines that went something like "donne-moi ton ame, donne-moi ton body". This is the only clue that I'm certain of: that it incorporated at least one English word or phrase in isolation without actually being a full-on franglais song.
• I also definitely heard the song on a French radio station (probably CKOI) later that week, so either it was a relatively current song or it was actually an older song and that was just a coincidence.
• It was probably sung by a single male vocalist and kind of had a pop-rock vibe.
• It possibly also had a reference to an American celebrity that seemed oddly dated and out of place to me -- possibly Jennifer Lopez?

My google-fu was insufficient to ferret out the answer from these weak clues.
