I had many memories of going to jarry Park with Dad from 1969-73 when we moved to Maine. I returned to VT after college and went to many more games at Olympic Stadium. This tune is forever etched in my brain and that is a good thing. Allons-y les expos!

[Jean90684]

"Il est le meilleur organiste qu'il m'ait été donné d'entendre dans un stade de baseball", Al Barlick arbitre dans la NBL, 1970. Quelle belle époque. Merci Fernand!

[Bshep47]

This brings back so many memories from attending my very first Major League baseball game back at Jarry Park in 1969, and falling in love with the Expos and the game of baseball at the same time. Since then I have watched hundreds of games in all four Canadian Major League Ball Parks; Jarry Park, Olympic Stadium, Exhibition Stadium, and SkyDome (Roger's Centre) Boy I miss Les Expos. WE NEED THEM BACK.

[Mrkissuallover12]

This is awesome. I went to 32 games in 1979 and loved every minute of it.

[Cheessa]

When I hear this song, the Expos game is about to start, I have my hygrade hot dog, a coke, and waiting for the peanut guy to come by and toss a bag to me from 30 feet away. Then watch Ken Singleton and Bob Bailey ht home runs. All is well.

[Zeustorm]

Quelque connait un site ou trouver la chanson si oui je serais interesses a retrouver ce classique

[lcpmarketinggroup]

Belle. Ca me rappelle les jours d'été au Stade olympique.

Ramenez les Expos de Montréal. Merci pour les souvenirs M. Lapierre

Beautiful. Reminds me of the summer days at Olympic Stadium.

Bring back the Montreal Expos. Thank You for the memories Mr Lapierre

[michleg]

Memories Of my two evenings at Parc Jarry, run deep as I remember when Fernand Tickled The Ivories with his selection of Music.

Vive Les Expos!

[Ricer80]

[damour5]

Incroyable ce que ça rappelle comme souvenirs... Est-ce que ces pièces (en particulier celle-ci) existent sur cd? Si oui, comment se les procurer? Merci.

[johnny2vegas]

[kingofallwhites]

The Expos MUST return one day. It broke my heart to see Dick Cheney throwing out a pitch in DC. And I'm an American.

[mantle31]

OH how I miss my Expos!

Thank you for posting.

[ledeux]

[robertla2]

[Mrstinger09]

Great memory from Parc Jarry!

[exposfan77]

Merci Fernand pour ce beau souvenir qui restera toujours dans le coeur de tous les fans des Expos - Thanks Fernand for this wonderful memory that will forever stay in the hearts of all Expos fans!

[supercath22]

Bravo, et merci pour la chanson, je m'ennuie de mes Expos!!!!! Cat

[wnaburgencesante]

Quelle sont les mots pour ce chanson svp?

What are the words for this song please?

[uncleben65]

Je me souviens de quelques bouts, la deuxi`me moitié en fait:

Viens papa dépêche-toi

On n'attend plus que toi

Pour chanter les Expos sont là

Quqnd moi je crierai bravo

Toi tu lanceras ton chapeau

On le fera champions nos Expos.

Quelqu'un connaît le premier couplet?

[uncleben65]

Je me suis rappelé d'un bout de couplet:

Ne vois-tu pas qu'il est déjà l'heure

D'aller encourager nos couleurs

Car déjà les estrades sont pleines

Bleu blanc rouge, les voilà qui s'amènent...

[uncleben65]

Le premier couplet:

Viens papa fais-toi beau

Mets ton joli chapeau

Je t'emmène voir les Expos

Maman te tiendra le bras

Hurlant hip hip hip hourra

On mangera des frites et du chocolat....

[bklonb]

althouggh im a diehard habsfan as every one is in montreal i am dying for the mlb to return to montreal

[SteveAndIdiAmin]

Not gonna happen. Montreal just isn't a Major League Baseball town. There are other cities in a similar predicament. But they "need baseball" more for their civic identity, and for some reason or reasons (unstable ownership, crummy stadium, general civic apathy, the drag a Canadian team had on U.S. TV rights fees), the MLB office decided that Nos Amours were expendable.

I think the Nats will draw if they build a contender. They had nearly 40k yesterday afternoon for a game with the Mets.

[ja24]

well, i hope so...they built a new stadium. Still they dont average 30 000 per game.

[orleans53]

Just so many memories from good old Jarry Park sitting with my Dad in the bleachers.....

[Shindler39]

Merci Michel, les Expos, c'était une partie de ma vie. Cette chanson me rapelle lorsque les Expos sautait sur le terrain pour le début du match.

[teddyzed]

expolent !!!

[Medic83301]

LES EXPOS ! I'd like to see MLB back in Montreal !

[ostrogoth2006]

FERN The Rock !!!

[frankyflo]

Excellent .... que de souvenirs !!!

Félicitation Fern...

Tu devrais enregistrer la chanson theme des Expos et la vendre sur CD avec quelques autres de tes meilleurs hits... j'suis sûr que ça pognerais. Ça fait longtemps que je recherche ta version intrumentale. je la ferais jouer sur le terrain avec grand plaisir lors de mes matchs juniors !!!

C'est trop hot !!!!

[manjikis]

I really miss baseball in montreal. I know an adult shouldn't be so sentimental and with all that is miserable in this world, I should be thankful that my friends and family are healthy and happy. But I really miss baseball in montreal.

[brucer33]

Saturday am; leaving Ottawa...surviving the wild Pie IX exit off Metropolitan...getting to the park EARLY...sitting up in the always moving oval sun patch of the Big O...un smoked meat puis une o'keefe...listening to Fernand Lapierre cook on the keys...now that's when time stood still!

Thanks for this collection esp The Expos theme song...one of the greatest baseball songs ever made!!

I think you used to do a medley with Tico Tico and Brazil which was fabulous -

Bruce

[sixpointfour]

This song brings on some tears. 94 Expos Sont La

[ahengnbo]

My brother and sister and I were the English singers of this song when it first came out. (ages 6 to 11 at the time) "Those expos play to win, they know the way to win, here comes a run for Montreal!"

We were each paid 15 dollars and were given 1 45 single!

Geez, coulda been a contender...

[patrickandfrani]

Good God, what a treat to hear this.....if only we ould find the Happy Wanderer. I almost expect to hear, "La vol-ti-ger a droite, the right-fiel-der, numero dix-septs, number seven-teen....Elll-isss Val-en-tinnnne"

[bahwheat]

Fernand, I remember visiting at your place with Blackie in 1987. You're a GREAT guy and I'll never forget you or your music. I enjoy all your videos. Thanks & God Bless you.

[ab348]

I was looking for a recording of Les Expos Sont La! and I find it the way it was meant to be heard, played by Fernand Lapierre! What wonderful memories this brings: Jarry Park, the smells,the yell of "Creme Glacee!", and "John Boc-a-BELL-a" called to the plate!

I would love to hear Happy Wanderer and the other signature music Fernand played at the ballpark. It wouldn't make the loss of the Expos any easier to take, but it would sure bring back some thoughts of happier times. Thanks!

[RobDog65]

Michel, I'd love to hear some a suite of Fernand's old Jarry Park songs, i.e. "Happy Wanderer" and the jingle he played when a foul ball would roll back down the screen. :)

[wiedep]

viva Fernand! the best organist in baseball after Jane Jarvis!

[louisphilippegilles]

Salut Fernand,

I enjoyed you demo show in Montmagny, Qc.

Toujours,un plaisir de te revoir, nice to see you again!

Rimouski te salut! Hello from Rimouski!GP

[spades911]

Incredible! Incroyable! Good job! The day I need a musician consider yourself on top of my list! lol Une journée peut-être que tu aura la chance de jouer cet chanson une autre foi..
