This thread contains an interesting discussion of Seasons in the Sun/Le Moribond. JJ is right on: the sardonic "Le Moribond" was written and recorded by Jacques Brel. Rod McKuen [mis]translated the song as a sappy "Seasons in the Sun", and a treacly version of that was a big hit for Terry Jacks in the 70's, possibly turning many people off to Brel. Quel dommage!
