Alouette (Song)

Alouette is a popular French-language children's song about plucking feathers from a Lark. Although its in French. It is similar to Frère Jacques.
History
"Alouette" has become a symbol of French Canada for the world, a national song. Today, the song is used to teach French- and English-speaking children in Canada, and others learning French around the world, the names of body parts. Singers will point to or touch the part of their body that corresponds to the word being sung in the song.
In this song, the Lark (l'alouette) is the bird of the morning, and is the first bird to sing in the morning, waking up others. In French songs, the lark also has the reputation of being a gossip, a know-it-all, and cannot be relied on to carry a message, as it will tell everyone; it also carries bad news. However, the nightingale, being the first bird of spring, in Europe, sings happily all the time, during the lovely seasons of spring and summer. The nightingale (i.e., rossignol) also carries messages. And so, as the lark makes lovers part or wakes up the sleepyhead, this would explain why the singer of "Alouette" wants to pluck it in so many ways if he can catch it, this bird is flighty as well.
