Stefan Eicher studied in nearby Zurich when I lived in Switzerland in the early 80s. He sings in Swiss German, German, French, Italian & Romansch. Hereâs one of his earlier new-wavy hits singing in French about the riverside walk in Zurich.
Trivia: I heard an interview with him, where he regrets making the grammatical error of singing âTous les fillesâ when it should be âToutes les fillesâ Oh, the shameâŠ

Greetings
Nice one Rogier, even if there are some âunintelligibleâ parts
