I see your "La mer" and raise you another "La mer". A completely different song despite the same title.

Yeah, dating back to 1949 and way out of the usual line of our fare, but made a bit famous again after many decades by BioShock including it on one of their soundtracks.

Courtney Love was briefly the vocalist for Faith No More, before they became famous.
