Edith Bowman sits in with a Thursday Theme: songs with a bit of French in them!

Jodie Foster delivers her first fully French-language performance in new film 'A Private Life', in cinemas tomorrow, so Edith wants your songs that have a bit of the French language in them. That can be songs that feature any words of French in them or even artists who have some French in their name, particularly from performers whose first language is not French.

To listen on most smart speakers, just 'ask BBC Sounds to play Jo Whiley'.

Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 2.
