Léo Daniderff
Léo Daniderff (Gaston-Ferdinand Niquet; 16 February 1878 in Angers, France – 24 October 1943 in Rosny-sous-Bois, France) was a French composer of the pre-World War II era. His 1917 comical song, a foxtrot-shimmy named "''Je cherche après Titine''" (lyrics by Louis Mauban and Marcel Bertal), became world-famous due to Charlie Chaplin's singing it in gibberish in '' Modern Times'' (1936), especially because it was the first time his character ever spoke in the movies and Chaplin did not want The Tramp to use any particular language. The title means "I am looking for Titine", and Titine is the diminutive of some feminine first names such as Martine and Clémentine. In the United States this song appeared in 1925 in the Broadway musical ''Puzzles of 1925'', and was recorded by tenor Billy Jones. In Poland, the song was initially sung as a cabaret number by Eugeniusz Bodo with original lyrics by Andrzej Włast (signing as "Willy" on the music sheet), to a major success. A ...

People From Angers
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of pe ...

My Name Is Not Merv Griffin
"My Name Is Not Merv Griffin" is a 1982 novelty song by Gary Muller. It is a parody of "Je cherche après Titine," with music by Léo Daniderff and lyrics by Louis Mauban and Marcel Bertal. The melody is the same as that of Charlie Chaplin's nonsense-song performance toward the end of his 1936 film, '' Modern Times''. The song is based on the singer's lament that he supposedly resembles celebrity talk show host Merv Griffin and that Griffin's fans are stalking him, with disconcerting consequences. The song was popularized by repeated airplay on the Dr. Demento Show and was featured on the 1983 album ''Demento's Mementos''.
