"On dira ouf" or "Clash dans le Tempo" are favorites off Constance Amiot's _Fairytale_. The former's chorus is a fun burst of rapid French.

As an Autour de Lucie stan, would say pretty much anything of theirs, though _Immobile_ is the album I'd take to the desert island. "Sur Tes Pas" has a bunch of hooks.

leaving out songs that talk about sex and/or death (that's a lot of them!) and/or too grown up (i.e. boring), first things I thought of:

("Banana Split" even catchier but inevitably is about sex)

If sex and death are off limits, how about drugs?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_mOdSuKjcE
Seems like it would be a fun one to translate

Ha, I was thinking about suggesting Evariste's integral calculus track but thought I probably shouldn't.

"laisse tomber les filles" is not too adult, and is also the greatest pop song ever, so...

Even if I don't teach my music class anymore, I can still include musical topics as sample research topics for us to use for in-class practice. Today, among two other nonmusical topics, I presented my first year (""traditional"") college students with the question of (basically, not in these exact words) "what was going on in 2012 to produce a Billboard Hot 100 that looks like this[displays list of songs]??"
They loved it! They kept going down the list and being shocked over and over like "and this one?" etc until I saw them looking up other lists of music from 2012 and continuing to be shocked that 1) it was 10 years ago and 2) they still liked a large proportion of the songs. Wednesday they will present me with their theories. Fun topic I've been thinking about and finally implemented today.
My observations: they love CRJ, knew she had a new album out, a couple were legit fans"Someone That I Used to Know" was so beloved by one of them that she had it downloaded to her phone for anytime listeningit was enjoyable to see the passage of time sink in as they realized how different the world seems than it did in 2012overall good topic, would float again maybe with tweaks as time passes (as it does)
