I think I've listened to it 5000 times so far, so I'm hoping the full album lives up to the promise of this one track.

Charles Trenet Wrote and Recorded the Song La Mer

He wrote it in 1943 and then recorded it in 1946.

For those of you keeping track, Charles Trenet also sang Boum, which was used in Toto the Hero to great effect:

Trenet performing it…

Bobby Darin Sang it in English as "Beyond the Sea" and it Made it's Way into Goodfellas

In the flow of the movie

And Then it Came Back, In French, on Lost

Modestly inspired by James Burke's Connections.

I'm going to see them on September 9, 2011. I can't wait. The last time I saw them was the first time I heard the above track. It was a memorable evening.
