The constant playing of Ça Plane Pour Moi by Plastic Bertrand on various international broadcasts, because it’s just about the most popular French-speaking song in the Anglosphere…
Case in point, here’s an NBC Promo from the United States:
Even though the irony is that Plastic Bertrand is very much a Belgian from Brussels, and Plastic Bertrand seemingly admitted in 2010 that he didn’t even sing the 1977 record, which was actually his producer Lou Deprijck in the midst of a dispute.
Which apparently makes Plastic Bertrand the best French-speaking mime since Marcel Marceau.
Actually, that’s a lie, because Marcel Marceau didn’t speak.

Actually Marcel Marceau had the only speaking role in Mel Brooks’ film Silent Movie.
