Notre Vie C'Est La Musique (English translation: "Our Life Is Music") was the Monegasque entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979, performed in French by Laurent Vaguener.
The song is in praise of the power of music. Vaguener sings of his love for American popular music (blues and rock'n'roll), as well as the sounds of Paris. He explains that one of his great joys is when an attractive girl finds his music interesting and tells him "I love you".
The song was performed sixth on the night (following Finland's Katri Helena with Katson sineen taivaan and preceding Greece's Elpida with Sokrati). At the close of voting, it had received 12 points, placing 16th in a field of 19.
Following this result, Monaco withdrew from the Contest for 25 years. Thus, the song was succeeded as Monegasque representative at the 2004 Contest by Märyon with Notre Planète.
