||
| − | '''''La mer''''', a song written by French lyricist Charles Trenet (1913-2001), is the basis for the popular song "Beyond the Sea." |
||
| − | The English lyric was written by Jack Lawrence. It has been recorded by many singers, but Bobby Darin's version is the best-known. |
||
| − | It is claimed that Trenet wrote the song, together with Leo Chauliac, while riding a train in 1943. It was not until 1946 that he actually recorded the song, however. |
||
| − | It was featured in the opening credits to ''L.A. Story''. The English version of the song featured prominently in the X-Files Season 1, Episode 12, also named "Beyond the Sea". The end credits for the French version of ''Finding Nemo'' actually contain "Beyond The Sea."

| − | ==Relevance to Lost== |
||
| − | In {{ep|1x12}}, [[Sayid]] asks a reluctant [[Shannon]] to translate [[Rosseau's Maps and Notes|notes]] made in the map by [[Danielle Rousseau]]. Shannon recognizes the song as the ending theme to the "computer-animated fish movie" that [[Philippe]]'s son Laurent replayed over and over (''Finding Nemo''). The notes turn out to be the lyrics of this song. Since it is a popular French song that was first recorded in the 1940s, Danielle Rousseau was probably familiar with it since childhood. Either that, or the song could have been the music from her [[Music Box|music box]]. |
