Comme a la radio

The title track, which opens the album and gave its name to the Vieux-Colombier show it came from.
Brigitte Fontaine, from Comme a la radio (1970)

"Comme a la radio" opens the album at 8:03 or 8:04 and is the piece the stage show at the Theatre du Vieux-Colombier took its name from. By the duo's usual division Fontaine wrote the words and Areski the music, though per-track credits were not verified. The Japanese singer Jun Togawa covered it in 2000, and French Wikipedia lists further covers and adaptations of the album's material by Aut'Chose (1975), Otomo Yoshihide (2007), Asa-Chan and Junray (2008) and Marc Moulin (2009). The Wewantsounds deluxe edition includes an English version of the title track, instrumental versions and ORTF live recordings. Her own account of the lyric, a chart history and a video were not found, and our upload is presumed to be the album recording.
