Fred has the song correctly nailed down but for one small point, Plastic's (off-topic material) version was itself a cover of the earlier original (written by Roger Tabrat) that went Gold the first time round.

I'll leave you overnight to dwell on it - it's nearly midnight here. With one small clue - the lead singer (if I can pick out his voice correctly) gave up this sport we enjoy for a short while to operate a 60mm mortar whilst hunting the "fieldgrau", Fortunately for France, he returned.
