Get outta my dreams, get into my car – Billy Ocean
Billy Ocean, the author of “Get outta my dreams, get into my car”, was not a guy who released tons of songs, sincerely. He released an album maybe every two or three years. Directors often included his main songs in great soundtracks.

Joe le taxi – Vanessa Paradis
Literally, because Vanessa paradis was born in 1972, therefore she was just 15 when “Joe le taxi” was released and made her famous even outside France. I must say that generally today they try to make young guys and especially girls look older than their real age.

Guesch Patti – Etienne
Guesch Patti released the song “Etienne” at the end of 1987. It actually climbed the charts during the first months of 1988, in France and in many other countries. It was a scandal, but a very styilish scandal: intriguing images, a chic woman, very fine and mysterious,
