Title: 1969 Le Mans "La Ronde Infernale" theme song
Post by: Mr. Rick on January 11, 2014, 11:59:20 am

Ok this one has been bugging us for years. Assuming you've seen the fabulous "La Ronde Infernale" video of the incredible 1969 24 Hours (which I've just watched AGAIN), there is a song at the beginning and the end which is a classic piece of French music. But what is it?

Have you tried Shazam?

I have LRI on VHS but the player has not been unboxed since last house move and is buried in the loft. I can't remember the music, but I know someone who might be able to identify it if you can upload a wav or mp3.

Would you like an mp3?

I wouldn't call it classical in the normal sense, its some little ditty that they fitted the words "Le vingt quatre heures du Mans to.

Job done.

There's a longer section during the night/fairground section, but it's ruined by those noisy cars

Thanks, I'll forward to the man who might know the answer.

Yes it does sound a bit "Sunday night at the London Palladium".  I remember doing my homework to the background of SNATLP with the aroma of my mum ironing my school shirt ready for Monday morning!

I have just stumbled across this. I have wanted to get this song for a very long time: is there any chance someone could forward me the MP3, too? I would really be grateful.

No worries folks - the French Connection is here to help. The song is "Milord" by Edith Piaf.
