Scoubidou is the French translation [1] of Abel Meeropol's "Apples, Peaches and Cherries", a Peggy Lee hit, originally written in English . It was sung by Sacha Distel, and was his first hit song. After Distel and Abel Meeropol settled a copyright infringement law suit over Distel's plagiarism, the royalties provided income to Michael and Robert Meeropol, the sons of the executed Russian spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.
