Whatever you do today,WATCH THIS VIDEO,listen to this song, I beg you. You will thank me.

This Song was also covered by David Bowie, and Bowies version can be found on disc 1 of "Bowie at the beeb" That was perhaps my favourite song ever, until I found this on the tubes.

Ok, I replaced it with another recording, if possible, this one is even better ,I wouldnt normally do this, bu it has subtitles for us non-french speakers, and it makes a huge diffence to get the lyrics, if you havent heard the english version (or know french)

That was entirely too huge a beatup for a fairly 'eh' song I'm afraid.

Great song!
Here is the Dutch version of the song, it's the best quality version I could find, still pretty crappy though:

I thought it might be appropriate, it being about a Dutch city.
The song is called "Acda en de Munnik - De Stad Amsterdam"

I grew up to this music (don't ask) English version from the 1966 Broadway version seems to be back in print: http://www.amazon.com/Jacques-Alive-Living-Original-Off-Broadway/dp/B000067AS5/ref=pd_bbs_3/002-1240614-4312061?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1178828956&sr=8-3

I'm so pleased to see this on the sift.
Brel is great, and even if he was, in fact, Belgian, he's the eternal pride of the french speaking people.

This version is regrettably cut off in both ends, but it has the english subtitles. Powerful performance.
