This has bugged me intermittently for years and I'm not sure I have enough info to be useful. It was a song my Dad had on tape in the early to mid 70s. It could have been Andy Williams - not dissimilar voice, as I recall. The melody was like a stereotypical French accordian tune, not played on an accordion I don't think but the same kind of notes, a bit like the intro to "Where Do You Go To My Lovely?", just two or three notes up and down, almost. The tempo was quite relaxed, and the only lyric I can remember at the moment is a breakdown-like bit in the middle where the singer goes "Oooo-kaaaaay" (I think) and he's echoed by female backing vocalists (I think). This mightn't be much to go on, but any ideas?
