| La Grippe  performed by  Jacques Higelin avec Brigitte Fontaine  () 
 
 Simply beautiful music.  Fontaine and Higelin take turns singing verses, accompanied by a jazz band that delivers spare, but beautifully affecting melodic touches.  The chemistry of the two voices is great, and everytime I hear this song, I can't wait to hear the next reply in the flow of their odd, sad conversation about influenza, love, and death.  "Ma grippe vous va tr�s bien... La mort vous ira tr�s bien."  (My flu suits you very well... death will suit you very well.)
