Released in 1964, "Sacré Charlemagne" is a track popularized by French yé-yé singer France Gall. The lyrics were penned by her father Robert Gall, while the music was written by composer Georges Liferman. Musically, "Sacré Charlemagne" is emblematic of the yé-yé genre, a style prevalent in 1960s France that combined elements of pop and rock with an unmistakably French touch. The track's infectious rhythm and France Gall's youthful exuberance made it a hit among fans. With a tongue-in-cheek tone, its humorous lyrics criticize the school system for taking away the joy and freedom of childhood. The narrative is a witty nod to history, as Charlemagne was indeed instrumental in advancing education during his reign. Following its release, "Sacré Charlemagne" garnered significant attention, peaking at number 4 on the French singles chart and also becoming a hit in Japan. It was France Gall's first major hit in France and, over the following years, it became a popular French schoolchildren's song.
