Le bon roi Dagobert (song)

"Le bon roi Dagobert" ("Good King Dagobert"), also called "Le roi Dagobert a mis sa culotte à l’envers", is an old French song featuring King Dagobert (roi Dagobert) and Saint Eligius (saint Éloi), two historical people. The song was created in the 1750s and was intended to ridicule royalty. It was inspired by tales of debauchery of the life of Dagobert I.

For its hourly chime, the clock of the town hall in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis alternates between two different tunes, "Le bon roi Dagobert" and "Le temps des cerises".
