Thread Name: Lyr Req: french/cajun folk song
Subject: french/cajun folk song
I'm looking for the title/performer of a worldwide well known traditional folksong, sung in French but more in Cajun style. The person singing is female and I suppose it is from the seventies (maybe even older).

The main part of the song (which is repeated a few times in the song) contains a sentence which I recall like: "... Il y a longtemp qu'on fait la politique..." and then something like 'moustique'.

I suppose this will not be easy to identify the song from the description given above, but the song is playing in my head for a few days now and it is driving me crazy: I just got to find out how it is called.

Thanks in advance, Ben
