I recall hearing a song on the radio, probably in the the early to mid 70's -- which no one else I know seems to remember. I seem to recall it being sung by a male accompanied by an acoustic guitar and little (if anything) else, I think.

The verses were in English, bits and pieces of which I remember and I believe this is (roughly) the first verse:

? ? Mr. Moon flew away in the night With his best friend Magnus(?) right by his side They flew through the milky way counting the stars Once around Venus, twice around Mars. The chorus was in French, which I do NOT know, so I won't attempt to mangle it too badly here. I want to say it involves something about "les petites enfants" as a rhymed couplet with "tout le monde", but I could just be completely insane. (I was very young at the time I heard it and my friends all think I made it up when I sing it to them in the hopes of jogging a memory!)

As always, any help is mucho appreciado!

(And yes, I posted this before but kind of buried it in a nother thread. Jinkies!!)
