Bring back our Expos. :(

@MontrealExposForever I sure do agree with you!

I remember hearing this song every time the Phillies played the Expos in Montreal, Ah Les Expos, I miss them so.

J'ai souvent entendu la version instrumentale, au tempo un peu plus rapide, de cette chanson-là. Si jamais tu la trouves, ce serait gentil de ta part de la téléverser ici. Merci bien!

@Magnanime30 Si je la trouve, c'est sûr que je la mettrai en vidéo! Merci!

I remember listening to this song every time before the games. You wouldn't know where I could get ti in English?

[fenicnarfabc]

@polytide51 I tried to find it, but I don't know if it was also in English. I'll let you know soon.

[fenicnarfabc]

@polytide51 I am still trying to find the English version!  :-)

[polytide51]

@fenicnarfabc Thanks - that would be great. I can still remember listening to it before Russ Taylor came on. 1969 and the 23-game losing streak!

@polytide51 I like memories about the Expos years! Thanks!

@polytide51 CBC Archives has it in an early story on the Expos.

[gakski]

@polytide51 The CBC Archives has a story from 4/14/69 "Les Expos spnt la" with the English version at the beginning of the story.

@gakski Thanks, it was great listening to that first bit. I'll keep searching for the whole song - I remember it had a great line, "Leave all the dishes where they are, pile all the family in the car...."

and "Maybe this is the year, we'll see the Series right here, we'll see the Expos take it all..." I loved that song
