[edit] Recording
Does anyone think that a recording of the actual song could be put up, at least a short segment of it, to be compared to the 1860 recording? That's why I actually came to this page, to hear the song in a better sound and compare the two, but it's the same 1860 recording, so I'm still not quite sure what it should sound like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.242.40.144 (talk • contribs) 03:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
I came to this site for the same reason as the anon. If someone could put up another recording of the song it would be great.

- I've added a link to http://gauterdo.com/ref/aa/au.clair.de.la.lune.html that contains a 1931 recording by Yvonne Printemps playing in the background. Korg (talk) 00:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
{move|Au Clair de la Lune}
"Au Clair de la Lune (song)" appears to be the primary topic, so I would suggest to move the page to Au Clair de la Lune; the disambiguation page could be moved to Au Clair de la Lune (disambiguation). Korg (talk) 01:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, definitely. Relata refero (talk) 14:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 1860 recording
The line of the song being sung in this recording is actually "...Pierrot répondit" rather than "...mon ami Pierrot" as stated. The website of FirstSounds (the organisation that originally decoded the recording, and made it available for download) gives the correct line, but in any case it should be obvious from listening to the recording. 217.155.20.163 (talk) 12:48, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- FirstSounds appears to be mistaken, since the recording contains the beginning of the song ("Au clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot, prête..."). While the majority of news media quoted the press release, a few other websites, but also some commentators in forums and blogs, gave the first line or noticed the misquotation: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5].
