Terrific variant of "Derrière chez nous..." on YouTube, sung by Serre l'Écoute:

I don't know how the music compares to the tune printed by Barbeau, nor have I compared the text to what they're singing, aside from verifyig the overall correspondence.

YouTube has many more clips of Serre l'Écoute. They're also on MySpace, with several full-length clips. See this thread for some more clip links and lyrics:

Added note by Q.
Artful Codger's thread 139016 (linked) contains lyrics of several songs sung by Serre l'Écoute.
These include:
Quand j'ai parti de l'Ile-aux-Loups
Le cou de ma bouteille
Ma maîtresse fait bien la fière
The above thanks to Monique.
