Music and lyrics

This drinking song was composed notably by Jean-Jacques Lafon under the pseudonym of J.Falon. This French singer has had a smash hit in 1986 with "Le Géant de papier". Very popular, the song deals with the tasting of the wine and the sausage, in company with some friends, in a festive atmosphere.

Licence IV was a male duet composed of Olivier Guillot and Francis Vacher, who were respectively the secretary and the artistic director of Patrick Sébastien. Gillou - Pierre Perret's accordionist -, who is mentioned in the lyrics, also participated in the composition of the song.[1]

The single was charted for 32 weeks on the French Singles Chart, from March 7 to October 10, 1987. It debuted at #27, reached the top top two weeks later and became #1 in its sixth week. It stayed there for 13 consecutive weeks, which was at the time the record of the most weeks at the top for a single (this record was also carried out the previous year by the band Images with their hit "Les Démons de minuit"). The single totaled 23 weeks in the top ten[2] and was certified Platinum disc by the SNEP.[3] According to Infodisc website, this song is the 38th best-selling single of all time in France with 1,220,000 sales.[4]
