I play an Array Mbira. The tines are made of spring steel. I have sweaty hands, so the tines tend to rust unless I coat them with oil. The folks who make the instrument recommend 3-In-One Oil, which is what I've been using. Does it contain anything toxic? Are there other oils I could use to protect the tines? [more inside]

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?
