It's definitely "Madeleine" and one of the definitive recordings of it is from the Balfa Brothers. Christine Balfa, of Balfa Toujours, is the daughter of Dewey Balfa, of the Balfa Brothers.

It's called "Madeleine" or "Oh Madeleine". Definitely not Cajun Fever.

NPR says the name of the song was 'Cajun Fever' but the poster of the vid thinks it's Madeleine. i'm not positive. if only the lyrics were in English and up on lyrics websites. does anyone know the name and where we can find it?

[tangledupinblue99]

I know right. that was one of the cutest things ever.

[SaskiaCornell]
