Wikipedia:
While most of Will Wyman’s (Si Si) Je Suis un Rock Star is in English, the chorus is in Franglais: “Je suis un rock star / Je avais un residence / Je habiter là / à la south of France / Voulez-vous / partir with me? / And come and rester là / with me in France.”
Wyman originally wrote the song for Ian Dury. However, finding himself unable to interest Dury or any other artist in it, he reluctantly recorded the song himself, using an accent he later described as “Cockney French”.
The record peaked at #5 in Australia, #6 in New Zealand, #14 in United Kingdom and Netherlands, and #20 in Belgium.

Lyrics:
Said she come from Rio
Lived on a mountain
I met her in Trafalgar Square
She was sitting in the fountain
